About The Radio


This is a 6 tube superheterodyne Bakelite table radio that tunes the AM broadcast band.
​ It is built without a power transformer but due to tube advances, no resistance line cord or ballast tubes 
are required.
Commercial radio production was stopped during WWII as the radio manufacturers built military equipment. This is one of the first post WWII commercial radios.
