Belmont 638 "Rabbit" (1940)
Belmont's "Rabbit" is well loved by collectors. Introduced in 1940, this radio was popular enough that it was brought back after the war as model 6D111 with no significant changes. One of its unique features is its fully mechanical pushbutton tuning (no dirty contacts to deal with), similar to that often used in vintage car radios. Kudos to the previous restorer who did a fantastic job painting the cabinet. It looks great! The repro back and twisted pair power cord are also his work; I upgraded the electronic restoration with new resistors, a new tube, and a full alignment (it was previously fully recapped). It performs, looks, and sounds like brand new. Lighted dial. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D.
$250.00. (1310159)

Candle ATR-80A (1961)
Cute salmon-colored eight-transistor radio with original box, instructions, leather case, earphone, earphone pouch, and strap. It is all original and works very well. The leather case has somewhat self-destructed over the years, and the plastic case of the radio has two minor imperfections: a chip where the back engages the top, and a short crack in the middle of the top of the back (both defects visible in top/rear picture). The clear dial cover also has some residue that is visible in the front view. This model is unusual in that it can also operate on AC power; however, the original AC power cord is missing. 6"W x 3-3/4"H x 1-1/2"D.
$95.00. (1310158)

HoneyTone Tape Recorder (early 1960s)
This early Japanese reel-to-reel tape recorder comes with its original box, microphone, earphone, and even the original batteries. It is somewhat operable, able to record and playback from a line-level source (the original crystal microphone no longer works). It is beautifully clean, more or less in brand new condition. A recorder like this may remind you of "Mission/Impossible" without the self-destruct feature! 9"W x 2-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D.
$75.00. (1310157)
