THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

A very Art Deco styled (and large!) early Bakelite cabinet houses a sic-tube, AM/SW chassis with an unusual 2W3 rectifier tube mounted atop the power transformer. The band switch is a small knob on the back of the chassis. The cabinet is crack free, however the darkened with age natural finish just did not do the beautiful lines of it justice, so a two-tone caramel and chocolate brown color scheme was adapted. The rich enamel paint has a few minor blemishes, but they don't detract from the overall appeal. It really pops with its stunning multi-color side-lit glass slide rule dial and is sure to be the focal point of the room it's on display in. The chassis has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, a strong tested set of tubes, resistors changed as needed, new line cord. The controls were cleaned and lubricated to make them move smoothly again. The missing dial string was restrung to work correctly after 5 hours of trial and error (no diagram exists!) so it is not recommended to use the mechanical push-button pre-sets as the rapid movement when depressed puts a great strain on the complicated cloth cord and pulley system used to drive the tuner and dial pointer. A long wire external antenna is required for reception. Due to volume control circuitry, my usual 3.5mm aux cord could not be installed on this unit. 11-1/2"W x 9-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D.
