This awesome sounding radio was made in Western Germany by Graetz, Altena (Westf.) for RCA as a model for US soldiers in Europe. The FM range is 87.5 to 100 MHz.  The radio is solid, heavy and the sound is nothing short of outstanding!
 
It has been "repaired and preserved." By that I mean it is a fully functioning radio with original componentry except for any items found defective which were replaced. The radio retains its original wood finish.  It has been cleaned and hand polished - not refinished.  Therefore, 65 plus years of patina will be present adding character to this historical radio.
 
All other parts have been thoroughly cleaned and polished but not refinished. Everything is original! The chassis was removed from the case and all parts were well inspected and tested. Any defective capacitors were replaced, any resistors out of specifications were replaced and any weak or dead tubes replaced. The panel lights were replaced. The EM34 magic tuning eye is a rare tube and sells for over $100.  The one in this radio is original and it works but it is not very bright.   I ordered a NOS Soviet made 6E5C and a Chinese made converter that can replace the EM34.  The buyer will have a choice between the two.
 
Everything works as originally designed.  Bass, Treble and Volume and push button controls have been cleaned and lubricated. They all respond well. The pressboard back is in great shape with no damage.
 
Nothing has been done to this radio that is not described here.  THIS IS NOT A FULLY RESTORED RADIO but rather an original vintage item that has been inspected and repaired as necessary to make it functional.  As with all of my radios, I have played this radio for hours several days a week before I put it up for sale.  I do my best to describe every item in detail.  Please look over the photos and contact me with any questions. As with any old tube radio, this should not be left unattended or played for long periods of time.
