This is a beautiful vintage radio from the late 1930s and I’m looking forward to restoring it. The cabinet has a few scuff marks but nothing too serious. The speaker is a field coil type where the coil acts as the HT smoothing choke as well as an electromagnet for the voice coil. It’s nice to see Athlone printed on the dial – Radio Athlone 531 metres, 565 kc/s. The radio works very well, even though I’ve not started work on it. Rather a nice find, I thought. On the tuning dial are the words… Celluloid Printers Ltd. Surbiton Surrey.
