Revere Junior Cathedral Radio - c 1932

Vintage cathedral-style radios are very hard to find in South Africa so I consider myself fortunate to have discovered one in Cape Town recently - and a real gem it is too.

The radio is a rare c1932 Revere Junior cathedral in good condition with an original factory finish. The pleasing cabinet design is simple yet elegant with the original decorative escutcheon, wooden speaker grill pattern and original wooden knobs which add to the charm of this set from a bygone era.

All the electronic components are intact apart from a missing valve. Aside from a few minor chips and scratches with some damage to the speaker and grill cloth, the cathedral radio looks really good after an initial repair and clean-up, especially considering its been around for over 80 years!

The Revere Radio Corporation was situated in Ashland, Ohio, U.S.A. and produced radios from 1930 to 1932.
