Tube Radio Vintage

Not too big and not too small, this original finish Crosley tombstone is just right! It must have been a cherished and well taken care of household extravagance for the original owners, as the condition is excellent. Considering it was made in the middle of the Great Depression, it was a valuable treat and important for bringing the news, stories and music of the day to someone’s home. Now electronically restored, it sounds very good too, with the rich and mellow tones found on quality tube radios. With five tubes and an eight foot external wire antenna (provided), it has remarkable sensitivity and selectivity. It also has a high/low tone control for your listening preference. As with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet was completely disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. It was given two coats of a high quality beeswax/orange oil polish/wax to bring out the beauty and protect the wood. There is no damage at all to the finish, and it is a wonderful and charming radio to see. It is as smooth as a baby’s bottom! The trim has been redone with dark walnut toners. The dial face has crisp and clear graphics and the glass cover is crystal clear. The original knobs were polished. It has the original grill cloth in excellent condition. The power cord has been replaced. 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 an eight foot wire antenna. Find the history of Powel Crosley, who was dubbed “the Henry Ford of Radio” very interesting. At the ripe old age of 84, this. Radio is very desirable. Finding one in this good of condition is very rare. And, now that it is electronically restored it will continue to entertain for many years to come if well cared for. Dimensions: 11.5×10.25×7.5. 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.
