THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

First time on Radio Attic for this early Montgomery Ward Airline brand mini-Cathedral. Simple no frills TRF, four Tubes (two 57's, 47 and 80). The cabinet was totally refinished using various toners, and a little poetic license! My new incarnation is bolder and more colorful. A real eye catcher! The chassis has been totally recapped, and a new cloth line cord attached. As with all early TRFs you need the long wire connected to an external antenna to receive distant stations. The antenna is connected directly to the volume control, so the louder you turn the volume, the stronger the stations come in. It takes both hands to tune as there is no automatic volume control. Strong stations will blast! Because of this primitive design my usual 3.5mm aux cord could not be added. If you don't have a lot of room but still would like a cathedral, this set is just 14-1/2"H x 12"W x 7"D.
