.jpg "Delco R-1126 (1937)") |
If you're looking to get into the Eye Tube club on a budget, consider this nifty Delco R-1126 from 1937. Delco settled on a simple, yet attractive cabinet design, with a large, brightly lit gold dial and the distinctive bronze grille cloth that I matched as best I could. The original finish was very nice on this radio, so I touched it up and overcoated it with a couple of shots of gloss lacquer. I replaced all the caps and resistors and fitted with a full set of high testing tubes for long service life. It even has the original antenna wire still coiled up on the spool. A full alignment produced a pretty good receiver on Broadcast with a very accurate dial. The shortwave only goes to 6 mhz, but works well. The knobs are not original, but resemble the originals and complement the radio nicely. All in all, a fairly swell little radio. Four of these have sold on the Attic topping out at $495 last year. Requires an external antenna. 15"W x 10"H x 8"D. $425.00. (1680173) |
