To view our other auctions including additional restored antique radios, grill cloth, and supplies. Here we have one of the last Philco table radios produced prior to the United States entry into WWII. Cabinet: The multi toned walnut cabinet is simply stunning. The transition from the Art Deco era to the streamline era is evident with its stylish curves and modern design. An inset slide rule dial, coupled with the protruding solid wood base, really catches your eye. A large open grill not only looks fantastic but allows for optimal sound from the speaker. Jet black trim and the gold Philco logo finish the cabinet off perfectly. This beauty is sure to be the main attraction in any room of the home or office you choose to display it in. Dial: The slide rule dial is quite attractive. It lights nice and bright with two new dial lamps. It features maroon, gold, and white colors. In addition, there are numerous foreign country and city names for shortwave reference. All letters and numbers are legible and show virtually no signs of wear. The four knobs control the following: on/off & tone, volume, band switch, and tuning. Grill Cloth: The 1930s style grill cloth is a fine reproduction featuring an antique gold color with a herringbone design. Chassis: All tubes in the powerful 7 tube chassis were tested with any weak tubes being replaced. All caps, filters, and resistors were checked and replaced as needed. All brittle or bare wiring was replaced or re-insulated. The chassis has been cleaned, lubed, and re-aligned for optimal performance. The Cabinets Finish and Restoration Process: Our Radio cabinets undergo a vigorous restoration process. Our goal is to maintain the natural beauty of the wood and grain, while providing a deep luster and shine. We achieve this by removing all the old and worn lacquers and stains. We then sand the cabinet with fine grit pads down to the original bare wood. Nicks, chips, and blemishes are filled and/or blended. Any loose veneer is re-secured. We make sure any filler applied or repairs made are blended nicely and do not detract from the beauty of the set unless otherwise noted. New stains and sealers are applied by hand. We continue by using many coats of Mohawk brand lacquers and toners applied in the same manner as when the radio was originally finished in the factory. We use a nitrocellulose piano lacquer which is applied through a professional HVLP turbine spray system in a climate controlled room. Nitrocellulose lacquer is very thin. We also apply very thin coats. This allows the lacquer to seep into the grain and not cover it up. A fine grit wet sanding follows every third coat along with a polishing process and ending with an Oz glaze rub. Many hours of work are put into the radios, but as you can see, the final outcome is a beautiful, natural looking cabinet with gorgeous luster& shine. Our radios are a great piece of history that come to you ready to proudly display, as well as listen to, in any room of the home or office. Dimensions: 15 ½ W x 10 H x 9 ½ D. I sell quality antique radios and describe them accurately, as can be confirmed with my outstanding feedback. My radios are expertly packed using oversized boxes, many layers of bubble wrap, and several inches of packing material surrounding each side of the radio so you can be assured they arrive safely. If your radio arrives and does not work please let us know. We will gladly walk you through the process of troubleshooting to get it started. The tubes, capacitors, resistors, and filters. However, if at any time these parts would happen to fail, we will assist in repairing or replacing the defective part at minimal cost. Finally, in very rare instances, if there is. If that is the case with your country, you assume the risk of any damage or undelivered package. Antique tube radio reception can differ greatly depending on location, length of antenna, and amount of interference in different areas. Playing capability is accurately described based on my location, surroundings, and hooked up to a 12 copper line antenna. The antenna will be included with the sale but I cannot guarantee reception quality in your area. It may differ (better or worse) depending on your location, surroundings, and interference. Antique Radio Electronics, whether restored or un-restored, are by nature hazardous due to their voltage, design and age. Any operation, repairs or other adjustments are done at your own risk.
