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 wood cabinet is in exceptional condition without any cracks, delamination of veneers, or patch-jobs. The cabinet has been refinished in traditional manner using linseed oil varnish to bring out the texture of the veneers and to impart a soft shine. Cabinet measures: 13.5″ x 7″ x 8high. Distinctive speaker grille refinished with oil based ivory enamel; leveled out with nice gloss. The original patterned station dial matches the speaker cloth. The ivory numbers and Saturn dial pointer match the detailing on the grille.

A thorough, clean job. Check out the photos. The electronics inside the chassis have been totally overhauled. This radio has physical presence which is not fully appreciated in photographs. This radio uses 5 tubes. All 5 tubes are New Old Stock and the dial light bulb is new and rated at 3000 hours. The standard loop antenna is attached to the inside of the wood cabinet and not on the radio back. This radio has great fidelity and plays with warmth & depth. Following the restoration, all radio circuits were re-tuned to their specification using instrumentation. The end result is an old fashioned wood radio set giving superb reception across the dial.
