Rare Antique/Vintage 1940s Air Chief Firestone Tube Radio Model# 4-C-6(Parts Or Repair) Radio just makes a loud humming noise. Very common with these old tube radios and will need capacitors changed out along with probably some other things. If your looking at this listing I’m sure your very aware of that. Please see photos and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
It’s an impressive radio, sporting the craftsmanship of Ingraham, from the slotted protruding grill to the inlaid striping on the front and sides of the American Walnut cabinet. An internal loop antenna brings in my local stations to the updated electronics that send them out loud and clear. Somewhere in its life the old cord was replaced. The dial plastic on the classy dial appears to have a small crack or scratch in the middle, which can be seen in the photos. Overall, the cabinet is in great shape, with a few little dings not very visible on the photos. The radio’s size is approx. 12″ W x 8″ H x 7 D. Look over the pictures carefully to make sure the condition of the radio is acceptable to you. They offer a better external description than I could. Please don’t mess with the electronics unless you’re experienced working on vintage radios due to the presence of high voltages. Since this radio is old, I can’t guarantee anything, but FedX has been doing a great job delivering them undamaged. Of course, please let me know immediately if you have a problem. I’d like you to enjoy this radio as much as I have.
With its unique design and exceptional performance, this vintage radio is a great addition to any collection or as a statement piece in any room.
