Mini Tombstone and Jackson Bell

Click to enlarge in new windowA mini Tombstone from around 1934. It is about 9" high by 7" wide by about 6" deep. I believe it is a Westinghouse product with 4 tubes plus a ballast tube.

The second radio is my Jackson Bell Model 62 Catheral from 1931. Called The "Peacock" or "Swan" because of the design on the speaker grill. It has 6 vacuum tubes. (I put these two together to show the size difference).

There is storage in the cabinet for my Edison Cylinder records as well as magazines on it's bottom shelf. Considering it's age, it is in super shape.
