I bought this on a whim and paid way too much for it but both my fiance and myself loved it.
I have not plugged this in nor will I ever without having someone go through it to make sure it wont go up in a puff of smoke.
I bet that was a prize at a State or County Fair! Who madeit?
It was made by Abbotwares around 1947.
Very cool ! love it .
Thanks, we love it too!
These radios are in a cramped space and they have a tendency to over heat if left on too long. when you get it serviced make sure they change the capacitors .
They are quite collectable
Thanks danwalker, one day this radio will be back to its original glory.
I look at this site that has a ton of pictures of this radio inside and out.
