Sparton (Sparks-Withington) Model 507 Mantel Radio (1936/37)
This rarely seen Sparton model 507 compact
radio was introduced in the second half of
1936 as the follow on to the previous season's
model 506 compact. Other than a new dial, the
chassis is identical to that used in the 506.
The radio's two vertical chrome stripes and its
stepped, tiered top provide interest to what
would have otherwise been a rather plain and
uninspiring cabinet.
