Vintage Grunow table radio. Very Art Deco shape with chrome grill. 12″l x 6″w x 7.25h. Left knob is on/off volume. Right knob is tuning. Dated 1934 on bottom (I don’t know if that’s correct or not). Also says it was rebuilt in 2007. I don’t know if that includes cabinet refinishing? Cabinet is in great shape nonetheless. Fabric in grill is also in fantastic shape, so that may also be a replacement. I don’t know. It has a long electric cord and also an antenna cord (I think that’s what it is).

Electric cord and plastic plug-in housing piece is also in very good condition. I plugged into electrical outlet. The dial light came on – humming sound – and when turning pointer, it picked up a few stations, but just static type noise. My radio collection is for display. I’m not a repair or restorer of these classical beauties. Where are you going to find one like this one, very scarce. X 9″High X 8″ Wide.
