Tube Radio Vintage

This stunning Silvertone radio has every bit of the style and panache as the famed Ingraham cabinets if not more! Note the beautiful veneers and inlays contrasting, yet accenting one another. Along with the sensuous curved front. Then add in the soft green glow of the magic tuning eye, and t. He result is delightful and very eye catching. It sounds great too, powered by six tubes and using a six foot antenna lead. The radio is also equipped with hi/low tone control for your listening preference. The push buttons all function as designed and you can set them to your local stations. The cabinet retains the original stain, which was rejuvenated to return it to the original appearance. The bottom and top trim were redone with dark walnut toners. The entire cabinet was given six coats of clear lacquer, then hand waxed to further bring out the beauty of the wood grains. The dial face has crisp and clear graphics and is nicely lit from the pilot light. The wooden knobs and bakelite push buttons are original and in excellent condition. The dial cover, grill cloth and power cord are new replacements. There are a few flaws as can be seen in the photos: Upper and lower right front and the upper right side have veneer cracks that have been stabilized. They detract very minimally from the overall appearance of the radio. 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 included antenna wire lead. Built before the start of WWII, this 80 year old radio is now totally restored and ready to bring many more years of enjoyment if well maintained. It is highly collectible and will draw attention and admiration wherever it is displayed and used. It would be wonderful to listen to your favorite radio shows in a darkened room while enjoying the rich sound and soft glow of the lights of this classic. 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.
