Sparton Wooden Table Top Vintage Radio. There are four knobs for tuning. The on/offknob clicks on and the unit powers on. I’m not sure if the tuning knobs areoriginal. I got loud hum and noise from speaker but couldn’t tune in a stationbut the tuning knob does move but not perfectly. It needs to be adjusted. There’ssome clear plastic pieces holding the face plate on. I’m not sure if that isthe way the radio came or if someone added it on. The capacitors on these old radios go bad andhave to be replaced to work properly. There also could be a problem with theantenna but I’m not sure. The case has some minor scratches, discolorations, and wear to the finish as you can see but no cracks. This is anitem for “PARTS OR POSSIBLE REPAIR”.

The FM reception seems to be a bit weak, though the local radio station was really clear. I would suppose it is just a weak old IF tube that needs replacing & it will receive better. Besides that, it just needs a new dial cord. This is an 8-tube set, which indicates it was a pretty high quality radio & cosmetically, it seems to be in very good shape. Though it’s managed to accumulate some scratches’n such over the years, it’s probably one of the best looking original condition ones I’ve come across. You can find replacement tubes online if needed & you can easily Google a tube’s model (usually 4 or 5 characters printed on the glass) in order to find the correct ones. This radio appears to have never had a back cover. Many of them were designed in this way. You may appreciate this, as the smell is heavenly. IMPORTANT: I highly, HIGHLY recommend you do NOT run any antique radio unattended for basically any period of time & strongly suggest adding a fuse into the cord. These things were fire-starters & even the added fuse might not be enough to make it 100% safe. This goes for any antique radio. Leave them unplugged when not enjoying. They rarely short outright, so they won’t trip breakers or outlet strip safety devices & just slowly heat up internal parts and set things on fire. The convenience isn’t worth the risk. Also, if it ever suddenly starts making a loud hum- shut it off to prevent damage to other components & get it serviced. Those capacitors could go at any time but it’s not the end of the world. A re-cap from any honest repair person should be fairly cheap. This radio’s transformer hums a bit when first turned on, that is separate and is not an issue. Things I wish I’d known before I bought my first antique radio Thanks for taking a look & feel free to send an offer.
