THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This unusual radio comes with a story. The original purchaser of this radio lived in a mansion on the New Jersey Coast and raced yachts. I was given a picture of the mansion as well as the story when I acquired the radio. The radio is a five-tube TRF radio with two bands, AM and Shortwave. The shortwave band covered Police and possibly early television broadcasts. The radio is complete restored. Blake Dietze, a local engineer, did the chassis restoration. All capacitors were replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were all checked and replaced where necessary. The radio has some unique features worth mentioning. The on/off switch is on the chassis hidden from view. The radio turns on when you raise the lid, and turns off when the lid is lowered. There is a small brass knob on the face of the radio. It serves as the band switch, so lowered it's the AM Band and raised it's the Short Wave Band. I will include a low power AM Transmitter with the set. The circuitry on this radio would allow a mini-jack, but the volume and quality of the sound would be compromised, and would probably require a pre-amp to make the device useful. The AM transmitter requires no modification to the set, and allows all the listening options you would get with a mini-jack. The pictures don't lie, the cabinet is as beautiful as it looks, and would look stunning in any collection! 15"W x 11"H x 9"D.
