For Sale: Vintage untested portable radio in nice condition. May have been made around 1950.
Looks complete, no apparent broken or missing parts. Includes all tubes. Very clean inside and out. The included dead battery supplied 7.5 volts and 90 volts. Online info indicates this also takes 120vac line voltage but I can't find anyplace to plug it in. Going to guess there was a power supply unit that would fit where the battery goes when not being used with battery power. The battery connector plug would then probably plug into the power supply unit.
