Very deco 1941 Majestic bakelite
1 Attachment(s)
There are some sets you just can't pass on when they cross your path. This a 1941 (I first mistakenly ID'd as a '39) Majestic 7T11 6-tube radio with tone control. The set was made at the peak of the streamline-modern craze and is a good example. It's a good player too!

I had one of these and I traded it for a RCA TM21D color monitor...working. Everyone was happy...still.

There are millions of AA5s out there, many have very cool looking deco cabinets...One can go to 100 radio/TV swap meets and find 5000 deco AA5s, but not one TM-21...I appreciate looks the same as I do engineering, but categorical scarcity (and engineering interest) puts some things in other leagues. |
It's purdy!

Thanks MadMan for your comment. |
A member on ARF confirmed that the design is the famous industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes first venture into bakelite radios. It was the original "3-ribbed" model, but we can attribute the later "4-ribbed" model, which is just a slight revision of it, to him.
