This gorgeous radio is the Mantola R-453 manufactured in 1940. Mantola was the brand name of the radios which B. My research indicates that this radio was manufactured by Continental Radio and Television, later known as Admiral. This is a larger table radio at 16″W x 10″H x 8D. It is a six-tube set with a transformer. The cabinet was stripped and lacquered with three coats and turned out fantastic. It looks just like it did when it was manufactured with a beautiful walnut shade with black trim. All of the capacitors and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. New back and a new polycarbonate dial cover. Just a gorgeous example of radio history. Please look at the photos they are the most important part of the description. Please look at my other radios for sale and my 100% positive reviews.
