Please visit my website at www. Oldradiogarage for more radios, parts and accessories. This will NOT alter the circuitry of this radio. The radio is clean, attractive and functional. It powers up and looks great when the dial indicator glows. THIS RADIO PICKS UP ONLY A FEW STATIONS IN MY AREA. Your area may produce better results. They also require a long wire antenna. This unit comes with one installed on the back. You may need to add to it and run it along the walls of a room at floor level. The plastic dial cover and speaker grill cloth have been replaced. The wood cabinet has been lightly sanded and protected. My “restoration philosophy” is to preserve as much of the original finish and strip to bare wood only when necessary. Therefore you will still see some of the patina and wear and tear that has developed on this radio over the course of it’s 80 plus year old history The controls have been cleaned and lubricated. The electronics have been thoroughly gone over. All paper and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and every resistor has been checked and replaced if found to be defective. Any brittle wiring has been replaced. The pots have been cleaned with CDC contact cleaner. Each tube has been tested and replaced if weak or defective. A new reproduction band belt was installed to ensure no slippage from the tuning control. Nothing has been done to this radio that is not described here. THIS IS NOT A FULLY RESTORED RADIO but rather an original vintage item that has been inspected and repaired as necessary to make it functional. As with all of my radios, I have played this radio for hours several days a week before I put it up for sale. I do my best to describe every item in detail. Please look over the photos and contact me with any questions.

Its unique tombstone upright design is a standout feature of this collectible item. The brand is RCA, known for producing high-quality electronics, and this radio is no exception. The age of this radio gives it a historical significance that many collectors desire. Don’t know if it works or not.. Never plugged in in my possession. Other tubes would need to be checked. Needs to be thoroughly checked out to see if it works. Station dial does not move.. Could just need a cleaning. Possibly could be for parts only.

Radio hums, but I was able to tune in several stations. Cabinet has some finish issues, and the top needs some glue. Dial belt is broken and needs replaced.

The Radio was for many years the center of the Home for news, humor and comedy, amateur and professional talent, etc. As it was more than two decades later before television surpassed it. As You can see here aesthetics were also an important feature in addition to the broadcast. The builder of this radio was aiming his market at upper middle class families and professional people. The primary wood for this cabinet is heavy walnut adorned with intricate strips of the same and other woods with fine ornamental decorations. The front is bird’s – eye maple with a harp motif. The finish is great and original, no wood missing, not to be refinished! There are a few(two I believe) hairline cracks in the Harp which could easily be glued. The name “BEVERLY” and the 2 control knobs and tuner are bronze and the areas surrounding the knobs are also. The back and inside are clean. The inside of the back looks cluttered because there are two coiled wires, one being the antenna, the other is the cord, gently stored there. It works with a low or high hum, but needs one inexpensive radio tube(these tubes are the elongated teardrop type, some with metal half shields). She played well when I bought Her some 12 years ago. With a “10″ being the rarest on a 1-10 scale, it rates a 9-9.5 where a RCA radio would be a 2 and an Atwater-Kent radio would be a 10.0. As for condition it would rank a “9″ or higher. I cannot lift due to a bad spine. You may preview it with 24 hours notice.
