    Latest Resto

    Pre 1945 . The Westinghouse Little Jewel. If you bought a new frig, the dealer gave you one of these frig radios free.
    Here are several pictures and a short video of it in action.

    Nice job!
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I love the old wood and art deco bakelite radios. I started to collect them awhile back, but didn't keep up with it and the prices went wacko. I ended up selling all but a few, and kept two floor radios and one farm radio.

    Very good, nice to see it back in action ;)

    Good! Did you give it the OSHA "tongue test," where you touch your tongue to the chassis to make sure it's not hot?
