We’re back and we have some of the best antique radios we’ve ever had to offer! We took a year off to expand our radio facilities and replenish our stock of restored antique radios in an effort to offer our valued customers some of the best antique radios available. Be sure to check out our 10 day auctions starting Sunday and Thursday nights for new Quality Antique Radio listings!
Here we have one of the most classy table radios to date. The 1937 Detrola 178. This Elegant Beauty is just stunning! Gorgeous flowing wood grains, large bright dial, Extreme Art Deco design, Unique ’claw foot’ base, and AM & Shortwave Bands.
Cabinet: The Art Deco designed walnut cabinet is simply beautiful! Just look at the gorgeous flowing wood grain throughout the set. Magnificent toning adds an ’eye catching’ sunburst effect while the dark walnut inlays contrast the lighter interior wood and grill bars perfectly. The large ’Airplane’ style dial along with the ’claw foot’ base finish this set off with style and class. A superb example of early American radio history that is sure to be the highlight of any room in the home or office. Please email me to see photos with Zoom Views. Be sure to view my other Radio Auctions!
The Cabinet’s Finish: All of our radio cabinets undergo a vigorous restoration process using a minimum 12 coats of Mohawk brand lacquers and toners. A 1000, 2000, & 4000 grit wet sanding follows every third coat. The process is finished off with a three step polishing process with a final Oz glaze rub. Many hours of work are put into these cabinets but as you can see, the final outcome is a beautiful cabinet with a silk smooth finish and gorgeous luster & shine. Our radios are a great piece of history that come to you ready to proudly display, as well as listen to, in any room of the house or office.
Knobs/Dial: The 4 bakelite ’bullet’ knobs have been polished and are in excellent condition. They are secure, turn smooth and work as they should (on/off volume/tone/band switch/tuning). The real attention getter on this set is the large silver Airplane dial. And it is in great condition. It lights nice and bright and all numbers and letters indicating station frequencies are legible and show very little signs of wear. The dial pointer is in great shape as is the new dial cover.
Electronics/Chassis: The 5 tube chassis is in excellent condition. It has been restored and thoroughly cleaned as with all of our radios. The set plays strong with excellent volume, nice tone, and no hum on both bands. I will include a 30 day warranty on the tubes caps and filters.
Dimensions: 15 ½”W x 9 ¼“H x 6 ½“D.
Approximate Shipping cost: $35 East Coast, $45 Central, $55 West Coast.
