Manufactured by the Automatic Radio Manufacturing Co. Of Boston, MA, famous for the “Tom Thumb” series of radios. The “Tom Thumb” name fits perfectly, as radios made by the company are some of the smallest radios ever made. This vertical portable set is a classic example. It has a wooden case covered in imitation reptile leatherette with brown tenite trim. The chassis is a four-tuber and can be operated on AC or battery power. All the tubes and capacitors have been changed. While this radio is not rare – it is still very difficult to find one in good condition – as the case is in good used condition, with no major cosmetic flaws. The leather handle on the top is in good condition, and the front and back hinges work fine. This model has an on/off. All the knobs are original and the cord is hidden inside the door.
