THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Gilfillan Brothers started manufacturing radios in Los Angeles in 1921. They held the RCA West Coast patents for radio manufacturing, and it's estimated that they produced radios for as many as 40-50 companies as well as their own brand. They didn't assign model numbers to many of their builds, but I found this one about 15 years ago at a local radio club swap meet. It was nice enough that I just put it on a shelf with some of my other radios in my collection. The 72X is a seven-tube, three-band (SB,swx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead, and an audio input cable. Gary refinished the cabinet back to the original colors of Walnut and Ebony. This radio is just flat out gorgeous! It has the "Stationized" dial scale and a beam of light dial pointer for local broadcasts and two bands of shortwave. The chassis, 8-inch speaker and knobs are original. We included a few pictures of the dial in the different band configurations. This very rare and unique Gilfillan Radio was a great find by Gary, and can now be yours… A fantastic addition to any collection! 21"W x 13"H x 11"D.
