The case is very attractive and in excellent shape – very deco. This is a working radio ready to play, display and enjoy – the sound is very good with no hum. This radio likes to play Benny Goodman music. As with all my radios it is electrically sound – the tubes are strong and all of the original wax/paper capacitors have been replaced and the cord has been replaced with a polarized plug. Featuring super 1940′s Art Deco styling with’Rainbow Grille’ and Stair-step walls, Rounded Corners, white Propeller Dial Pointer. I believe that It has been painted grey sometime in the past and it’s a very good job, the knobs are original. It also has a working pilot light and the original back. This radio is in great shape for its age, the case is perfect. The measurements are: 10.5″ across, 6.5″ high and 6′ in width. This radio will give years of good service. Every vintage tube radio I sell has been thoroughly serviced – tubes tested, components checked and then the unit is lubricated and cleaned inside and out. The work performed can be seen in the pictures of the chassis and/or found in the radio description.

Vintage 1947 Northern Electric Model 5000 “Baby Champ” Waterfall /Rainbow Radio. Canadian radio with a beautiful shiny brown finish to it. The radio has been stored for a few years. I wiped it off before I took the pictures, but did not shine or buff it in any way. It has a beautiful pattina. The last two pictures I took when the radio was on. The tubes light up and it started to play shortly after being plugged in. The stations come in clear. The volume increased as it should when the on/off/volume knob was turned. The clarity of the radio was good. No distortion, the stations came in clearly and alot of stations came in – near and distant. Only detractor is a crack that starts at the top right of the tuning dial and crosses over to the right side panel. I took a close up picture of the area. The actual dial lens has some scratches also. The dial pointer is reiminiscent of an airplane propellor. The radio is quite attractive due to the front design that is either nicknamed Rainbow, or Waterfall. Dimensions: 10.6″ x 6.3″ x 5.9. Weight of the radio before packing is 6 1/4 lbs. Radio will be packed well to arrive at your destination safely. Thank you for looking. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″.
