Climax G-340 (1938)
(wood tube table radio)

Climax G-340 (1938)

NEW!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.  $129.00. (1790489)

I offer a quantity discount on my radios, so check out my other listings and drop me a line if you're interested in more than one at a time. A Bluetooth/MP3 player 3.5mm cord has been installed at no additional charge when the circuit design allows for another listening option beyond the standard AM broadcasts. You can plug in to the headphone port of your device and enjoy the music of your choice through the radio or unplug for standard AM broadcasts.
