THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This cute little Detrola 302 is sometimes called the "teardrop" radio due to its shape. It was a pretty good seller for Detrola and quite a few have survived. The fully restored five-tube chassis does local stations fairly well on the internal antenna, with a screw on back for an external antenna. A previous servicer modified the chassis to eliminate the dangerous "curtain burner" resistive power cord. The 4-inch speaker has a couple of small, professional repairs. I gave it a coat of the Parts Express Wet Look coating and the sound is surprisingly good! The finish is slick and gorgeous. I do not think the clock is original, but it keeps perfect time. The back cover is missing a small piece from the lower left corner and had to have some repair work done. All that said, this is a really nice example of this unique little radio. One of these sold on the Attic for an amazing $995 last year. Wow. I won't be that greedy. 10"H x 9"W x 6"D.
