NOTE: I apologize to the two bidders prior to ending this listing the first time as ebay had a glitch and none of my international shipping info showed up. So now it's been relisted with all the international info included. Thanks ADR

1940 Mohawk Crosley, Model 11B

For your consideration is a Prewar 1940 Mohawk Crosley Tube Radio, Model 11B(Made in Canada). This model is fairly hard to find and like many of the Canadian wood models I've restored it is a beautifully crafted piece. When I purchased this radio the original finish was all but gone and it was not working,so it has gone through a complete restoration(2 weeks).

CABINET FINISH: As a professional antique refinisher I offer 4 different types of top coats to my local customers...all which are hand-rubbed. Considering the beautiful solid Mahogany cabinet on this radio, I decided to refinish the cabinet using the same process I use on gun stocks,guitar bodies,& antique furniture. This process consist of 5 coats of  hand-rubbed semi-gloss linseed oil varnish which requires polishing between each coat. Unlike my lacquer or tung-oil process,this type of finish brings out the natural wood grain color & depth while retaining a very nice antique look. The photos just don't do it justice as this cabinet looks fantastic in person with a beautiful rich glow.

ELECTRONICS: All capacitors including electrolytics have been replaced,several tubes,new dial bulb,NOS Grille Cloth(not reproduction),new dial cover from my molding dept.,new plug/cord,felt washers(behind the knobs),soft pads(bottom of cabinet feet),custom made 1/8" thick backing(not the thin cheesy one's),full alignment done,& all moving parts lubricated. Both the AM & SW bands sound excellent with clear strong reception(long antenna wire included for SW reception). And although it's hard to see from the photos, this art deco style cabinet has tapered sides which give it a very cool pyramid look to it and the original swirl bakelite knobs add a very nice touch as well. As with all of my restored tube radios it comes with a 90 day electronic warranty. With the holidays approaching this classic radio would surely make a nice gift for that special someone. No reserve...so good luck bidding!
 
Thank you for looking & may God bless our men & women serving around the world!

3. BAKELITE CABINET'S- I have 20 years experience in professional polishing & Antique Restoration. Bakelite cabinets are taken through a 3 step process that takes a minumum of 12 hours and up to 2 days depending on the condition of the cabinet. No Coatings are used on the bakelite to enhance the finish.I do not use Poly's, Wax,Simi-chrome,Novus,Glay-Zit,Sprays,etc,in my restoration process. All detailed cleaning,polishing,& buffing is done by hand just the way I was taught by a professional polisher 25 years ago. This process takes many long hours and great attention to detail, but the outcome is worth it because the result is a beautifully restored cabinet with nothing but a pure bakelite shine!
