This was a tired old set that needed cabinet repairs and a complete refinish. I spent many hours getting it back in shape. A nice mid-level, mid-size cathedral radio with hearty chassis and good size Magnavox speaker. It plays well.

Wow! Verry nice.:yes: Did the original finish have that lovely dark-to-lite transition?

Is it AM only or does it have a shortwave band in addition to the AM band like the Philco 60?
|
AM only with RF amplifier stage.

It's a late addition to Rider's VI. It's more like an early 30's entry! They used the early 6 volt car radio tubes. Anything to get around RCA patents. :scratch2: |
Wow that looks great. I like how the finish turned out .
Do you have any before pictures? |
Wasn't the car battery the reason for tube heater voltage finally being standardized to 6.3V ?
