Here’s a new one on me.  Not ever seen one for sale before. Circa 1938. Apparently by some small Chicago manufacturer. The one I got has issues, but seems restorable.

My unit needs work, but it should clean up. It needs some small work on the case.
Nice maple case. I have ever only seen one for sale so it seems sort of rare.

It reminds me of some Etna radios (made for Walgreens) and other mysterious off brands. Maybe manufactured by Clinton. Anyway a dial like that and eye tube makes a winner. If the case is nice a bonus. Is it transformer powered, ballast, AC/DC?

Never going find those around here.

It’s apparently transformerless and uses a ballast. I have a schematic. I’ll study that while I finish this other project
