General Television/Climax "Emerald 1st Version" (1937)
(wood tube table radio)

General Television/Climax "Emerald 1st Version" (1937)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

You are looking at one of the rarest sets to ever grace Radio Attic. Manufactured in 1937 by General Television who merged with the Climax Radio Corporation three years earlier, this radio's pristine cabinet, made of butt cut walnut veneers, is clearly one of the edgiest ever made. Climax/General Television went all out in 1937 with this extreme Art Deco "Emerald" 1st version, the only one made with an oval dial and gold escutcheon. The cabinet has been beautifully refinished, the chassis has been restored, all caps and weak tubes have been replaced, even the dial marker has been hand polished and detailed. Having been completely restored inside and out, it is an excellent example of this truly rare radio classic that is now one of my best players that picks up my local stations across the entire AM dial extremely loud and clear. The additional mini-jack now also allows you to stream your favorite tunes from your phone or other device. Needless to say, this radio would make a great addition to any serious collection. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal smoke-free collection. About 18"W x 8-1/2"H x 9"D.
