Clinton 152 (1936)
(wood tube table radio)

Clinton 152 (1936)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

First time on Radio Attic for this nifty little basic four-tube + ballast TRF set that receives both AM and the now defunct Police band, all housed in a compact cabinet. All electrolytic and paper caps have been replaced, tubes tested strong, controls were cleaned and lubricated. It plays as well, requiring the long wire antenna to be extended for maximum reception. Cabinet was refinished by previous owner not to my usual standards but still displays well. These "Plant A Chicago" budget sets had very thin veneer, and you only get one shot at refinishing before you start losing veneer. What is does have is a truly amazing, colorful dial that is sure to impress in a dimly lit room! 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. 10"W x 7"H x 6"D.
