This is just a really nice little tabletop radio that displays very well. Manufactured by Jewel in the early 1950′s – it is a model 956. The case is very attractive and in excellent shape, the case is made from urea, an early form of plastic. This is a working radio ready to play, display and enjoy – the sound is very good with no hum. It plays very well. As with all my radios it is electrically sound – the tubes are strong and all of the old paper capacitors have been replaced and the new cord has a polarized plug. Featuring: a cream urea case, that is in excellent condition, a big unique pivot dial with red numbers and gold back; a crisscross grill; original back, loupe antenna and knobs. This radio is in great shape for its age, the bakelite case is perfect – no chips, scratches or dings. The approximate measurements are: 9.5″ across, 5″ high and 5 width. This radio will give years of good service. Every vintage tube radio I sell has been thoroughly serviced – tubes tested, components checked and then the unit is lubricated and cleaned inside and out. The work performed can be seen in the pictures of the chassis and/or found in the radio description.
