THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This rare set has just been totally restored and is probably as close to perfect as can be found. Designed by Raymond Loewy & manufactured by the Colonial Radio Corporation, this radio was the union of Loewy's technical skills acquired from working at Westinghouse and a new material called Bakelite. The radio's speaker is in the base. The cast aluminum ring played a dual role as the earth's equator & the connector of the two metal knobs that controlled the power, volume & station tuning. The entire radio has been disassembled, the upper & lower chassis have been rebuilt with caps & weak tubes replaced, a replacement diode cord & external antenna added. The NOS grille cloth is a correct replacement. All other parts are original to the radio. The fragile globe has no cracks, chips, cracks, tube burns or repairs. The maps have minimal paint loss/fading. The ring & the top finial have been refinished to match the globe's original "axis." It has been hand-polished and is picking up all my local stations loud & clear across the AM dial. This radio would be an incredible addition to any collection. Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 16"H x 10"W.
