    Description

    Here's a cool old Miraco farm radio from 1926. It still looks to be complete inside with tubes and a headphone jack in front, but there is no speaker with this unit. What do I like about this radio? The graphic for the "Ultra 5". They totally went off the rails with art for a change doing that logo back then! The left Bakelite knob has issues. It's edges and arrow appear to be missing. The bakelite face plate is in great shape, but still dirty and needs a good buffing. The drip you can see in a few pics isn't permanent but wipes off easy, (am I lazy or what?). The cabinet of course needs refinishing or at least your favorite tongue oil.
    It measures approximately 42.5" wide, 8.5" deep and 7.5" tall. Have no idea if it works or not, but I bought a large collection of old radios from one of the west coast's most notable collectors that I've known for 40 years and he had most of them working. All of the old tubes are present. This radio ran on special batteries, which are of course not included. Neither is the windmill that charged those batteries ;).
    So here it is, a diamond in the rough, aching for your expertise and elbow grease. Will ship FREE to the lower 48 only please.
