vintage
Comments Off







The gold tubes are all Cunningham CX 301A, the tubes tested 32,44,32,29,30/18 on my tuv 7 tester. I believe this is model 50- the leatherette radio with metal corner accents. The radio is made by the Reichmann co. The radio is in suburb condition for its age. A few marks on the radio, There is one tube holder that has a big chip in it but holds the tube good. See pictures for condition. The front has blemishes, ect, and one knobs has a long light scratches or possible a crack. See the last picture. The radio measures 20 1/4″ L X 12.5″ D X 10 H. Sides look very good. The front has a light scuff in the leather on the left front lower area, and there is a picture of it. Back is very good also. The top has some blemishes and a scratch in the front. The gold tubes kinda have a spotty appearance to them. A couple areas on the inside where the leather or simulated leather(is unknown) around the inside edge needs reglued down. The bottom of the radio is some whitish stains on the leather or material, and long cracks in the wood. I dont know the history of the radio, whether it was refurbished or not.
