    Description

    This really nice Bakelite AM radio with a black dial from 1940 is fully restored to excellent working condition and is ready to provide many years of service.
    This model covers the AM broadcast band from 540-1620 kHz, has good reception and has a lighted dial.
    This radio will be a very nice addition (or start) to your vintage collection.
    Restoration details are below; thanks for looking.
    Electronics/Chassis Restoration:
    After cleaning the chassis, all tubes in the 5 tube set were tested and all defective or weak tubes have been replaced.  All paper capacitors have been replaced.  All out-of-tolerance resistors have been replaced.  The chassis has been re-aligned for optimal performance.  This radio has a lighted dial and a buiIt-in loop antenna for the AM Broadcast band.  An external antenna wire may also be attached for more remote reception.  The radio controls (on/volume, tuning) all work properly and smoothly.  The radio is specified as a 117 volts AC/DC set.
    Cabinet:
    The cabinet is in excellent solid shape with no cracks, chips, scratches or any damage and has a nice finish.
    Knobs, black dial and gold dial pointer are all in great shape.
    A new clear dial cover was installed (...old one was not usable).
    See photos for pictures of all sides.
    Radio dimensions are a compact 11.8 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches and will be packed well for safe shipping.
    Shipping charges are exact; I do not add any fees.
