The "APPROXIMATE"
sized of this gem is 13-1/4" long, 7-1/2" wide & 8-3/4" high.
This is a vintage radio & must be handled & cared for & treated in this manor & not like a modern day boombox. Tube radio technology "unlike modern day solid state radios" can have interference/noise in the sound quality, caused by kitchen appliances, computer monitors, flat screen TV'S, florescent lights, washing machines, high power wires above your home, etc... So where you position/place this radio in your home can make a huge difference & the direction/position it is set in. A lot of tube radios are directional meaning you "may" have to turn the radio one way or the other to receive the best reception. Tube radios take 30 to 45 seconds "for tubes" to warm up before they will start playing.
I have a few antique vintage radios & items listed on eBay at different times so you may want to take a peek now or in the future to see if there isn't anything else that you just can't live with or with out:-) To see other items click here
