1956 Motorola 56R Plastic radio
Picked up a 1956 Motorola 56R Plastic radio.
Works good but I think the controls need some cleaning. No chips or cracks on the cabinet. Could use a good cleaning and cabinet polish. Here's some pics and a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv6P7...ature=youtu.be

There were not enough black radios in the mid 50s, that looks very sharp.
I wonder if that wasn't recapped, it sounds great and you actually have AM stations that play M U S I C rather than end-end jibber-jabber.

Wow. I had that SAME radio when I was a kid. Bought it for a dime at a garage sale, and played it for a whole summer.
I HAVE to get me one of those again
