QR Code Link to This Post
Key details:
Model: 37-610 (confirmed by chassis label inside)
5-tube AC-powered superheterodyne (tubes visible: 6K7G, 6A8G, etc.)
AM broadcast band (with dial markings 530-1720 kc, plus possible shortwave on some variants)
Original wooden cabinet with carved grille, fabric speaker cover, and aged patina
Brass "MUSIC RANGE" dial, volume/tone knobs, tuning controls
Includes original high-efficiency aerial connector label and wiring notes
Chassis shows original capacitors, transformers, speaker, and tubes (some dust/rust from age, but looks complete/no major missing parts)
The cabinet has honest vintage wear: scratches, dings, patina, some cracking/rust spots (typical for 85+ years old), but no major breaks or repairs visible. The inside looks unrestored/original – great candidate for light cleaning, capacitor replacement, or full restoration to play again (these often hum or play with basic work). Untested by me, but appears intact.
Perfect for collectors, man cave decor, steampunk/vintage setups, or as a cool display piece. Much rarer and more character than modern replicas!
