THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Aetna was the house brand for Walgreen, the drug-store chain, but like many retailers of the day, they bought their radios from other manufacturers. No doubt this one was made by Climax as it is exactly same cabinet as Climax AC-65 & only the dial is different (check the books & google). This back lit dial is beautiful, esp. lit up. The graphics are perfect on the domed dial & very detailed with the Aetna logo. The Climax Radio and Television Company headquarters was located in Chicago IL. & made radios for several retailers, this one for Walgreens. It has a beautiful "wrap-around" "waterfall" cabinet with nice bright green tuning eye and original backlit dial which shows beautifully when on or off. This is a recent complete electronic restore and plays well across the dial picking up all my local stations and beyond. The speaker, knobs, dial scale as well as grille cloth & chassis appear to be original. It also has most of paper factory sticker on bottom of cabinet. Also still has factory wood back which is nearly always missing. This rare radio is beautifully restored and is a radio ready for play and display for the most discriminating collector! 18"W x 9"H x 8"D.
