Tube Radio Vintage

Looking like a treasured antique jewelry box when the doors are closed, this unique and rare radio is a charming piece of craftsmanship and style. From the wonderful curves on the front and sides, to the tambour looking doors, this solid wood radio has the original finish that is in overall excellent condition, especially given its age. The wood back cover looks as if it is brand new. And, it sounds great too, using the internal loop antenna. It has good selectivity and sensitivity using five tubes. It also has an RCA style input, enabling it to play music, etc. From your modern device using an adapter cable. Note the label inside front that says ” Equipped for Television”, regarding the audio input. The flat top certainly lends itself and invites the placement of a photo or other item. As with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The radio was completely disassembled and cleaned. The original finish was rejuvenated and nourished to bring it back to life. It was then given three coats of a high quality wax/polish over the course of a week to further enhance and protect the finish. The results are stunningly beautiful. There are very few blemishes as can be seen in the photos – really remarkable. The dial face/cover is in excellent condition with crisp and clear graphics that are softly back lighted. The polished knobs are original, as is the excellent condition grill cloth. The brass outer knobs were polished, then clear coated. Felt pads were added to the bottom 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 internal loop antenna. Very much sought after and collectible, this 80 year old original finish radio is close to museum quality. They come up for sale rarely, especially in this condition. Now that is completely restored. It will continue to bring safe and reliable enjoyment 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.
