Airline Tele-Dial Radio

Airline Tele-Dial Radio by The Rocketeer.
Montgomery Wards Airline "telephone dial" radio from the 1930's. The sound on this radio is exquisite and it pulls in stations that modern radios have a hard time picking up. The art deco look and "tuning eye" are what attracted me to this radio.

GREAT looking radio, they dont make em like that anymore.

I have LOTS of vintage 1930s broadcasts and music in my collection, listening to those in such a radio is a absolute magical experience.
