It’ s a beautiful treasure chest with the radio inside that switch on when you open the cover.

“Lo Scrigno” is a superheterodyne set and can receive the medium waves only.

 This set was found in excellent condition, wasn’t never restored, the valves are still the ones used when the radio was sold, except 47 which probably has been replaced.
The argument "valves", in this set, is very interesting.
In 1933 there was a trade agreement between the American  RCA and the Italian Radiomarelli, also reflected by the publicity at the time.
For this reason, in this radio, are used all the RCA Radiotron tubes.
