These sets came in catalin and wood but the wood version seems to be hardest to find. These radios are well known for their stylish Art Deco design that perfectly reflect the era. If you know radios, youll know that these sets are highly sought after and keep climbing in price. This radio is entirely useable and displays beautifully. Cabinet looks to have been refinished with replacement of grill cloth and decal. The knobs are all present with their felt washers. That said, as is the case in most 80 year old radios, it has some cons. The original field coil speaker has been replaced with a permanent magnet type and the field coil mounted to the replacement speakers frame. It has a slight garble at low volumes that straightens out when the volume is increased. The mounting holes on the cabinets bottom have sustained some damage in the past which cant be seen unless you remove the two mounting screws. It looks to have been recapped and a number of resistors replaced. If I had performed the work, it would have been a bit tidier. Either way, they dont come around often so heres your chance to own a rare gem. It installs simply with two screws and a detailed tube layout will be included.
