.jpg "Majestic 1S-49 \"Melody Cruiser\" (1940)") |
 Majestic always seemed to be fighting to stay in business. In the middle of the thirties during the recession, they designed a line of small, Art Deco radios that featured chrome grilles called "Smart Sets." Then the company changed hands and produced a line of novelty radios in 1939-1940, and most of them are quite rare and highly collectable, as are the "Smart Sets." Radios were designed using the figures of Charlie McCarthy, Lone Ranger, Rudolph and the Melody Cruiser allowed Majestic to gain a new foothold in the radio industry. The 1S-49 is a five-tube, AC/DC AM only radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and antenna rigging were in stalled. The sails and rigging serve as the antenna for this unique radio. Gary refinished the radio using correct toners and paint, and a nice semi-gloss on the middle segment of the ship. The chassis, knobs, 4-inch speaker, sails, back and dial scale are factory originals to the set. This beautifully restored rare Majestic radio is priced right...what a great and unique addition to your collection! 20"W x 16"H x 6"D. $749.00. (1600619) |
