Radio and Phonograph
Howard Radio Co., Chicago, IL
Circa 1946
This fusion of a radio and a phonograph stands as a prime illustration of post-war consumer electronics, marking a transition from wartime manufacturing to peacetime production within the industry. Crafted by the renowned Howard Radio Company of Chicago and recognized for its excellence and forward thinking, this model epitomized the period's movement toward consolidating entertainment technologies into compact tabletop units. Positioned on the front case, from left to right, are three knobs: the phono-radio switch, the volume control on-off switch and the radio tuning control.
