THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

I was a couple years old when one of my hometown radio companies (Farnsworth) made this beautiful Bakelite AM/SW radio. The swirled brown case is Bakelite for sure and, I think, the checkered grille and knobs are Tenite, but I'm not sure. Anyway, who cares; it is just so distinctively beautiful! Electronically reconditioned with new paper and electrolytic capacitors and all out of tolerance resistors replaced. The six tubes are in good shape. There is an external antenna connection for increased station sensitivity and a new power cord. The AM plays swell while the SW is Bible talk and foreign gibberish. A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty #10 "Hometown Hero" Special! If you'd like additional pictures please let me know. 11-1/2"W x 7-5/8"H x 6-1/2"D.
