The Belmont "Streamliner"
This is a 1946 BELMONT 6D111, The Belmont "Streamliner". It is one the most prized iconic art deco radios out there. First made in 1940 as the model 638, it was re-introduced after WW2 in 1946 as the 6D111. This is another one that has gotten Third Bay Radio's full restoration and it shows. This is one sharp looking radio now and is ready for use.
Work Done
Resistors have been checked and all capacitors have been replaced. A new polarized power plug has been installed for safety. Tubes tested strong and chassis cleaned and polished. Fresh bright gold Belmont logo decal applied correctly. Dial face is in good shape along with a clear dial shield freshly polished. Original push buttons and knobs to set just polished clean. Original back with built in antenna to set re-assembled.
Good Points on radio
NO cracks in case and has original ivory paint job. Original push buttons, push button labels, knobs, and speaker are all in great shape. I did alot of cleaning and polishing to get this radio to shine again but it came out beautiful and it was worth the effort. It plays great and is highly sensitive with its original antenna. The capacitor on the back antenna is a new capacitor hidden inside an old casing to keep the nostalgic look. Capacitors, power cord, and the belmont logo are the only things new to this set. Everything else is original.
Bad Points on radio
Minor nicks and dings in finish. Metal chassis has blemishes. Speaker had small tear and was repaired with speaker glue. Cardboard back is warn around mounting holes so washers were used to make functional again. Bottom sticker is present but not in good shape. PLEASE see pictures on right.

I stand behind my work and have a 30 day warrantee on labor NOT PARTS. That means if it breaks in 30 days I will do my best to repair it and make you a happy satisfied customer. All radios are thoroughly tested before sent out. This warrantee does NOT cover parts and shipping costs. Keep it honest with me and I will do my best to please you. Sorry but all sales are final. Thank you for your time.
