If you are looking for a restored 1960′s era tube radio that can be played as often as you like and for as long as you like, please read on. This radio set has been restored to it’s original condition and is ready to bring another lifetime’s listening pleasure to it’s proud new owner. You will be satisfied with this radio set because no detail inside OR outside has been overlooked in order to deliver both “dependable performance” and appealing cabinetry. Every effort has been made to offer a practically new radio, performing as it did originally, and to be maintenance free for quite some time. The ivory polystyrene cabinet is in excellent condition without any cracks and has been thoroughly cleaned inside & out and hand polished to restore it’s original showroom finish. In addition, the brass accent dial knobs have been polished and overlacquered to prevent future tarnishing. The original reflective front grille from 1963 is just spectacular. This model measures 12″ X 4″ X 5high. Also, the electrical cord has been replaced with a new polarized cord for safety. A thorough clean job. Check out all the photos. The electronics inside the chassis have been totally overhauled. This radio uses 6 tubes. All 6 tubes installed in the radio are “New Old Stock”. Included in this sale will be an extra set of NOS tubes. So, your go-to-go for some time to come. Please note: it is normal for the inside of vacuum tubes to appear burnt or mirrored. The vacuum inside a tube is achieved by burning metal inside the enclosed glass bulb which consumes the atmosphere inside the glass envelope thus creating a vacuum. This appearance is normal and not an indication of a defect. Following the restoration, all radio circuits were re-tuned to their specification using instrumentation. The realignment of radio circuits after replacing key components is especially critical on FM. Without correctly balancing this circuit, FM will play with various levels of sound distortion. Furthermore, the balancing circuit can only be performed using instrumentation. Consequently, moving the radio from side to side will change the reception. This is normal and not a defect. I have attached a 4 foot single wire antenna for FM reception. I happen to live within the greater NYC Metro Broadcasting area where radio signals are very strong. Depending on your geographic area, your experience could be different. Should you require better reception on FM, as part of this sale, I will enclose a brand new di-pole indoor antenna for you to use instead of the single wire coming with this radio. Thoroughly bench tested, this vintage BULOVA radio set is ready for it’s new home. I will double box using new cartons so that your new radio arrives undamaged in transit.
