Radiomarelli - 9U65 真空管ラジオ

Rare Vintage Radiomarelli "Onorina" (RD 150) Tube Radio – Grained Brown Bakelite – Italy, 1948/1949 – Fully Restored & Working! A magnificent piece of Italian post-war design history: the Radiomarelli "Onorina" (Model RD 150). Manufactured in Milan around 1948/1949, this iconic midget radio features a beautiful, streamlined art-deco cabinet made of dark, richly grained brown bakelite. Radiomarelli named their premium compact radios after classic Italian names, and the Onorina is one of their most sought-after creations. This radio is unique because it underwent a complete and professional restoration a few years ago. Several critical components under the chassis have been replaced with high-quality modern equivalents to guarantee safe operation. The historic Italian FIVRE octal tubes (valves) are tested and in fully functional condition. Tested with variac. Originally built for the 110V Italian electrical grid, this unit comes equipped with a custom-built external step-down adapter box. This allows the radio to be plugged directly into any modern 220V–230V wall socket safely, without overheating. The potentiometer and band-switch have recently been serviced and cleaned for scratch-free operation. The bakelite cabinet is in excellent original condition with a deep, glossy finish and no cracks or major damages. The charming, illuminated slide-rule tuning dial on the right side remains crisp and perfectly legible. The original cardboard backplate is present and displays the authentic Italian factory labels, schematic diagrams, and markings. Tubes: 12SA7, 12SK7, 12SQ7, 35L6, 35Z5 (FIVRE) Will be shipped worldwide with the utmost care, shockproof packaging, and double-boxing.
