Grunow Model 1291 Teledial Console Radio

The Grunow Model 1291 Teledial Console Radio from 1937 is one of the most iconic high-end Art Deco radios of its era. Its distinctive “Teledial” feature allows the listener to tune in stations using a rotary dial, much like a telephone—a design that was both innovative and stylish for its time. Known affectionately as the “Shirley Temple Radio,” this model became famous through an advertising campaign featuring the young star, making it not only a technical marvel but also a piece of cultural history.

We have added a 1/8th inch aux input so you can connect to an external device or Bluetooth transmitter.  This will allow you an unlimited choice of content, which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smartphone, iPod, or record player. Access your old vinyl, or log on to  Pandora, Apple Music, or the playlist on your computer to provide the tunes and use the Bluetooth connection to bring the warm, bright, analog sound of a tube amplifier to any music or recordings you choose. The quality of the sound is excellent – just ask any guitarist, since these kinds of tube-based amps are still being made and used today. You will have the best of “digital” and “analog” combined.
