1947 RARE! Gilfillan Bros Model 86-U Tombstone tube Radio Serial # K-1227

Description

Offered for sale is a very nice complete Gilfillan Bros.  Overseas tube radio.   Made in Los Angles California this tombstone radio is one handsome fella.   It does play and looks to me to be all original.     The screws in the back are mismatch and a couple are missing.   Also,  The knobs all seem to function correctly but the station jump buttons do not.
There is some stress lines in the black paint on the front if you look close but other than that it is in original good shape.   The back of the radio has a nice veneer and on bottom left there is a missing chipped piece.   Bottom has original rubber stubby feet.
There is a link of the radio playing below along with info from the web on this top end radio.
Will double box this radio and Shipping will have insurance cost added to cost.   Local pickup in eastern N.C. available.
