THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
In 1923, the Howard Radio Company of Chicago IL, started producing broadcast receivers. They were known for their amateur and military short wave radios. They received a contract from the U.S. Army for communication radios during WWII. They had a license from RCA and made components for Capehart, Silvertone and others. The model 375 is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. All of the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. The tuning eye tube is bright and active. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse and and an input cable for iPhone, Bluetooth etc. Gary did a great job on the Walnut cabinet. He stripped off the old finish and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, speaker and chassis are original. We installed a new reproduction grille cloth. Howard didn't produce large numbers of their radios, so finding one like this doesn't happen very often. If you're looking for a different brand for your collection, this radio would be perfect! 19-1/2"W x 11-1/2"H x 10"D. |
