Detrola 139E (1937)
(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

Detrola 139E (1937)

Here is a seldom seen terrific Detrola tombstone. This was the trade name for Detroit Radio, who made radios under their own name and Truetone, Silvertone, as they were a choice manufacturer for the national retailers. Note the oversized and brightly lit dial with the clear channel stations on a multicolored background. The radio is a spectacular example that was refinished by the previous collector. The speaker cloth is a period correct replacement and the knobs factory original. This cabinet style is a pretty uncommon one. The radio is a strong playing seven tube super-het that plays on both Broadcast and Shortwave. I was impressed with the addition of a tone control which allows you to tailor the sound output to your taste. My professional technician has done his complete and exacting repairs. The radio is dramatic in performance. He added a mini-jack to allow your connection of any modern device. This will allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone, iPods, or record player. Access your old vinyl, or log on to Pandora, Apple Music, or the playlist on your computer to provide the tunes and use the Bluetooth connection to bring the warm, bright, allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone analog sound of a tube amplifier to any music or recordings you choose. Free Bluetooth adapter. 17-1/4"H x 13-1/4"W x 7-1/2"D.  $695.00. (0961860)
