Berkshire

Berkshire - Manufacture and date unknown

Restored to working condition. Manufacturer and date unknown.
Tubes used: 12Z3, 6D6, 6C6 and 43. Has resistor-line cord.

Here is the radio as I received it, front view.
	And side view. A little ruff, but not in too bad of shape.
	Check out the station selector, 0-100. And the volumn control. How about the zeros.
Here is a back view, and the back is still there! A lot of times it's gone.
	Here it is the first time I took the back off. Wow that looks pretty clean in there!
A couple of views after I first removed it from the cabinet. That speaker looks new! Overall it's in real nice shape.

Underneath before and after re-capping

Looks like some one had removed the wet electrolytic cap and replaced it with one underneath at some point.

And here it is with the case redone.

Well I recapped it and refinished the cabinet. When connected to an
antenna I receive the sweet sound of music. Just as this radio was meant
to play. I believe this type is called a mantel radio. With it having a
resistor line cord I guess it dates to around the mid to later 1930's?
So who manufactured it? What year was it sold?

Hey, check this out! I just saw this on e-bay.
A bit ratty, but the same style as the Berkshire!
Only the name on it is Jefferson. So these were
sold under a couple of different names.
