Airline 62-259 (1937)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

Airline 62-259 (1937)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Montgomery Wards sold thousands of quality radio without ever actually manufacturing one! Wells-Gardner and Belmont made a lot of the Wards radios, but I know there were other companies involved too. The 62-259 is an eight-tube, three-band (AM,SW,police) radio. The capacitors were all replaced with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes where checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, antenna lead and audio input were installed. This radio has a gorgeous chrome chassis and beautiful multi-colored oval dial. The rich Walnut cabinet was stripped and refinished. With our customary "piano" lacquer finish, this radio is absolutely stunning! The original knobs, chrome chassis and speaker are present. The new tuning eye is bright and active, and a crystal-clear dial cover from Mark Palmquist was installed as wells a period-correct grille cloth. This set was in the upper part of the line for 1937, and is a great performer that you can enjoy for years to come! 17-1/2"W x 10"H x 9"D.
