.jpg "Airline 62-329 (1937)") |
I've mentioned this before: Montgomery Wards sold millions of products without manufacturing anything! Radios were no exception. Just on the Radio Museum alone over 2,000 models are listed. They did succeed as they used very good radio manufacturers and sold quality products. The list of manufacturers of Airline radios is long. Wells-Gardner, Belmont, Davidson-Haynes, US Radio Corp. and Kingston Radio. Here is a list of the manufacturers' abbreviations used on many labels of Airline radios: AA, BR, CB, CCB, GAA, GHM, GSE, GSL, GWM, HA, JB, JP, KP, KR, WG and others! The 62-329 is a nine-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. The set utilizes two 6F6 tubes for push-pull audio through an 8-inch speaker, which enhances the volume noticeably. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead and an audio input cable were installed. Gary stripped off the old finish, and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, dial scale, chassis and speaker were retained. This radio is a great performer across the dial with plenty of volume and tone control and a bright and active tuning eye tube. This large, unique Airline can be a great addition to your collection, and will offer years of use. It's ready to go to a new home! 23"W x 12-1/2"H x 9"D. $749.00. (1600524) |
