Ultra Tiger Radio made in Erskine Road, Chalk Farm, London N.W.3, England in 1933. Quite an imposing set in original unrestored, rather time distressed condition. A 2 band, MW and LW 4 valve TRF made with Art Deco influenced design. I bought it at an auction sale and then not long after electrically restored it. It needed a fair amount of effort to get it working again. Two of the front end coupling coils had green spot and were open circuit. The speaker coil was broken and its matching transformer missing. It needed a number of capacitors replaced. The paxolin band switch has bent through being left for many years in one position making contacts poor. I had to make a back cover for it and have yet to start restoring the cabinet and replace the grill cloth so what you see here is 77 years of life, worts and all. It works quite well and picked up my wartime AM transmission along with a good number of standard transmissions. It has a nice warm glow to the dial and is fun to fire up.

  • MP3 Dongle just tune your radio in to it.

  • Okay, it picked up YOUR AM broadcast, which I'm assuming means you are into amateur radio, and you yourself are broadcasting old recordings from YOUR AM station...sorry I'm taking the fun out of it :(

  • So your saying this radio is playing broadcasts from 70 years ago by itself? This wasn't being broadcast by some station?

  • Sounding good great work bringing this radio back too life like too see it when its all done
