 Although a little out of my usual radio lane, this little Delco R-1229 caught my eye on eBay and I may have spent a little too much for it. Someone loved this little radio and took very good care of it. The cabinet is very eye catching, with what I believe are rosewood, maple and walnut components. The finish was very nice on it, so I just gave it a touchup and a little furniture polish. It retains a few mars and scratches from its many years of service but I think it is very presentable. The back cover is pretty badly stained, but the graphics are still readable. My usual thorough chassis restoration, with all high testing tubes for long service life. Receives fairly well on the internal antenna but has a clip on back for more distant stations. Several have sold on the attic topping out at $225 in 2020. This is a swell little radio that really grabs your attention and will get noticed in any collection. I hope you will notice it as well and give it a good home! $199.00. (1680152)
