Vintage Philco JR Model 80 Cathedral Tube Radio Looks Great and Works

This is a model 80. The radio has been tested and it does work (please read explanation below). A great addition to your vintage radio collection. About 13 3/4 tall, 12 wide (at base), and the depth is 8. The radio works with the proper antenna. The cabinet is solid and looks good. Looks like the finish is all original – a couple of minor waves in the veneer but no missing pieces , splits or chips. A EXCELLENT piece for the vintage radio collector! Makes a super display. The radios I sell are the old tube type sets. Usually radios of this age need some repair before they can work really well. The paper capacitors and electrolytic capacitors deteriorate with age, and often need to be replaced. It’s not at all uncommon for the radio to be working to some extent when plugged in for the first time, but it will likely perform much better after replacing the paper and electrolytic capacitors. When it is stated that they work this means they power up, the dial light lights if so equipped and stations can be heard. Reception may not be strong and clear on all stations. Reception is highly dependent on location, local interference, type of antenna being used and more. Tubes, capacitors and other components dry out and degrade because of age and heating and cooling cycles. Just because a set works today does not mean it will work tomorrow.
