Get your tires installed and take home a radio to boot. Firestone sold radios and I have read also appliances and TVs in the tire stores after the war. 5 Tube table top model with broadcast and shortwave bands.

Have done at least 6 of these so far with one waiting for a repro dial glass, all given away as gifts to friends. Try to pick them up when they are found as they are a nice looking radio. If the dial glass is in good shape we’ll leave it, otherwise get a reproduction. Who wouldn’t want a working Firestone Tire and Rubber Company radio from the 40’s.

As you can see the dial glass is original
I will scan and add the manual when I have some time.
This was just finished a few weeks ago
This one has a reproduction dial glass
