Silvertone 6 volt farm radio

This is a Silvertone radio designed for the farm, before there was 110 volt power on the farms.
It runs on a 6 volt battery,which would be the same as your 6 volt car battery.

Back then most cars were 6 volt,so you could use the battery for the radio
and when it went down in power put it in the car to charge it up.
On this radio I changed the capacitors and cleaned the controls.

I redid the cabinet in toned lacquer. The radio has the original knobs and grill cloth..
The radio also has an eye tube ,but it is very dim. Eye tubes are hard to get these days,
especially one for a farm set.
