From my collection, a more beautiful example of this radio will be tough to find. All original except the antenna which is a superb and authentic replica. I purchased the antenna more than 30 years ago. The antenna was made by Glenn Streeter who was noted for his quality and authentic replica items. Had I not so indicated, most would not know that the antenna is a replica.

Features a 3 tube reflex circuit (performs like a 5 tube circuit) with a crystal detector. This radio is 100% original (except for the loop) and in excellent cosmetic and working condition.

Shipping weight (radio), approx: 20 lb.
Shipping weight (loop), approx:
10 lb. (most of it will be the box and packaging)

NOTE, these need to be shipped in two separate containers. The antenna will be a bit spendee' if shipped unfolded, the antenna can be broken down and shipped in a smaller box but it may be difficult for some to re-assemble without having the wires sag. It's best to be sent assembled in an oversized, sturdy box.

$1300.00 plus shipping. SHIPPING RATES (USA): (radio) $39.00, (antenna), oversized box + $60.00 .  I can reduce shipping cost for the loop by $30.00 if shipped broken down (see note above). The shipping cost will be adjusted accordingly if buyer wants the antenna shipped broken down.
