THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

First time on Radio Attic for this unique eight-tube, two-band set with a very cool slot machine-like cylindrical dial surrounded by a polished brass escutcheon! Made for the popular Chicago-based Spiegel stores by Continental, the chassis on this set has an interesting power transformer using a 7Y4 Loktal tube for the rectifier, with the socket built into the top of the transformer! In addition, it uses a mix of ST and GT style tubes for a most unusual line-up! The very ornate wood cabinet has been totally refinished with toners. Topped with a light coat of clear enamel for durability and sheen, the grille cloth is the original. The chassis has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, a strong tested set of tubes. The controls were cleaned and lubricated to make them move smoothly (the dial tuning knob is designed to be pushed in for manual tuning and disengages when not in use so that the mechanical push button pre-sets can spin the dial). It's a strong playing AM radio with lots of volume, easily receiving all of my local stations. Requires a long-wire antenna for distant reception (or use the aux cable to stream your own audio). 21-1/4"W x 10-3/4"H x 10"D.
