Circa 1930,
General Motors only made produced home radios from 1928 - 1931.
All were on the "upscale" expensive sets most with very fine
cabinetry like this unusual model with no speaker grill. The
speaker is mounted aimed at the floor at about a 30 degree
forward angle.
Other than the speaker placing
there are two other unusual features for such an early set; the
bass - treble control and "slide rule" tuning. I believe this to
be the first console to use this type of tuning dial which was
not the style until the late 30's.
I have restored
the electronics in the above example but the cabinet still has
the original finish. Well shielded 8 tube TRF with push-pull #45
output tubes give excellent performance.
I also have the "Smoking Stand" remote control accessory that I
will restore and post later. |
