And, with seven tubes and a six inch speaker, it sounds great too, with tone control for your listening preference and a bright green “Magic Eye” tuning indicator. Add to that the unique roll tuning dial and adjustable preset tuning buttons, and you have a very high end radio for the times that still has charm and distinction. A highly collectible radio, it will enhance any location in your home or office. The cabinet was disassembled, cleaned, rejuvenated and given two coats of quality beeswax/orange oil polish to nurture and bring out the beauty of the woods. The knobs, dial face and buttons are original. The dial is nicely back. Lit by two pilot bulbs. The grill cloth has been replaced, as was the power cord, using the original plug. The escutcheon has some minor warping, which is very common among radios of this era, and has a small piece missing from the upper left side. The cabinet has a few minor dings as can be seen in the photos. Felt pads were added to the underside to protect your furniture. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced. Tubes and resistors were replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using a four foot wire antenna lead. Just imagine the news stories, music and other entertainment this lovely radio has broadcast over the past 80 years. Now restored, it now has many more years of quality sound and visual delight if well cared for. Dimensions: 16×14.5×9.5 It will be very well packaged to arrive safely to you! Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good working order. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.
