Here is another original and rare WEGA Model 226 tube radio.  I believe this, like the model 219, is made from Teak Wood.  WEGA (pronounced VEGA), a German company from Stuttgart, produced some of the best radios of its time featuring famous designer models by Hartmut Esslinger and Verner Panton.  This radio demonstrates a flair for a first class, timeless, simple design in fine tropical wood.  WEGA was founded in 1923 and later acquired by Sony in 1975.
 
Everything on this radio is original.   It has NOT been restored nor has it been artistically altered.  It has, however, been gone over and tested thoroughly.  There are some minor imperfections in the finish and a light pencil marking on the speaker grill cloth.  This kind of patina is expected from a 62 year old antique.
 
I removed the chassis from the cabinet and cleaned and dusted everything, I tested the tubes, capacitors and resistors and everything was in acceptable ranges.  Anything found out of range has been replaced.  The pushbutton assembly was cleaned with DeoxIT D5 and works nicely.  The original finish was hand polished.
The "magic eye" tuning tube was replaced with new old stock and shines brightly and responds well to station tuning.   
 
The radio measure approx. 19" long by 12" tall by 10" wide.
 
I pick up many FM stations even known weak stations play well.  I receive some AM and SW stations but not many.  I  believe it's the area that I live in.  I have many tube radios and have difficulty tuning in stations on these bands.
