Firestone 4-A-1 "The Mercury" (1947)
(plastic tube table radio w/Aux or Bluetooth)

Firestone 4-A-1 "The Mercury" (1947)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Cute little five-tube set branded as a Firestone Air Chief and dubbed "The Mercury" in print ads of the time. It has been totally recapped, tubes tested strong, new Line cord and my 3.5mm aux cord included at no extra cost. It was missing its back cover and attached loop antenna, so I added a suitable replacement that would fit the compact cabinet. It's not as effective as the original so for distant stations you may need to attach the long wire antenna to an external source (or use the 3.5mm aux cord). The original (crack free) natural finish cabinet has a bold marble swirl pattern. Lighted dial and matching marble swirl knobs add a touch of class on this stylish little radio. Just 8-1/2"W x 6"H x 5-1/2"D.
