SEA GREEN Mid Century Retro Jetsons 1957 Motorola 57H Tube AM Radio Excellent Condition!

 

DESCRIPTION: Tabletop tube AM radio manufactured by Motorola in 1957 in excellent+ working condition. This design is one of my personal favorites. Looks very automotive and sci fi to me. A collectors favorite. Green color is very much sought after for its rarity. Original factory molded color not painted. Picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without need of external antenna attachment. Cabinet is in very good condition. There is a small hairline crack beginning from the top back center. The bottom has a bunch of yellow burns that looks like someone put this radio on a BBQ grill. This radio is over 60 years old!  Grill is in excellent condition with no dents, dings, rust, or warping. Motorola label on front speaker grill is in excellent condition. The knobs are in excellent condition. No missing ink, smudges, or rub-off on tuning dial lettering. The clear bezel is securely attached no cracks or scratches. The tuning dial works fine and smooth no slipping. The tuning indicator button is faded and has micro inclusions. Top lighted on/off button works and lights brightly! All paper and wax capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time! The tubes are working fine. All out-of-spec resistors have been replaced with modern correct value and voltage equivalents. There is no loud or pervasive hum. There is no loud or pervasive static between stations unless you operate near modern megahertz devices. The set has been aligned according to factory specifications. Backing board is in good condition with crisp square corners. The power cord and plug are good original working condition with no cracks, or splits. No exposed wiring. The power cord base is reinforced with some electrical tape to prolong life against cable fatigue. The radio has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected. All wiring has been thoroughly checked for possible bridging and weak solder connection. Comes from non-smoking, mature, clean professional environment no pets. When this radio was new, tailfins were all the rage! This thing belongs in a museum!

COLOR: Sea Green
