VINTAGE 1934 DECO WESTINGHOUSE TOMBSTONE RADIO #WR-23 NICE

VINTAGE 1934 DECO WESTINGHOUSE TOMBSTONE RADIO #WR-23 NICE

This two tone deco radio cabinet shows normal signs of age and wear: some light surface scratches, dinks & dents (mainly around the edges), minor flaking of the finish (mainly in the black paint on the top edge), etc… But no cracks, breaks or missing veneer that I can see. There is one scratch about 2 long on the right hand side panel that has penetrated the finish, but it has been blended in nicely. It has its four original metal and felt feet. The thick grill bars are solid wood with no cracks or breaks that I can see. The grill cloth, from what I can see of it, is extremely nice showing minor wear. The metal escutcheon, dial and pointer are excellent. A neat feature of this radio is when turning the knob going from band to band, the dial moves up or down accordingly. The wood rosette knobs are all present, in excellent condition and turn freely. The chassis is very clean and appears to be complete with tubes. The power cord has wear to the outer cloth covering, but no bare wire is showing and is missing its plug. Sorry guys, I’m not that brave! The cone of the speaker, from what I can see of it without physically tearing this apart, has no holes, tears or rips. There is a nice paper identification / tube layout label on the back of the chassis. This set measures approx. 16″ wide, 9″ deep and 18 tall. A good looking solid radio! I don’t claim to be an expert on these so PLEASE review the photos as they supercede the description. If you need more close-ups we will be happy to oblige. Thank you for your interest!
