Radiola - RA133U Tube radio

This sleek French tabletop radio has been fully restored to a device suitable for everyday use.
Bakelite case and buttons deeply cleaned and protected with a glossy high-gloss lacquer (maintenance-free).
Given the poor condition of the original electronics and the expected subpar performance, it was replaced with a 2.5 Watt tube amplifier, driven by either:
A solid state FM tuner with very good reception on FM (87.5-108 MHz) with wire antenna;
A Bluetooth receiver (not for HiFi).
Since it is a device directly fed from the mains (220-240VAC), there are no external inputs or outputs.
Outside the chassis, three tubes and the output transformer are all new components.
The defective speaker was replaced by a modern new unit.
The transmitter scale shows signs of age.
The bottom/back wall is not original.
Replace scale lighting with LED E10 6VAC/DC.
Pipes: CBL1(NOS)-ECH3-ECF1-CY2 (testing +90%).
