This gorgeous radio is the Mantola R-453 manufactured in 1940. Mantola was the brand name of the radios which B. My research indicates that this radio was manufactured by Continental Radio and Television, later known as Admiral. This is a larger table radio at 16″W x 10″H x 8D. It is a six-tube set with a transformer. The cabinet was stripped and lacquered with three coats and turned out fantastic. It looks just like it did when it was manufactured with a beautiful walnut shade with black trim. All of the capacitors and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. New back and a new polycarbonate dial cover. Just a gorgeous example of radio history. Please look at the photos they are the most important part of the description. Please look at my other radios for sale and my 100% positive reviews.

Up for your consideration is this Very Nice vintage & Wonderful looking B. The Model number on this radio is Unknown. This radio was produced in the 1940′s era. This was an fairly popular radio when it was introduced in 1940′s & still is by today’s standards. The Wood cabinet on this beauty is Wonderful looking that is in nice condition “Not Perfect” with a few small minor imperfections. The Marbled Bakelite/plastic louvered speaker grill adds a nice touch to the overall design of the cabinet. The finish looks Nice & the Grain in the wood is looking well to say the least. This cabinet has been cleaned & re-polished which sill retains it a nice low luster sheen or shine. I have taken many pictures of this nice looking radio & all pictures can be supersized so you may get a good view at this Nice looking & Good working radio.

Sized of this Fabulous Gem is 12-3/4″ Long, 6-1/4″ Wide/Deep & 8-1/2 High including the handle. This is a vintage radio & must be handled & cared for & treated in this manor & not like a modern day boombox. Tube radio technology “unlike modern day solid state radios” can have interference/noise in the sound quality, caused by kitchen appliances, computer monitors, flat screen TV’S, florescent lights, washing machines, high power wires above your home, etc… So where you position/place this radio in your home can make a huge difference & the direction/position it is set in. A lot of tube radios are directional meaning you “may” have to turn the radio one way or the other to receive the best reception. Tube radio usually take 30 to 45 seconds after they have been turned/powered ON before they will start playing as the tubes have to warm up. I package very well for a safe arrival. If you have any questions please ask & I will promptly answer & as best as I can. Please ask questions before the end of the sale & not after. Thanks for looking I appreciate it.

Goodrich dealers is in fantastic original condition. The radio does play well with it’s original electronics. The original electrolytic capacitors have been replaced but it was done a long time ago. The power cord is new, I spliced it to the original power cord leads with wire nuts for safety. Please keep in mind that although this radio does play well all day long, it’s electronics may need and should be updated for the radio to be in optimal working condition. The speaker cone is perfect, no tears, holes or repairs as is the original speaker grill cloth. The cabinet is solid with no structural damage. The original finish is very nice with only a few blemishes here and there. The wonderful large round and colorful airplane dial looks great and even better than that at night in a darkened room.
