This classy 1939 Robert Budlong designed radio has beautiful lines and a very soothing look. The Art Deco style Bakelite cabinet was repainted the original ivory color and is in excellent condition with no flaws or damage. I got it from the estate of the original owner and it includes the original four page operating instructions booklet. That is in excellent condition as well. And, since being restored, this five tube + ballast sounds great too. The outermost one shows some fatigue as can be seen in the photos. The dial face graphics are crisp and clear and softly lit from the pilot light.

The dial cover is original. The power cord and plug are new. Felt pads were added to the bottom to protect your furniture.

Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all wax/paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced. Tubes and resistors were replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed.

The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using a short external antenna. This very stylish and comely radio begs conversation and it displays very nicely. And, now that is restored, will bring enjoyment for another 79 years. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components.

This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced.

Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good working order. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.
