Plus Model offers some of those little extra details in their EASY Line series.

The three table-top radios come on two resin pour-plugs inside a clear plastic hanging ‘envelope’ with a semi-stiff paper backing and the black and white picture.

The Review

There are three different styled table-top radios; small, medium, and large. The casting is very sharp and well defined. The level of detail on the cases and knobs is very nice. The screen detail (that which would cover the actual speaker(s)) is also very finely done.

The pour-plugs are on the bottom of the radios which will certainly make removal and cleanup easy with a razor-saw. There is no flash on any part or portion of the radios. Exceptional casting.

A quick online image search of “antique radios” turned up a variety of similar styled radios though I could not find any exact matches. The styling does appear to match many of the table-top radios from the 30’s and 40’s. I would recommend, with no painting instructions, to utilize an image search to get a good idea of the coloring. I could well see painting the cases in mahogany, oak, teak, or walnut shades with tans, blacks, or browns for the highlights, knobs, dial faces and/or the screens.

With no wire provided for the power cord, I would recommend a wire approximately .010 inch which takes a #78 drill bit, painted black or brown, to replicate this.

Conclusion

This is a very nice and useful set of table-top radios. Did I mention the excellent casting? I can envision these sitting on a counter or table in a building, or perhaps one lying in amongst some rubble.
