Description: AIRCASTLE MODEL 10003-2 / AM ONLY / BAKELITE CASE Broadcast (AM) only. Mfg. 1949 Spiegel Inc. (Continental); Chicago, IL5 tubes, 12SA7, 12SK7, 12SQ7, 50L6, 35Z5 AC/DC -set / 110-120 Volt. Cabinet: Brown Bakelite The radio measures aprox. 12.25 x 7 x 7 inches (WxDxH) I am selling off almost all of my collection of radio's. I still have few of these table top radios left to sell so keep your eyes open here on Ebay. I removed the chassis so you could see what shape it is in. I show you inside and out and close up so that you can see exactly the shape the radio is in before you bid get one and are disappointed. See what is available on eBay but buy this one. I think you'll agree it is a nice radio at a fair price. If you have any questions I am glad to answer. Don't wait until the last minutes as I may not be able to get you an answer. The case is in very good shape and has a nice shine. There are very few scratches to the finish and the grille is not broken. I found no breaks or cracks. The two screws that hold the chassis to the case are somewhat loose. I don’t know if the screws are original to the radio or if the screw holes are worn. The cabinet is a little dusty and could use a good cleaning. The label on the bottom is worn, has a few tears and stained. The model / serial number and a tube layout is on the label. Please view all the pictures. Look closely as what you see is what you will receive. The gold foil dial is in good condition as is the dial pointer. The radio powers up. The glass tubes and dial light show life, but only 60 cycle hum – no audio. After the radio warms up no sound at all. The volume on/off knob works. The volume seems to work with static / hum. The radio is as found and retains all the original electrolytics and paper caps. The back and antenna appears in fair condition. The holes at the top are worn and the antenna is warped. The speaker looks ok but has a small hole punch. The power cord has been replaced and the antenna wires connecting the antenna to the chassis have been replaced. The radio is not playing, therefore I offered no video. The dial cord is slipping and will not turn the dial. The tubes and all parts are untested The radio and chassis are fairly clean. The radio is as it is seen in the pictures and is sold for parts or restoration only. Please ask any questions before purchasing this radio. PLEASE READ: I have been shipping radios across the country and around the world for almost 30 years. I use new boxes and new and recycled packing materials. For this radio: I wrap the power cord in a used shopping bag to isolate it from the radio cabinet. I place the radio in a plastic bag and vacuum the air from the bag then tie it off to keep the radio safe from water, dust etc. This radio was bubble wrapped and placed in a new heavy duty box and packed securely with lots of packing peanuts and the box is sealed. The box containing the radio is placed inside another new outer box and is packed with recycled shredded paper on all four sides. If you object to shredded paper maybe this auction is not for you. The outer box is then sealed with heavy duty reinforced tape. A shipping label and “Handle with Care / Fragile / Thank You” labels attached to the top and sides of the box. I do not charge for the shipping supplies. I have paid a lot of money for a radio to have it arrive broken and the tubes falling out because someone though that by dropping it in a box with little to no packing was good enough. This radio is 75 years old. Once it is damaged or broken one cannot undo the loss. I pack the radios to arrive safely. It makes a mess when I pack them and one needs to take care when opening. So.The radio is double boxed. The outer box is 17" x 13” x 13" and weighs 10 lbs. This radio is located in and ships from Rome, Georgia 30165. Please examine the pictures closely. This is the radio you will receive. It is just as you see it. Pickup is available. SOLD AS IS, NO GUARENTEE / NO RETURNS.
