Price: US $243.73
Here we start with a vintage & beautiful looking Aetna tube two tone wood tombstone AM Shortwave radio in good working condition. I am not sure what the model number is on this stunning looking radio but I believe it was produced in the late 1930\'s or early 1940\'s era. The two tone wood cabinet on this wonderful radio has been refinished by the previous owner & they did a very fine job in refinishing it. The cabinet is solid & tight & the finish produces a very nice looking sheen or shine that looks fantastic not to mention the grain in the wood is fabulous looking as well. Now as nice as this radio looks & believe me it does look very nice but it is not perfect as there are a couple of very small minor chips in the veneer on a couple of edges but this in no way detracts from the overall beauty of this radio. I have taken many pictures of this radio so you may get a good view at this amazing looking & working radio.The round brass bezel around the dial scale is in great condition with nicely aged patina & the glass in front of the dial scale is clean & clear with no cracks or scratches. The round AM SW dial scale is extremely cool looking & in fantastic condition as well as a very cool looking & working dial scale pointer also a nice working dial light. The elegant wood design for the speaker grill is in fantastic looking condition. The speaker grill cloth has been replaced with a vintage reproduction cloth that is in excellent condition & complements the cabinet very nicely. The 4 bakelite/plastic control knobs are in excellent looking condition. There is no back panel to this set which I believe this radio never came with a back panel. There is no internal antenna system, only a long wire attached & this long wire MUST be extended/stretched out in 1 direction or another \"left, right, up or down\" to receive AM & SW reception.The chassis is in great condition & it is a 6 tube unit with 4 controls. The controls are as stated, on the left side of the dial scale is TONE-top knob & ON/OFF/VOLUME-bottom knob & on the right side of the dial scale is TUNING -top knob & BAND-bottom knob & all controls work fine. The chassis has had all new electrolytic capacitor/filters installed & all paper/wax capacitors have been replaced & a new vintage cloth electric cord has been installed. This radio has been refinished & the chassis restored by the previous owner who was a serious radio collector.When thisbeautiful &stunning looking Aetna is powered up, it pulls in AM & SW stations allaroundthat cool lookingdial scale& plays them clean & clear with plenty of volume. I was able to pickup many shortwave stations but this may very depending on where you place this radio in your home & the time of day, evening, late night or early morning hours when using the SW bands.
