The
670T, sister radio to the Westinghouse WR-214, was the largest table
model radio American Bosch offered in it's 1937 radio line. The
same chassis was used in the American Bosch 670C console model.
The most noticeable feature of this radio is the large, side lit, glass
dial which features four bands in various colors. There's a color
wheel in front of the shadow-tuning indicator that causes the indicator
to illuminate in a particular color according to which frequency band
the radio is switched to. Today this radio is considered to be
quite rare which is ironic when compared to the next model down, the
660T, which shows up every so often in radio ads, auctions and swap
meets. I bought this radio from an ad in the Antique Radio
Classified magazine in the early 1990s.

Each
band on the dial is etched into the glass and filled in with colored
pigment. When the dial is lit, the bands glow with neon like
iridescence.
