The all metal chassis is housed in a bronze marbelized ivory colored plaskon case and features a lighted dial and matching ivory knobs. This example has been completely electrically restored to its original specifications. The tubes have all been tested and found to be strong and new electrical components have replaced the old wax and paper out-of-spec parts in the chassis where necessary to assure safe and proper operation. A new polarized power cord was also installed. It is common that these old plaskon radio cases can have small stress cracks on the mid-corners and this one is no exception (see Photo #1 in the left corner). Additionally, there is a repair visible on the very lower right corner (Photos #2, #3 and #5). This radio plays extremely well and has a deep resonant and warm sound through its large baffled speaker. The tuning knob and pointer have been thoroughly cleaned and lubricated and work smoothly. The radio is a good’table’ size at about 11 1/2″ wide 7 1/2″ tall and 7 deep measured at the bottom. The chassis is secured underneath the case by its four wood and rubber feet screwed into the bottom. It is advisable when moving the radio from one location to another that the molded carry hole at the top be used as the radio weighs almost 7 pounds.
