~ 1953 NORTHERN ELECTRIC TUBE RADIO - MODEL 5708 ~

Here's a tube radio you don't see very often.  1953 Northern Electric, Model 5708 with a painted bakelite cabinet and one very extreme auto design that will surely attract attention in any 50's collection! 

I'm up to my neck in projects so I'm letting this one go and sold as is in unrestored condition. The cord looks good but I get nothing when turned on. All tubes are there, clean rust free chassis and speaker looks good... great candidate for restoration! 

The cabinet is good with no cracks or chips and the paint job is nice for displaying but not a perfect high gloss. For some reason the color looks almost orange on my tablet, but the true color is a nice deep cardinal red... almost cherry red. 

It measures 12" wide x 6" tall x 5" deep and with the two runners on the bottom is has a nice stance with design in motion! Both original knobs turn properly and it has the original backing with the copper loop antenna attached to it on the inside.

Not an easy set to find and one of Northern Electrics coolest designed radios ever!
