  • "RADIOLETTE" 5-VALVE TABLE MODEL 29

    A 5-valve All-Electric, Reflez Superheterodyne, giving most efficient performance and very pleasing tone. Shows the latest A.W.A. Rotovisor dial, and features include a distinctly new modern cabinet in full-polished "Radelec," with a metal escutcheon and silver silk fret, making a delightful contrast to the lustrous black surface. Automatic, finely graded Volume Control. Cadmium-plated chassis finished in two-tone iridescent lacquer and many other refinements. A very neat, compact and really beautiful little Set for all broadcast reception.

    Made in Australia.

    AWA (Australia) produced a series of Bakelite Empire State radios between 1934 and 1938.

    Radiolette models R28, R29,  R30, R31, R31A, R32, R37, R37A, R37B, R37C & Radiola  R48 &  R48G

    Empire State was not the official AWA name for the classic Art Deco Bakelite Radiolette but due to their popularity among worldwide collectors they are now known colloquially as the AWA Radiolette, Empire State Series of radios.
