Motorola 68x 11Q Vintage Bakelite Tube Radio 1949 Art Deco

Comments Off
One of my favorite radios, Motorola 68x 11Q in a pretty maroon color with a late Art Deco design. It lights up and I can pull in a station but pretty weak signal lots of interference. Solid case no cracks chips or damage has a new cord. Please review the pictures carefully as they serve as the best representation of the items condition. All board games are complete unless noted in the description. Please be aware that I do recycle boxes (as long as they are in stable condition) and sometimes bubble wrap. I try to keep my inventory low so be sure check back often for reduced prices.
