Tube Radio Vintage

The model number is on this radio is100 Serial Number of B -192828. This was an fairly popular radio when it was introduced in 1930′s & still is by today’s standards. You do not see a lot of these radios for sale & especially in this nice of condition. The Wood cabinet on this beauty is in Stunning looking condition to say the least. The grain in the wood is Very Pleasing to the eyes. This cabinet has been cleaned & re-polished which sill retains it’s original sheen or shine. I have taken many pictures of this nice looking & all pictures can be supersized so you may get a good view at this Nice looking & Good working radio. The large round glass dial scale Lens cover is Clean & Clear with No Cracks. The 3 brown Wood control knobs. Control knobs are original & in good looking & working condition. The Solid Wood back panel is in Great condition. There is a long Black antenna wire attached & must be stretch for reception. This Long Black wire must be stretched out in One Direction or another UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to Receive the best Signal Reception. The chassis is in good condition & it is a 6-tube unit with 3-controls & all 3 controls have been lubricated & are in good working condition. The tube line up is 1-6A7, 1-6C6, 1-6D6, 1-75, 1-25Z5 & 1-43. The chassis has had all new electrolytic capacitor/filters installed & all wax/paper capacitors were replaced. The cloth electric cord is in good condition. This radio has been restored to Good working condition. I BELIEVE THE ELECTRIC CORD IS A LINE RESISTANCE ELECTRIC CORD THAT GETS FAIRLY WARM TO HOT WHEN USING THIS RADIO. THIS LINE RESISTANCE CORD BACK IN THE DAY WAS CALLED/NICKED NAMED THE (CURTAIN BURNER) AS IT MAY HAVE CAUSED CURTAIN FIRES. The Amateur (Police) Band on this radio is OBSOLETE but it will picks up a few faint stations better in the evening hours. This Detrola would make an Excellent addition to your radio collection or as a stand alone radio as it’s power & beauty will surely be the talk of the room by all whom enter. Sized of this Fabulous Gem is 14″ Long, 7-1/2″ Wide/Deep & 10 High & 15 pounds Unpackaged. This is a vintage radio & must be handled & cared for & treated in this manor & not like a modern day boombox. Tube radio technology “unlike modern day solid state radios” can have interference/noise in the sound quality, caused by kitchen appliances, computer monitors, flat screen TV’S, florescent lights, washing machines, high power wires above your home, etc… So where you position/place this radio in your home can make a huge difference & the direction/position it is set in. A lot of tube radios are directional meaning you “may” have to turn the radio one way or the other to receive the best reception. Tube radio usually take 30 to 45 seconds after they have been turned/powered ON before they will start playing as the tubes have to warm up. I package very well for a safe arrival. If you have any questions please ask & I will promptly answer & as best as I can. Please ask questions before the end of the sale & not after. Thanks for looking I appreciate it.
