The start of production for this model was in December 1925, but first sale activity was in 1926. Sparton Radio Service Manual. For this model (Manual 1, Bulletin 1) is dated June 1, 1936 and calls for the use of 01-A tubes, which are the much later dome shaped tubes, not the original tube line up! The list “The quantity and types of tubes used in Sparton receiving sets” from 1937 or later also names the tubes used as 01-A. Sparton tubes were most likely used in this model while it was in production, but by the time the Sparton Radio Service Manual was published in 1936, radio manufacturers were using the more generic “01-A” tube nomenclature. Suspect that the original tube lineup was: C-201A C-201A C-201A C-201A C-201A or C-112A, however no documentation has yet been found that actually lists the original tube lineup.

Little marks on the top of the cabinet which would be expected from a piece form the 60′s. Cats eye works well. Could use a new radio antenna but still gets stations.

It doesn’t have its back panel, but the bottom of the wooden housing is marked with “CM 3051″, so I believe this is a model 3051 from around 1939. It powers on enough to light up and some of the tubes light up, but I’m not getting any sound from it. It does need a new power cord, as the current one has a few damaged spots and exposed wiring. The speaker fabric is not original, and in my opinion, I think this radio would look better with a different fabric! The writing on the faces of the buttons have worn off and aren’t fully legible. I don’t have a back panel for the radio. There are scuffs, scratches, and small stains scattered throughout. Will come as shown, so please see photos!
