~ 1941 TROUBADOR BAKELITE TUBE RADIO - MODEL 2533 ~

For your consideration is another hard to find Gem offered to you from theRadio-Cafe.This gorgeous 1941 Troubador Model 2533 known as the \"Bullet\" has been fully restored inside & outto excellent playing condition just waiting for a new owner.The Extreme Jet Age Design cabinet with large wrap-around shark like fins, gorgeous gold prism foil dial scale, gum ball knobs, combined with a beautiful marbled bakelite cabinet make this set a highly sought after one by collectors. Like many Zenith and Belmont models this one was way ahead of its time when it comes to Jet Age design.Radios like this do not come around very often and especially in this kind of condition. I took many pics in different light to showcase the beautiful marble swirl bakelite color, so depending where it\'s displayed you can enjoy a lighter or darker view.

Thebeautiful marbled bakelitecrack & chip free cabinet has been professionally polished with my ALL natural process using NO car polish wet look tricks,caked on junk,sprays, poly coats,saturation tactics to make the bakelite appear darker,or any other artificial enhancers. My photos represent the accurate bakelite color in different lighting with NO software touchups!It takes many hours through several stages to complete this natural process but when it\'s all said and done what you get is a pure natural bakelite shine just how it looked from the factory. I go the extra mile and make sure every square inch is cleaned using special hand-made pic tools, toothbrushes, and Q-tips(no black sharpie marker tricks used here folks). I\'ve been doing natural bakelite polishing the same way for 20 years now and do notcut corners or take short cuts with my cleaning & polishing method.. nothing but lots of time and plenty of elbow grease.

This hard to find Troubador Gem is ready to be displayed and played!

Keep in mind, this antique vacuum tube radio is not a boom box,solid state radio,or any other modern type radio. It uses vacuum tube technology which can produce audio interference caused by many different things such as florescent lighting, energy saving bulbs,kitchen appliances,etc,etc... so placement of the radio is very important to avoid any possible audio interference. And like many other electronic devices,.. when not in use the radio should be unplugged to prevent any damage during electrical storms.

~ RADIO-CAFE~

I\'ve been collecting & restoring tube radios since 1987,and have sold well over 500 tube radios world wide. I spent 20 years as a Machine Specialist in the Aerospace & Injection Molding fields. Having this type of background has given me the experience & high standards that I try to maintain in my radio restoration work as well. My experience includes: custom wood refinishing,all natural bakelite polishing,electronic restoration,and radio dial cover molding. With my radio descriptions you get a factual description and I prefer to stay away from the sugar coated phrases such as... \"near mint\",\"normal age related wear\",\"museum quality\",\"doesn\'t get any better\",\"completely flawless\",best of the best\"unmolested\",\"mint\", or all the bla bla the reader has to weed through before even getting to the actual item description. My item descriptions always starts right at the top and with the important restoration details listed below it.

A special thanks to all of my customers and fellow radio restorers who I\'ve had the pleasure of doing business with throughout the last 25 years and to all of our service men & women who I proudly support in helping to keep this great country free!It gives me great satisfaction to be able to bring these wonderful antique tube radios back to life for future generations to enjoy!Thanks for looking and may God Bless our Troops serving around the world!
