Air Castle 5000 (1939)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

Air Castle 5000 (1939)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

You are looking at a terrific table radio. Manufactured by Detrola Radio from Detroit, Michigan, these were very well engineered radios. This radio was available under several names, but the Air Castle name was the house brand of Spiegel Catalogue Company. The six-tube super-het chassis plays well on both AM and Shortwave. Note the massively oversized multi-colored dial which is brightly backlit. The new green tuning eye winks with great sensitivity as you dial station to station. The cabinet is a nice original finish. There are a few imperfections, normal for a radio of this age (82 years old). The speaker cloth and knobs appear to be factory original. The fine American walnut is dramatic in its pattern. My tech has done his usual and professional repairs and the radio plays in a fine fashion. He has added a mini-jack to the circuit and you can choose your modern input device to the radio. Listen to your phone, pad or computer for the infinite amount of free content available. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 18"W x 10"H x 8"D.
