What a beauty this art deco radio is. From the multi angled and inlay-ed veneers to the gold dial face and bold speaker bars, it really draws attention. But the new, strong green magic eye tube makes it even more special and makes the radio look so warm and stunning at the same time. The cabinet still has the original stain, which was cleaned and rejuvenated. The trim was done with walnut lacquer toner, then the entire cabinet was given six (6) coats of clear lacquer – just like it was originally. The dial cover, push buttons and knobs are original. The speaker grill cover and power cord are replacements. There are a (very) few dings and nicks commensurate with age as can be seen in the photos, but they are part of its character. The chassis was cleaned and serviced, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced. Tubes and resistors were replaced as needed. The controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal antenna. There is an antenna lead for attaching a longer wire antenna for shortwave reception. Not only does this 79 year old radio look fantastic, it sounds great too, with a high and low tone adjustment for your listening choice. Sitting in a quiet darkened room with the sounds and sights of this charming radio can be very relaxing. With the complete restoration and seven strong tubes, it plays well and will continue to for many years to come.
