Here we have a very rare 1936 Silver Marshall model K table radio. Manufactured by the mysterious F plant in Chicago, Illinois this beauty features a gorgeous walnut cabinet, brightly lit celluloid dial, grooved inlays, and outstanding performance. The dark walnut cabinet is a real eye catcher. Beautiful wood grain flows throughout the entire set. A waterfall top design reminds you of the Art Deco style that was so popular of the era. The large front grill features three wood louvers with black grooved inlays that match the inlays that flow throughout the front and sides of the cabinet. A colorful celluloid dial and jet black trim finish the cabinet off perfectly. This rare beauty is sure to be the main attraction of any room in the home or office you choose to display it in. The attractive celluloid dial is a real eye catcher. Illuminated by two dial lamps, it lights nice and bright with an array of colors from red and green to black. The artwork features two world globes and a coat of arms shield with what appears to be a radio tower and a c-clamp. All letters, numbers, and pictures on the dial are legible and show little signs of wear. Both knobs are in great shape and control tuning, and on/off and volume. The 1930s style grill cloth is a fine reproduction featuring a. Gold color with an Art Deco geometric design. All tubes in the 5 (including ballast tube) tube chassis were tested with any weak tubes being replaced. All caps, filters, and resistors were checked and replaced as needed. All brittle or bare wiring was replaced or re-insulated. The chassis has been cleaned, lubed, and re-aligned for optimal performance. With the included copper line antenna the radio performs exceptionally well. The Cabinets Finish & Restoration Process. Our Radio cabinets undergo a vigorous restoration process. Our goal is to maintain the natural beauty of the wood and grain, while providing a deep luster and shine. We achieve this by removing all the old and worn lacquers and stains. We then sand the cabinet with fine grit pads down to the original bare wood. Nicks, chips, and blemishes are filled and/or blended. Any loose veneer is re-secured. We make sure any filler applied or repairs made are blended nicely and do not detract from the beauty of the set unless otherwise noted. New stains and sealers are applied by hand. We continue by using many coats of Mohawk brand lacquers and toners applied in the same manner as when the radio was originally finished in the factory. We use a nitrocellulose piano lacquer which is applied through a professional HVLP turbine spray system in a climate controlled room. Nitrocellulose lacquer is very thin. We also apply very thin coats. This allows the lacquer to seep into the grain and not cover it up. A fine grit wet sanding follows every third coat along with a polishing process and ending with an Oz glaze rub. Many hours of work are put into the radios, but as you can see, the final outcome is a beautiful, natural looking cabinet with gorgeous luster& shine. Our radios are a great piece of history that come to you ready to proudly display, as well as listen to, in any room of the home or office. 11 1/2W x 11 3/4H x 6 1/2D.
