Kadette 77 (1936)
(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

Kadette 77 (1936)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Manufactured by International Radio Corporation of Ann Arbor, MI, this somewhat scarce (only the second example to be offered on Radio Attic in over 15 years), simple five-tube plus ballast Kadette has a uniquely designed cabinet, utilizing slots as opposed to lattice work for its grille. The wood cabinet finish has been refinished using various toners and the whole cabinet was topped with a light coat of clear enamel to maintain sheen and durability. The AM/short wave chassis has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, a strong tested set of tubes, new line cord. The controls were cleaned and lubricated to make them move smoothly again. Requires its long wire to be attached to an external antenna source to receive stations. This is one of those circuits where the antenna is connected directly to the volume control, so the louder you turn the volume, the stronger the stations come in. There is no AVC, so you have to adjust the volume as you tune. As such, my standard add-on 3.5mm cord could not be installed on this unit. 12-1/2"W x 12-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D.
