Arvin Bakelite Model 58 Vintage Collectors AM 1939/1940s Era Tube Radio Working

1939 Arvin radio model 602/603 chassis model 58. Distinctive arch top makes it unique & coveted by collectors. The glossy mottled brown/black Bakelite will need a polish. There are some minor surface scratches still that are apparent at certain camera angles – it’s old : it’s beautiful and it works. I have sanded and polished off the oxidation 98% restored to its original Bakelite beautiful color. The Arvin (silver) logo on top which is like a silk screen on a tube did not make it through the polishing. The speaker is impressive for the age and gets pretty loud. The original lighted dial scale, pointer and amber tinted dial cover are in great condition as well. Comes with original hard board back in vintage condition. As well as the schematic. An eye catching centerpiece for any collection or decor! 11″W x 8″H x 6D. This is a vintage radio! It will be packed with utmost care.

The radio needs a new AC power cord as the original cord had become brittle and fallen off. Cord will be included. The “rich rosewood” plastic cabinet looks REALLY nice the color really pops, especially as the backdrop for the gold & red trimmed dial and knobs. There are a few minor imperfections like you might expect on a piece from this era. This radio should be a great candidate for a full restoration. I do not have the proper equipment to fully test the radio/tubes. Please preview all of the pictures as they will best help show the cosmetic condition. Also, please ask any & all questions ahead of time. The item “VTG (1950) Arvin 480-TFM AM/FM Tube Radio Receiver” is in sale since Wednesday, April 22, 2020.
