Radio only softly hums when turned on, so it will need some work to get it functioning. All of the tubes tested good on my Eico Model 625 tube tester. The chassis is very clean with no evidence of rust or corrosion. The power cord is in good condition, still plyable. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax and the burled walnut front presents quite well. The only minor defect is a small veneer sliver like chip at the top of the radio at the front edge that is difficult to detect. The cabinet is labeled “Superior” on the front and numbered 15870 on the rear. I could not find this radio listed on Radio Museum or Radio Attic’s web sites. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I can determine the maker. Quite unique in that it is a short version of a tombstone radio. Unit stands 10.5″ tall, 12″ wide and 7 deep. Grill cloth has a tiny tear on the lower right and is a bit loose. Both knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator functions properly as well. The bands are selected by a knob in the rear of the radio. Great looking radio to add to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.
