Ultra 44

Ultra 44 radio. Walnut cabinet with vertical speaker slots at the top, a cream-framed tuning dial below and three controls along the bottom

This is a genuine antique wireless, but it can also be used as an every day radio. It has a neon indicator for tuning into stations, which must have been unique in 1934. The sound quality is excellent and the radio looks beautiful – a real piece of furniture.
