I have had this radio for about three years and a good friend of mine wanted it , so I finally broke down and sold it to him. He has bought about eight radios from me in the past.
 It is a Marconi model 138 and the photos show the condition it was in when I got it.
I could definitely see the potential under the flacking lacquer . I redid the chassis and restored the cabinet.
I really didn't want to sell it but I  needed the room for my new rogers model 70 [Buckingham].here are some
photos. Dan in Calgary
