Sparton 61/62 Lunchbox

This one came from that Internet site, E- something or other.

It is a wonder that any of these survived. The cabinet is solid, not veneer. If it was ever dropped the case would have shattered. The line cord and antenna wire are STUFFED into the back of the radio and the door closes for transport. This must have been rough on tubes and such. I can see someone pulling the grid caps off while retrieving the cords.

The curtain burner was replaced with a resistor, and, polarized plug. Caps, of course. Fortunately it has none of those exclusive Sparton tubes. I still need one of the small knobs with an arrow on it. Anybody have one?

This chassis is very similar to the one used in the famous bluebird. I think it is cool because of the size. For around 1934, it is truly portable.
