Majestic 181
#7

Congratulations on your acquisition! I saw one of those at a local auction many, many years ago, when I was still living in Kentucky. Haven't seen one since. Your set has a dial like a Majestic 71. Very neat radio.

Too bad about the pot metal, but Majestic used the stuff in most if not all of their early sets.

Thanks Ron!

I let go of a few sets I had fallen out of love with to get this set. Though one of those sets might be coming back my way soon. I'm surprised at how goo the push-pull 50's sound. The 10 in the Zenith 34P I let go of was a tinny sounding thing.

No matter where you go, there you are.
