I recently obtained a beatuiful floor model radio. I am unsure of the age. Model number is 62-401. The sticker inside the cabinet states: 11 tube all-wave high fidelity radio. W.G.series A12 made in Chicago,IL. Please tell me anything you know about this radio. I got it from my grandmothers house. I remember my grandfather listening to it as a child.

Hi Pamula

Information on your radio can be found here:

Your radio was made by Wells Gardner around 1938.

Pamela, if you're still reading shoot me an e-mail. I have one of what I think is the same radio. Does it happen to look anything similar to this?:

I'm only aware of one other example of this set besides my own.
