Plymold-Mectron MR-1 (1947)
(wood tube table radio)
|
Today in my attic is an amazing and rare Plymold-Mectron MR1. The Plymold-Mectron brand was a joint effort between a furniture company "Plymold" (a furniture and cabinet company specializing in heated and bent/molded plywood products), and a radio company "Mectron" (Mectron Electronics Corporation Lawrence, MA) and was only made for one year, 1947. The cabinet is a combination of molded plywood and sculptured solid wood corners. The front pilasters are molded plywood with paper-like applique photo veneer. The fronts are almost always damaged in some way, but these are the nicest I have ever seen. It has been nominally refinished and clear coated and presents well. It is a five-tube (AA5) superhet design and picks up stations well with the internal antenna. An aux short wire antenna is also attached. The chassis is rebuilt as per my shop info section. A new grille cloth has been installed. This radio also as an added Aux input for listening versatility. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers. This specific radio has been in my collection for over 20 years. I have seen four or five over the years, but none in as good an aesthetic condition as this one. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers. Please see my shop info for shipping and payment options. 12"W x 9"H x 8"D and it weighs 6lbs. 14oz prior to packaging. Thanks for looking. $300.00. (1870033)
