This vintage Wards Airline 74WG-1510A 6 tube AM radio is a true treasure from the past. With its ivory plastic cabinet and 1930-49 time period, it is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This radio was made in the United States.
The cabinet looks like it spent many years of being listened to in a shop with rough areas and a couple cracks. The knobs look in fair condition and seem to operate. The back cover looks in good condition. Wouldn't power on and found it to be missing at least two tubes.
