Offered here is a beautiful antique Stewart Warner Magic Dial tube radio, likely dating from the 1930s to 1950s. 17 ¾” W x 11 ½” H x 9 ½ D. Condition: This radio is untested due to a frayed power cord, which is visibly deteriorated in multiple places. Because of that, it has not been plugged in for safety reasons. Components: You can see several internal components and tubes through the back. One visible tube is a Sylvania 6F6G, marked with D9M, and has what appears to be its original paper label – consistent with the period. Back Tag: A slightly bent metal tag on the back reads Genuine Stewart Warner Craft Built Cabinet. Knobs: All four original front knobs are present, which is rare for a radio of this era. Overall: This is a striking display piece in its original, unrestored state, and would make an excellent restoration project for a collector or vintage electronics enthusiast. Please review all photos for detailed condition and specifics. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Unmolested ORIGINAL ZENITH BLACK DIAL RADIO from local family estate. I have provided pics from every angle and they can be enlarged as well. Untested because of what I found below….. Question: I just acquired an antique radio. I don’t know if it works or not. Can I plug it in and turn it on? Plug in and turn on an old, unrestored radio until it has been thoroughly checked for signs of trouble. This includes, but is not necessary limited to. Replacing the electrolytic (filter) condensers. Examining the underside of the chassis, paying close attention to the bottom of the power transformer. Look for any signs of a waxy substance leaking from the transformer. If you see it, the transformer has overheated at some time and may no longer function properly (if at all).
