That is a beauty!
I think the last large set I'd like to add to my collection would be a chairside. It seems such a natural way to blend the function of a radio with the form of a piece of furniture. I don't hold with furniture that talks.

Hmmmm,.... gorgeous trim! That semicircle is just right for it's function.
It looks like it has a downward-facing driver, ....or does it come with a remote speaker unit?

Great radio. What's best, the finish is great.
Kirk's dream, a nice chairside  Congrats! People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

The speaker aims front, center, behind the "rings"
My wife likes it. [Image: https://i.imgur.com/D7nHVjK.jpg]

You sure do have a good looking wife.
Tell her to quit smoking though. People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Nobody knew the dangers of smoking back then.
The dangers from smoking wasn't made public until the early 60's, I believe.

I took it to my antique radio guy this morning. He's giving it the full treatment electronically. I'm excited to bet it back in a few days, good as new.

You are lucky to have a good antique radio guy. I had a AA5 should be simple right, gave me fits. I have a few friends, very bright and good technicians, one of them took it as a personal challenge, worked on it for several hours and it was just not going to come back. He had "fun" with it he said trying to figure out like a puzzle, I would have put my head in the oven. I just remembered I have electric!
