This is a Sparton model 98. with nine tubes. I picked it up a few years ago and it was in bad shape as far as the cabinet was concerned, but it did come out very nice. I put in a new 6E5 eye tube, and it really makes the difference.
The dial is a mirror which Sparton used a quite a bit. It is an unusual style with the grill bars situated as they are , but very appealing.
This one went to a person who really liked the radio style , and I don't blame them.
I have never seen another one of these , but if I do I will get it and restore it.
I restore these radios as a hobby and hope that other people will enjoy them as much as I have.
It keeps the past alive for those who have never seen and antique radio especially one that works well.
