Sparks Withington
#1

I was cleaning out one of my storage rooms and discovered a Sparks-Withington Model 400 Series radio, the dial plate has Sparton Junior. The cabinet is near mint condition. I also have a Airline battery set (mint), a 20's RCA with matching external speaker. and a Zenith arm chair which plays great. The RCA sounds great with very very little AC hum (what are the odds). I haven't a clue where or when I picked up this Sparks-Withington. I'm a Victrola/Gramophone collector/restorer and its time to thin out my 40 some machines and radios.

I'm going to plug the SW set in and see what happens. I don't see anything obvious that could cause a disaster.
