A rare and gorgeous radio from 1947, it has the same chassis as that of the famed Belmont Bakelite “Rabbit” radio 6D111. With very nice veneers and trim, it is a smaller table radio with great sound and reception using six tubes and an internal loop antenna. The cabinet is in excellent condition and retains the original stain, which was rejuvenated to bring out out the features of the wood grain. It was then given six coats of clear lacquer and finally hand waxed to enhance it further. The dial face graphics are crisp and clear and lit just right from behind. The knobs and push buttons are original, as are the grill cloth and back cover. The dial cover and power cord are new replacements. The cabinet has no nicks, missing veneer or scratches. Pads were added to the underside to protect your furniture. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal loop antenna. This very cute and snazzy wooden radio is now completely restored and reliable. Known to be very collectible too, as it is somewhat rare compared to its sister radio the “Rabbit”. And, at 72 years old, it once again looks and sounds sounds like almost new and will last for for many years to come if well maintained. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good working order. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.
