This is fabulous and rare Grunow model 508, with an exotic, large CUBE cabinet. Six tube, three band radio. It was made as an AC/DC convertible, I have removed the DC 6-volt car battery capability for safety. Cube radios are highly desirable by most collectors. This one is larger than most, 14-3/4"W x 13-1/2"H x 11-3/4"D.

The radio has a very large and brightly lit 7-inch black dial, that is clear and very impressive. The dial is an exact reproduction of the original. The dial cover is new as well.

This 1938 radio was manufactured by General Household Utilities, Co. Chicago Ill. for Grunow.

The cabinets’ book matched walnut veneer is beautifully restored with a great lacquer finish and toned lacquer top. The grille cloth is a period reproduction. The knobs are the originals. The Superheterodyne chassis is a performer and plays full dial scale, loud and clear. The radio has had a complete recap electronic restoration - all the electrolytic caps were replaced with new production parts. All the paper foil capacitors were replaced as well. The radio has very nice reception with no hum. An outside antenna is necessary on old tube radios or a long wire. A new power cord was installed for safety.
