THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Another first-time example on Radio Attic, this six-tube AM only chassis is surrounded in mystery. For one, there is no make or model number anywhere on the radio, outside of a number 340 rubber stamped on the electrolytic can. With much detective work, I found the set was more than likely a "Plant A" set manufactured by Climax in Chicago. I saw a similar set that was a model G-140, so, based on the stamped no. 340 on mine I'm going to call it a G-340. With no other examples to go by, this is as close as I can get. It is a strange chassis, basically a four tube TRF with not one but two ballast tubes, bringing the tube count up to six, which looks more impressive than four. It does have one deluxe feature, a two-position tone control. Being a TRF, utilizing primitive early 1920's technology, it requires an external antenna to receive even strong local stations. No AVC. It has been totally refinished using spray toners and topped off with a light spray of clear enamel for durability. Comes with a set of tubes that tested strong, all new paper and filter capacitors, out of tolerance resistors replaced, and a new line cord. Because of the primitive TRF circuitry, my standard add-on 3.5mm cord could not be installed on this unit. 13-1/2"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D.
