There might be a mistake. I ad nothing extra.. This is for what I believe is a rare very early 611 (not to be confused with a 37-611) from 1935-36. Great sleek art deco bullet design. The sticker on the back with the model # is mostly missing but the schematic is there (see pic) and it says 611. It has the older style oval dial window. I was not able to find another of these even after extensive research. About 300 other big bullets but not this model anywhere. I obtained this and a bunch of other same era radio’s from an estate of a long time collector. I’m listing the others too. I powered this up and I was glad to hear that I got nice clear sound with no hum. Sounded pretty good actually. With no antenna I didn’t even try the other channels. Knobs are all in good shape and all move freely. Got a really big difference in sound with the tone control. Cosmetically I’ll let the pics speak for themselves. Has some finish issues but nothing really deep , cracks or breaks. It would be a nice one to re-finish. Grill cloth has some stains. Its just as I got it and appears to be all original. Measures : 20long x 11 high x 8 1/4 deep. Weighs 19lb w/o packaging. Probably about 300 to 400 pieces of vintage electronics. I generally have a variety of older electronics listed. I like to pack some of my electronics using hard packing/insulation styrofoam. It sometimes results in little foam balls in the box and on the item. Check out my other items. Be sure to add me to your favorites list. Please note that I sell mostly used vintage items that might have wear consistent with their age. Item MAY have come from a home where someone smokes. Since most of my auctions end at night it will usually be sent the next morning. I’m honest and easy to deal with. I consider myself an honest person and easy to deal with.
