American Bosch 670T
1937
United American Bosch Corporation,
3664 Main Street,
Springfield, Massachusetts USA

    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.
