THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here is a very rare, 1948 Setchell Carlson five-Tube, "Personalized" cylinder shaped radio, Model 570 in very nice original condition, showing some light expected wear for a 75 year old gem. The radio is all original and complete, but unrestored & not working tho is does light up nicely & is an eye catcher for sure. This radio has a rather unique feature, the speaker is detachable, and is to be used for under your pillow or bedside. The removable pillow speaker is a Wright Zimmerman Inc. Model 300 Dynamic Reproducer. Bart T. Setchell was president and chief electrical engineer. C. Donald Carlson was secretary-treasurer and chief mechanical engineer. Wright Zimmerman, Inc and Walco Industries were part of the Setchell-Carlson complex. All three companies were located in the same manufacturing facilities in New Brighton, MN. Original electrical cord, dial, and knobs in excellent condition, + metal model number label on bottom, which reads Model 570-Serial 2517-New Brighton, Minnesota, U.S.A. - Licensed by R.C.A. & Hazeltine. It has wear on the ends as shown in pics. This is a very hard to find tube radio that seldom comes up for sale. 11"W x 5"H.
