I am sure that the engineer that designed both of these early 30s radios thought that function was preferred over form. And, after a while, the off-center dial and knobs don't look as odd as they do upon first impression.
Clarion AC61 and Clarion AC70
Clarion AC61 and Clarion AC70
Both of these radios are from 1931. The AC61 has 6 tubes and the AC70 has 7. They are both seriously large and heavy even by 1931 standards.
As you can see the cabinet for the AC61 is almost finished (or refinished). I have cleaned up the chassis which is in great shape except for the replacement power transformer. I need to find an original one, good or bad, but the one that is there now can't stay,
The AC71 cabinet only needs some trim made and a new finish. However the chassis and speaker are missing.
So I you have a power transformer for the 61 or a chassis for the 70 just laying around, let us know. They are easy to ID with the off-center dial.
