New Project: 1934 Colonial 662 (corrected model)
#1

Hi Folks,

It's been a little while, but a new radio landed at my doorstep: a slightly scuffed Colonial 651, which the internet tells me hails from 1934. Aside from extracting a mouse nest, the set was in good condition. It's generally unmolested as far as I can make out from an initial assessment. It's a 5 tube ac set, 6A7, 78, 75, 41 output tube and 84 rectifier. The latter bears a dealer test sticker dated 1942, from a dealer in Oakland, CA.

Pictures to follow, once I've resized them.

Ed

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
