Bendix 636 Bakelite Tabletop (1947)

I picked up this Bendix for $7 at an antique mall. The case was in very bad shape, but the radio did work! I liked the design, with a painted dial glass and maroon catalin knobs. Because it was such a basket case, the radio sat around for quite awhile until I finally got some ideas on how to restore it. For the whole story, read about the restoration of this radio.
