The cabinet is very unique with fluted side panels and art deco style front corner columns. The wood and veneers are in excellent condition and it has a beautiful burled wood top. With a large speaker and tone control, the warm, rich sounds are a real delight. Also having push buttons that are easily adjusted for your local stations, this just-post WWII radio was cutting edge technology for its day. The cabinet retains the original stain, which was cleaned and rejuvenated. The columns and trim were redone with brown mahogany toners. The entire cabinet was then given six coats of clear lacquer and the results are just stunning. The slide rule dial face has crisp, clean graphics and is nicely back lit using two bulbs. The grill cloth is original and was cleaned. One of the knobs is slightly different than the other three, which are originals. The chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced. Tubes and resistors were replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. There is an external antenna lead for short wave. This beautiful radio is a real head turner and then hearing it will really make you realize what a great combination of sight and sound it is. This 72 year old radio, since restored has at least that many more years of life ahead of it. Your children will someday pass it along to your grandchildren and even great grandchildren.
