A beautiful example of one of the first all electric radios (the Radiola 17 was first and is very similar). This is from my collection and has been properly refinished and electronically restored. The case is made of solid mahogany except for the inlaid front panel and the rear cover (which are veneered plywood). All original except for the work done in the restoration of the electronics which consisted of a new (old style cloth covered) AC cord, rebuilding of the original by-pass capacitor pack (under the RF chassis), installation of a fuse in the power transformer primary, re-stringing of the dial cable, alignment and a good cleaning of the chassis and tuning condenser. One more thing I almost forgot, the lamp hood, is my reproduction. The pictures below show
all areas of the set including the underside of the chassis so those
of you restoring one of these can see what goes where in case some of
your parts are missing. Note the addition of the fuse on the underside
of the power supply chassis. |
