 (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a rare set shrouded in mystery. It appeared under several different brands, from General, to Lafayette, to Zephyr. It is basically the Clinton model 818SF with the addition of a bank of push button presets. Typical of Chicago "Plant A" sets. It has seven tubes + ballast and three bands. The strange thing is when I received the set, the push-button bank wasn't connected to anything, and there is no schematic showing this chassis with them! But it is a factory installation. I was able to hook it up but no guarantees you'll be able to set the trimmers. It's more for looks (plus it boosts the antenna signal). The chassis has been gone through with all new capacitors, NOS ballast, Rectifier, output tube and magic green eye tube, All others tested strong. It receives all of my local stations with its attached wire antenna connected to an external antenna source. Features a built in RCA jack and toggle switch for use with external audio devices for more options beyond AM radio (in lieu of my usual 3.5mm aux cord). The cabinet was completely refinished using multiple toners and topped with a spray of clear enamel for sheen and durability. The original dial cover is still clear but has a small 3/16" diameter hole in the upper corner that looks like it may have been put in at the factory to get the lens to conform to the bezel. 18"W x 10-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D.
