 THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| Here's one you don't see every day. Check out this unique and exotic Gloritone Apex 27 cathedral manufactured in 1932 by United States Radio and Television Corp of Chicago. For a 1930s depression era set they spared no expense on the exotic and unusual veneer design on the front. Chassis is a five-tube TRF and is very minimal, as was customary in keeping with the tight budgets of depression era radios. Note the strange upside down tube orientation and dial scaled from 0 to 100 instead of marking it with actual frequency units. I spent a lot if extra time stuffing the original caps with new ones to maintain originality. All caps and resistors replaced and full alignment. I had to repair several chips in the front veneer, and the knob is not original. I went overboard with 15 coats of lacquer to give it a nice, slick finish. This will make a real eye popper in your collection and you are not likely to see another like it. |
