Very nice example and very reasonable price for a rebuilt one. I paid much more than that for mine several years ago and then had to get it rebuilt.

Good luck with your sale. Someone's going to get a nice piece.

Too bad I am in New Jersey - beautiful radio

One thing I forgot to mention is my tech who rebuilt this radio was not able to revive the 1930 power supply, so we substituted an Edison 1929 power supply, which is basically the same as the 1930 with two push-pull 45s and an 80 rectifier. The only difference is the method of connecting the receiver. The 1930 receiver is connected using a plug instead of connecting individual wires, so my tech made a socket to plug in the receiver.

This R-6 Edison radio has sold. Marc.
