The baby boom was in full swing the year this radio was made and lots of new and exciting things were taking place in the USA. FM was fairly recent and nowhere near as popular as it is today. This radio embodies those times with bold and strong styling of the MCM period. The plastic looks like the old Bakelite, but is lighter and leaving the old technology behind. It sounds great too, with seven tubes for exceptional sensitivity and selectivity using the internal loop antenna. It also has high/low tone control for your listening preference, providing a rich and mellow sound through the center mount speaker. With a simple color combination of the dark walnut/swirled burgundy cabinet against the brass controls and accents, it is a very handsome radio. As with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet was completely cleaned, then polished to a gleaming smooth finish. There are no cracks or blemishes on it. The brass accents and knobs were polished, as was the dial pointer. The back cover is original and in excellent condition. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The trouble prone selenium rectifier was replaced with a modern diode. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal loop antenna. At 67 years old, this radio may be like the one you listened to when growing up. Since being restored, it will continue to provide many more years of listening pleasure if well cared for. It is a standout radio and a must for a collector.
