Mantola R-453 (1940)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

Mantola R-453 (1940)

NEW!This gorgeous radio is the Mantola R-453 manufactured in 1940. Mantola was the brand name of the radios which B.F. Goodrich sold in their Goodrich Silvertown tire stores. Back in the 1930's and 1940's every decent sized city had a Goodrich store. The restorers research indicates that this radio was manufactured by Continental Radio and Television, later known as Admiral. This is a larger table radio at 16"W x 10"H x 8"D. It is a six-tube set with a transformer. The cabinet was stripped and lacquered with three coats and turned out fantastic. It looks just like it did when it was manufactured with a beautiful walnut shade with black trim. All of the capacitors and all out of tolerance resistors were replaced. A new back and a new polycarbonate dial cover was added. In terms of performance, it is very strong throughout the dial and provided excellent sensitivity and tone on both the AM and SW bands. Just a gorgeous example of radio history.  $350.00. (1860010)
