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

These are no longer common or easy to find radios. They were a child's radio and those that survive show the battle scars! What makes this one extraordinary is the restoration includes a new foil front, grille cloth and knob button covers. When I purchased the radio I never imagined that I would find the parts necessary for a complete restoration. I went to purchase a Zenith "cube," and was treated to look at an amazing collection of radios which included a red Hopalong Cassidy radio. I mentioned I had a Hopalong Cassidy radio sans the foil face and the gentleman explained that he was able to purchase some foils and grille cloths from the family who retained ownership of the image. The radio chassis is a full restoration, I have replaced all of the capacitors, and out of tolerance resistors, checked the tubes and lubricated and cleaned the controls. I installed an antenna wire from that era, and purchased a replacement back for the radio. It's not perfect, but its been repainted and has been resurrected and looks like a new radio!
