.jpg "Detrola 3281 with Clock (1941)") |
Most people have clock radios. Usually it's the radio on your bed stand with a clock and alarm to help you get up in the morning. In the 30's and 40's, a clock radio was simply a radio in a nice cabinet that also sported a regular, time-keeping clock...no alarm, just a nice electric clock. Here we have a Detrola version of one, the 3281 mantle clock radio. The 3281 is a six-tube (seven plus a ballast tube) AM/SW, AC/DC clock/radio. The clock is not marked, but an educated guess would be a Techron clock, (found in most early clock radios), but since The Ingraham Clock Company made the cabinet for Emerson, it could possibly be an Ingraham clock. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern values. The resistors and tubes were replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse and a new power cord. Gary stripped and refinished this gorgeous Ingraham cabinet. Gary stated: "This has looks and performance! The cabinet is built by Ingraham for Detrola and it's in the mantle clock design and the photos don't do it justice!" The chassis, speaker, clock, knobs, back, dial scale and dial cover are all original to the set. How Detrola was able to squeeze a seven-tube chassis into the cabinet is amazing! It receives local broadcasts loud and clear across the dial with good tone. The clock has been lubed and operates properly. The knob in the back lower left is the AM/SW switch. 12-1/2"W x 10-1/2"H x 7"D. $995.00. (1600567) |
