Vintage GE A-53 Tombstone AM/SW Radio (1935) BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED
vintage
Comments Off
Welcome to a state of the art radio from 1935, and it’s a real beauty now that it is restored. A medium sized tombstone, it has lots of charm and warm appeal. The burl wood front is just gorgeous and really jumps out at you. Using the provided 8 foot antenna lead, it has good selectivity and sensitivity. Just imagine all of the stories, music and news of the world this old radio broadcast so many years ago! It has a few bruises, which are normal for its age, but no missing or damaged veneer and is in overall excellent condition. As with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet retains the original stain, which has been rejuvenated and nourished. The bottom trim was redone with dark walnut toner, which perfectly matches the original knobs. The entire cabinet was then given six coats of high quality clear lacquer to match the original finish as close as possible. It was then waxed with a quality beeswax/orange oil polish to further enhance and protect the finish. There are a few minor bruises that are often part of a radios life and can be seen in the photos. The scroll dial is in excellent condition, with crisp graphics that are nicely lit by the pilot light. The Bakelite knobs and the escutcheon were polished. The period correct grill cloth is a new replacement. The power cord was replaced. Felt pads were added 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 tested and 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 external antenna wire. Rare to find in this great of condition, it is a must for a collector and those with a eye for the classic style and functionality that is embodied by this radio. At 84 years old, this completely restored radio will once again provide reliable service for many more years if well cared for. 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.
