.jpg "Stewart-Warner R-142AS (1936)") |
Stewart-Warner, based in Chicago, started manufacturing radios in 1925. Up to then they were a very successful company making automotive instruments. The company over-produced radios, making 1000 sets a day. This forced them to sell at reduced rates, not a good business model. The instrument division was always a success and carried the company to profitability. The R-142AS is a five-tube, two-band (SB,police) set. All of the capacitors were replaced with new equivalents. Resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, audio input cable and safety fuse. Gary stripped the radio and skillfully restored the veneer using the bast products. He applied a few coats of lacquer, then polished it to a gorgeous "piano" finish. He installed a reproduction of the original grille cloth. The knobs, 5-inch speaker, dial and chassis are all original. We really like Stewart Warner's "Craft-Built cabinets for quality and design” badge which is present. A really great radio at a great price! 15"W x 10"H x 8"D. $495.00. (1600638) |
