That is one of the most beautiful pieces of audio preservation I have ever seen. The cabinet alone is priceless!

Wow, quality! The sound is superb and the way that amplifier looks underneath, neat tag boards instead of the usual tangle of components.

Sadly here in the USA, AM radio stations (middle-wave) broadcasts are mostly talk radio. There are a few exceptions in some localities though. This radio's quality of construction reminds me of Capehart and E. H. Scott radios of the 1930s and 1940s. The DRG radio's high quality construction allows for restoration that works well and will survive for decades to come. It would probably be a good idea to acquire some replacement tubes and store them in a box inside the cabinet for the future. Congratulations on a great job of restoration!

A pleasure to see one restored and not fall into the hands of those who would gladly butcher it for the amplifier and output triodes.

DRG name still carries the catchet of a quality brand for those who remember them of old, this clearly demonstrates that quality both in sound and construction. Truly superb

Great job , I have a very late one of these , a 1046G/3 which indicates the final version from around 1950 , to incorporate a Garrard deck with 3 speeds so it didn't become obsolescent overnight with the recently invented 33 1/3 and 45 vinyl discs in The States.

Great job. I am the kind of person that loves a magic eye tube, so I am sad that was not working better. I bet it has some volume :)

I recently built a 6 valve am radio from scratch and included a magic eye because I too love them.

Fantastic sounding gram, nice work! Though that mid-70s BSR P128 deck looks awful, it doesn't match. Plus, if the owner has 45s and 78s, an autochanger is pretty much essential or you'll be standing next to the thing to change records the whole time. If it were mine, I would put in a Garrard RC120 or BSR UA14 if height allowed.

I'm totally thrilled to hear this RDG; the bass is killer, even on my $15.oo "Voz" headphones I got at C.Crane Radio in Fortuna, California 😍

How much would a completely restored one cost with an original deck ? (Were the original ones a steel needle on the tone arm pick-up) ?
