Tube Radio Vintage

The original cabinet finish is in great condition with a few minor bumps and bruises that attest to its long life, but the overall appearance is still very good. There is no missing veneer and the finish is in very nice original condition. It sounds good, too, with a replacement speaker. The sensitivity and selectivity are good, using a six foot external antenna (provided). There is a bass/treble control for your listening preference. The ever pleasing green magic eye is bright and shows up well against the black dial face. As with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost detail. The radio was completely disassembled and cleaned. The cabinet was gone over with a very fine steel wool, then rejuvenated to quench and nourish the wood. It was then given three coats of a beeswax/orange oil polish over two weeks to further enhance the beauty of and to protect the wood. The knobs and push buttons are original and polished. The dial face shows some minor wear in one area, but the remainder is crisp and clear and nicely lit from the pilot light. The dial cover is new and crystal clear. The power cord was replaced. As with all radios of this era having tenite materials, the bezels for the dial face and push buttons are in less than good condition- see photos. Felt pads were added to the underside to protect your furniture. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The speaker was replaced. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the six foot. At 80 years old, this rare and handsome restored radio now has many more years of reliable service if properly cared for. It is a must for the collector of 1930′s radios and/or magic eye radios. It will provide an attractive treat for the eyes and ears wherever it is displayed. Dimensions: 16.5x10x7.5. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good working order. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.
