Here's one you don't see very often; A 1937 Knight table radio. Knight, a Chicago based manufacturer, was best known forselling high end radios by catalog during the 1930's and 40's. This istheir model A10865 and features a stunning dark walnut cabinet, attractive gold dial, bright green magic tuning eye and outstanding performance.
Cabinet: The dark walnut cabinet is simply gorgeous! Beautiful wood grain flows throughout the entire set with a stylish 'step up' solid wood top. The squared off right side, coupled with theroundedleft side and large wrap around grill, reminds you of the classic Art Deco styles so famous from that era. It all comes together magnificently when powered up and the dial lights along with the bright green magic tuning eye. Quite a spectacular sight! Shiny brass escutcheons surround the tuning eye as well as the dial matching the brass Knight name plate adding to the elegance of the set. Grooved pinstripe inlays and dark walnut tones finish the cabinet off perfectly. This seldom seen beauty is sure to be the main attraction in any room of the home or office you choose to display it in.

All letters and numbers are legible and showlittle signs of wear.Locatedin the top front center of the radio is abright green tuning eye that opens and closes indicating signal strength. Both knobs are in perfect shape and control on/off & volume and tuning.

All brittle or bare wiring was replaced orre-insulated. The chassis has been cleaned, lubed, and re-aligned for optimalperformance.Using theincluded copper lineantenna the radio performsexceptionally well. I'm able to pick up many stations, near and far,across the AM broadcast band. The set providesgreat tone andplenty of volume.
The Cabinet’s Finish and Restoration Process: Our Radio cabinetsundergo a vigorous restoration process. Our goal is to maintain the naturalbeauty of the wood and grain, while providing a deep luster and shine. Weachieve this by removing all the old and worn lacquers and stains. We then sandthe cabinet with fine grit pads down to the original bare wood. Nicks, chips, andblemishes are filled and/or blended. Any loose veneer is re-secured. We makesure any filler applied or repairs made are blended nicely and do not detractfrom the beauty of the set unless otherwise noted. New stains and sealers areapplied by hand. We continue by using many coats of Mohawk brand lacquers andtoners applied in the same manner as when the radio was originally finished inthe factory. We use a nitrocellulose piano lacquer which is applied through aprofessional HVLP turbine spray system in a climate controlled room.Nitrocellulose lacquer is very thin. We also apply very thin coats. This allowsthe lacquer to seep into the grain and not cover it up. A fine grit wet sandingfollows every third coat along with a polishing process and ending with an Ozglaze rub. Many hours of work are put into the radios, but as you can see, thefinal outcome is a beautiful, natural looking cabinet with gorgeous luster&shine. Our radios are a great piece of history that come to you ready toproudly display, as well as listen to, in any room of the home or office.
