The Sparton 6218 ‘Lobster’ Tube Radio was built in 1939 and has a 'Ingraham' cabinet. It is a rare radio that is intriguing to many radio collectors. The one presented in this listing is in great condition and is a substantial display piece. This is a larger size table top radio measuring 22” L X 11” H X 10” D and weighing 14 lbs.
The cabinet structure is sound with all joints tight. All of the veneer is intact. It has recently been refinished by a cabinet maker to a high standard. The grille cloth has been replaced with a similar looking cloth.
The Selectronne 6-tube chassis has been cleaned and is sold as “Not Working”. The Electro Magnetic Dynamic LS 5” speaker has an intact original cone. It has 2-Bands: Broadcast/SW. There are 6 station preset push buttons. The chassis is corrosion free and is a good candidate for an electronic restoration. The power cord is cut. If you are considering this work, we urge you to consult with a vintage electronics expert to do this work for you.
