Hi guy's,
Brought home a beauty today.
1938 Parmak masterpiece 7 tube ac -dc console in excellent condition.
Came from an elderly ladies farm house.
Has the Parmak AC conversion package and still has the original loop antenna.
Works great and has a beautiful multicolored dial with the manual station presets.
Has original owners manual with schematic and station is tabs.
Interesting thing is there some repair bills from 1949 that show transformer replacement for $3.45 which includes the service call.
E-cap repair for about the same price with service call charge of $2.00

These guy's were not getting rich.
Anyway the radio was professionally refinished at some point.
Looks great.
No info or pics to be found on the net.
I probably have more info than anyone on this set.
Will load pics when I have time.
Murf
