THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here's a Motorola Atomic designed radio from 1953 in a beautiful blue/gray Bakelite case. Mid-Century at its best. It seems to be a collector's favorite. This atomic era radio is also affectionately referred to as Motorola's "dashboard" model or as some folks call it "Jetson." The cabinet retains a beautiful glossy factory gray paint (hard color to find) with only light normal wear, but does have a tight hairline on right end (see last pic) & doesn't affect the display, but it is there & priced accordingly. The knobs, dial, perfect back, "brights," etc. are all original. Great looking, clear slide-rule dial. Just an outstanding specimen. The yellow metal mesh grille is in excellent condition with no dents, dings, rust, or warping + the Motorola badge in the center of the grille. Surprisingly, this model was not designed without a tuning dial light. This model was also offered in red, blue, green and black. This set is playing very well and picking up all my local AM stations & beyond without any problem. Very clean, restored chassis. This classic early fifties five-tube radio will be a standout in any collection. You seldom see this stylish set for sale. Priced to sell fast. About 11-1/2"W (knob-to-knob, whereas only 8-1/4" across the top) x 6-1/2"H x 7"D.
