1946 Olympic Model 6-501
After WWII many new radio companies were formed. Olympic was one of them. Pictured above was one of thier first models the 6-501. There was apentup demand for new radios after the war so new companies tried to cash in on this. Like back in the 1920s many would not last long but some of the new companies did.
