Bought this from a collector who was downsizing, and I gladly took it off his hands. It is a Sentinel, 1929 model. Is an 8 or 9 tubecount. I just love this set, with its elegant 1920s classy look. I love all antique radios, but especially the late 20s/early 20s models. I guess it is my taste Icon_smile It does not currently play but does plug in and light up. I think chassis was replaced at some point, but it is complete. I just adore it! Icon_smile Just thought that I would share.
