With bold new lines and style, it was a great departure from those of the previous decade. A reddish burgundy, it has been repainted to match the original color that had faded. A very good quality Motorola radio with five tubes and an internal loop antenna, it sounds great too. It has the original knobs which were polished. The speaker grill and cabinet have been repainted as stated above. There are a few minor flaws that are barely discernible. The polished dial face is clear and has crisp graphics. 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 the internal loop antenna. This 67 year old radio really pops with the bold color combination not seen too much in earlier radios. Now completely restored, it is very desirable for the collector and those with discerning taste for the 1950′s retro look. And, it will provide another 67 years of reliable pleasure if properly maintained. Dimensions: 13.5×6.5×6.5. 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.
