THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here is a beautiful Firestone Air Chief (yep, same store that sold tires, appliances, toys, bicycles, etc.). Sold under the Firestone name, but the radios were made by quality companies such as Stewart-Warner, Detrola, Wells-Gardner, and others. These were well crafted radios. This is an interesting one; BC & SW bands. This model was made by Stewart-Warner and performs well picking up all my locals & beyond with great volume, clarity & selectivity using an internal loop antenna, having been recently restored electronically. The radio is all original and does show minimal wear while retaining the decals and even the photo-finish. The radio offers an additional benefit of a tone control. The factory clear coat shows some light "crazing," but what a display it is with the step-down top, auto influenced grille area. Because of the originality including the photo-finish on the one panel and beautiful contrasting woods, I could not bring myself to stripping the cabinet (only can be original once). Knobs, grille cloth, full factory back + full factory sticker intact and speaker are all original + great gold lighted dial make it "pop." This is a fairly rare set. 18"W x 10"H x 8"D.
