St. Regis 661 Tombstone (1935)
(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

St. Regis 661 Tombstone (1935)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

The St. Regis line was manufactured and sold by International Radio Corp, commonly known as Kadette. They produced one of the first AC/DC radios that utilized a Bakelite cabinet. They were fairly successful until they started producing larger ten-tube radios. This lead to the inevitable end of the company, and it later started manufacturing cameras and became Argus in 1936. The model 661 is a five-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) AC/DC radio and is a solid performer. The detailed dial is in perfect condition. We replaced all of the capacitors. Checked tubes and resistors, replacing where needed. A safety fuse and power chord were installed, and we added a cable for your external devices. The cabinet for this radio is impressive. It uses two types of walnut, a beautiful quilted maple front, and the top walnut veneer is sided by Teakwood. Something else you rarely see is a piece of Douglas fir as a support brace in the back. There is a lot of detailed veneer work, and Gary has masterfully refinished this radio! The knobs are original as is the Altec-Lansing speaker. This gorgeous and rare radio will be a talking point of you collection. Not too big, and not too small. 19"H x 14"W x 9"D.
