This is an excellent example of the 1957 Korting Delmonico 1007 AM/FM/Shortwave tube radio.  The manufacturer, Körting-Radio, built it for the export market, specifically for the US so it has the full 87.5 to 108 MHz FM spectrum.

 

 The Bakelite case has a repaired crack on the bottom and the entire case has been refinished in Blue Ocean Breeze enamel.  The case and knobs were thoroughly cleaned. The chassis was removed and fully dusted. All moving parts cleaned and lubricated. All tubes, capacitors and resistors were checked and any found to be defective were replaced. The "magic eye" tuning tube was replaced with new old stock and shines brightly and responds well to station tuning. The speaker grille cloth was replaced with new material that compliments the blue paint color.

 

 The radio measure approx. 14" long by 10" tall by 8" wide.  Like most German sets or it's era, the sound is nothing short of awesome, producing a rich, warm analogue sound. The FM band comes in strong and clear with no help from an external antenna. The AM (BC) and Short wave (SW) bands pick up some stations but I need a wire antenna connected to the back for optimal performance on these bands.  I have also played my Android phone through the phono selector with the use of a special cable.

 

 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 throughly inspected, cleaned 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.
