EGM Deco Radio Chrome + Onyx - Stunning

Great Art Deco Circular Mexican Made Radio

Ref: RA938

Deco chromed metal circular EGM radio that pivots in its chrome, wood and onyx base/cradle.  This seldom seen radio was made in the 1940's by Electronica General de Mexico in Mexico City. This model is one of two models made by this company which I have seen. This solidly built radio with its chromed metal casing and cradle attached to a wooden and beautiful veined onyx base weighs around 30lbs.  The geometric grille cutouts remind me of an Aztec design. 

This radio was recently re-chromed back to its original state and looks wonderful. Onyx base has beautiful veins of green, white and amber; it is in perfect condition with no cracks or chips. Wood part of the base is also in great as found condition. Retains the original matching stamped louvered metal back.  The grille cloth is a period correct replacement. 

The radio measures 7" wide by 17 high by 6.25" deep. This set is sold "as-is + untested", the chassis seems complete. Set is being sold as a "non-working" vintage electronic device that should be gone over by a qualified technician.
