This high quality and colorful radio is rare in the excellent condition this one is. With a very shiny dark walnut Bakelite cabinet contrasted with a butterscotch grill and butter/caramel original knobs, it really pops with attention getting beauty. Built just after WWII ended, it speaks to new and good times in the USA. Having clean and crisp lines, it has a sleek look about it that seems to show confidence. The cabinet was cleaned and polished. There are no nicks, cracks or dings to the finish. The dial face has a unique lighted “V” style slide rule pointer. The chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced. Tubes, resistors and other components 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 antennas. This is a very good quality six tube radio with attention to detail during the design and manufacturing process. With the restoration done, it should give another 72 years of listening and visual pleasure. It is one that collectors desire, as the distinct color combination really makes it stand out among the other Bakelite radios of 1946. Dimensions: 11.5×7.5×6.5.
