vintage EDISON R-6 CONSOLE RADIO - Repaired & WORKING GREAT ON AM - good sound

Description

Working  EDISON R-6  CONSOLE RADIO FOR SALE
LOCAL PITTSBURGH PICK-UP ONLY
HERE'S A WONDERFUL EDISON RADIO IN FABULOUS  WORKING CONDITION.  THE RADIO HAS BEEN REBUILT BY ONE OF THE BEST "OLD RADIO" TECHS IN PITTSBURGH.  TURN THE TUNING  DIAL AND GET LOTS OF NEAR AND FAR AM STATIONS.  THE TREBLE / BASS RESPONSE WORKS WELL ... SO DOES THE NEAR / FAR STATION KNOB.
THIS EDISON  SOUNDS GREAT --- NICE AND FULL AND GOOD VOLUME TOO.   LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF THE SPEAKER --- NO RIPS, CRACKS, HOLES OR REPAIRS --- IT LOOKS LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY.
THE CABINET HAS A FLAW ON THE FRONT LEFT CORNER.  APPARENTLY SOMEONE LET SOMETHING DRIP ON THAT CORNER .... AND NOW THE VENEER IS PUCKERED A BIT.   THERE IS ALSO A STAIN UNDER THE FLAWED AREA WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THE LAST GALLERY PHOTO.   I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THE STAIN CAN BE COVERED SUCCESSFULLY WITH WINSOR & NEWTON'S COTMAN WATER COLOR.  I JUST HAVE TO FIND THE CORRECT SHADE.
ONE OTHER FLAWED AREA IS THE BOTTOM OF THE FOUR LEGS.  EACH LEG IS  ROUNDED.  EACH LEG HAS A SMALL SLIVER THAT WAS ORIGINALLY GLUED ON.   THOSE SMALL SLIVERS HAVE FALLEN OFF.  I HAVE THREE OF THEM AND WILL WOOD GLUE THEM BACK ON.  THE FOURTH AREA HAS ALREADY BEEN COVERED WITH THE WATERCOLOR PAINT AND LOOKS FINE.   See the 3rd last gallery photo for a front and back view of the "sliver".
ONE FINAL NOTE:   THE PHOTOS WERE DONE OUTSIDE ON A SUNNY DAY.  THE CONSOLE WAS ON A WHITE SHEET THAT REFLECTED THE GREEN GRASS IN FRONT OF THE CONSOLE.   THE PHOTOS SHOW THE CONSOLE TO BE A BIT GREENER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS.
CONDITION:  GREAT WORKING RADIO.  CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A 90 YEAR OLD RADIO COULD SOUND THIS GOOD.
ONE OF THE BEST WE HAVE EVER HAD.
THIS ITEM IS LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY.   OUR LOCATION IS A FEW MILES EAST OF  EXIT 57 ON THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE --- VERY CLOSE TO PITTSBURGH.  THE PICK-UP WILL BE AT THE RT 22 SELF STORAGE AREA ON RT. 22.    WE WILL BE GLAD TO HOLD THIS ITEM FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.  WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
