    You are viewing a totally restored Montgomery Ward
    Airline
    AM Broadcast bakelite cabinet table radio from 1947. This radio set has been restored to it's original condition and is ready to bring another lifetime's listening pleasure to it's proud new owner. You will be satisfied with this radio set because no detail inside OR outside has been overlooked in order to deliver both "dependable performance" and appealing cabinetry. Every effort has been made to offer a practically new radio, performing as it did originally, and to be maintenance free for quite some time.
    The bakelite cabinet is in exceptional condition without any cracks and has been hand rubbed to restore it's original showroom finish. This model measures 10.5" X 6" X 6.5"high.  A thorough clean job.  Check out all the photos.
    The electronics inside the chassis have been totally overhauled. That includes: new dial string and power cord, power supply completely replaced, and replacing all the old wax capacitors. This radio uses 5 tubes. All 5 tubes are "New Old Stock" and the dial light bulb is new and rated at 3,000 hours. And yes, the radio plays like a charm !
    Following the restoration, all radio circuits were re-tuned to their specification using instrumentation. The end result is an old fashioned tube radio giving excellent reception across the dial, playing with warmth and depth.
    Thoroughly bench tested, this vintage
    Airline
    radio set is ready to take off for it's new home. So, if you're seeking both dependability as well as old fashioned styling in a restored AM radio set, you've come to the right place.
