Restored but Modified antique radio

bobradio.jpg (13060 bytes)for a BIG time radio star Bob Collins, morning man at WGN Radio, AM 720, in Chicago.  Unfortunately "Uncle Bobby" Passed away in a terrible airplane accident before his time.    Bob and Chris brought this to us with the idea of having it modified for the "powder room" for  guest as they entered their new house.  We tried to keep as much of the radio as authentic as possible.  Special provisions had to be made to allow for the sink and plumbing while still allowing the radio to function.  This was achieved by adding 9 inches to the depth of the radio.  We duplicated molding to match the original and a new top was specially constructed to prevent any moisture from entering the main cabinet which would have damaged the original radio.  The Speaker's grill work was also modified so the unit could be mounted to the wall while still permitting access to the plumbing.

Uncle Bob "Bobby" Collins was a good friend and he is missed.
