This atomic age relic has been cleaned, polished, repainted and repaired to function as it did in 1959. It's solid and heavy with a very unique, retro design - built like a '59 Chevy - even has some chrome pitting! The 3586 is a "heavy duty", 10 tube, stereophonic radio originally paired with an optional separate speaker / amplifier unit. This mid-size radio measures: 18″ long x 9″ Deep x 8.6″ High.
The case was cleaned and hand polished and still shows modest signs of wear and tear as expected for survivingalmost 65 years! All other exterior parts and trim have been thoroughly cleaned and polished but not refinished. The speaker grill cloth was replaced with a period correct complementary fabric. This radio makes an excellent display piece and sounds as well as it looks!
The chassis was removed from the case and all parts were well inspected and tested. Any defective capacitors were replaced, any resistors out of specifications were replaced and any weak or dead tubes replaced. The panel lights were replaced with working versions. Push button controls have been cleaned and lubricated. They all respond well. The power cord has been replaced with a modern equivalant.
