Delco R-1151 (1939)
(Bakelite tube table radio w/Aux or BT)

Delco R-1151 (1939)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!
A ONE-DAY WONDER!

This curvaceous Bakelite Delco table radio is a fine example of 1930s design. The cabinet is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks, and a superb original shine. The five tube chassis was innovative for its time, using the newly developed "All American Five" octal tube set, permeability tuning, a capacitive plate internal antenna, and mechanical pushbutton tuning for four preset stations. This radio has been electrically and mechanically restored, with all new capacitors, a full alignment, and a modern polarized power cord with some internal wiring changes to bring things up to more modern safety specs. Sensitivity and sound quality are as good as new, and the pushbuttons work perfectly. Lighted dial. 11"W x 7"H x 6"D.
