This Clarion unit came from a estate of a collector of vintage radios, I have shearched the web and was unable to find this model. Not sure but I dont really have anyway to tell if it needed the antienna attached…. The wooden cabinet I feel given some time and effort could be redone and made to look very nice, but you decide. If anyone could offer any info on this please feel free to do so Thanks.
For your consideration a vintage 1936 radio. The power cord is bad and it is untested. Please examine pictures for condition. Measures 14″ in width by 18 1/4″ In height by 8 1/2 in depth. Thank you for looking.
