Valiant NT-1200 (1960s)

Magnavox AM-801 (1960)

Zenith Royal 500H (1962)
A nice looking white 500H which are the most powerful radios of the Royal 500 family. They were even more powerful then the ones built afterward to 1965. This one is premo because of its beautiful case with no cracks or missing pieces. They have a large speaker that takes up the whole radio front and besides having eight transistors, the electrolytic caps are double in value from the early 500's. More power. They come in cream, black and two tone blue. I replaced all electrolyte and wax capacitors. It been cleaned and aligned to play like new. The battery box is clean. I include the batteries with it so it plays out of the box. 6"H x 3-1/2"W x 1-3/4"D. $155.00. (0040551)

Zenith Royal 7000 Trans-Oceanic (1969)
A pristine all original Zenith Transoceanic 7000 made in 1969 (one of the first 7000's made). This is the best 7000 I have seen. It came to me with a little dust on the inside. The handle and the top are in excellent condition. The sides are in great shape. Inside the case a little wear around the dial knob. Battery box is pristine. The top looks superb. It comes with a original log book and power cord. Most 7000's play great FM. About 10% play superior FM and this is one of them. There was very little alignment needed on this radio which probably means it was not played a lot. The 7000's built right after the 3000 and 1000 pick up better AM and shortwave than the later 70's 7000-1 or D7000Y. It is restored with all new electrolytic capacitors and some wax caps replacements. It was also cleaned, lubed and each band is aligned for peak performance to play like new. It comes with and original cord, original log book and battery plastic holders. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. 13"W x 9"H x 6-1/2"D. $495.00. (0040549)

Toho Denki Seiki (1970s)
The Toho Denki Seiko Yellow FM/AM Radio that came in different names and colors but they all had 15 Transistors and 12 Electrolyte capacitors. To tell you how good they play, my wife heard the first one (green) I restored and she wanted it. Her mother heard it play and wanted the yellow one. Her mother's brother heard hers and wanted one as well. So I never got to sell one. Amazing radio with AVC or Automatic Volume Control which is rare in small radios. More Transistors then a Zenith T/O 7000 and just as many electrolyte capacitors. It runs on four "AA" batteries which are included and you can plug a 6 volt AC charger in it as well. The 17-in antenna is straight and true. 7"H x 4"W x 1-1/4"D. Was $175.00, now $150.00. (0040548)

Emerson 888 Vanguard (1958)
This is a nice looking Black Emerson Vanguard 888 AM radio built in 1958. They are all awesome AM players. I worked on 1930's and 40's Emerson radios and they were well built with beautiful Ingraham cabinets. This cabinet is spectacular. For its size which is a little bigger than most pocket radios of that time. It components are at least five times as big as any other small radio I have seen and the case is built much thicker, thus a stronger case and is supposed to never break. It doesn't have any cracks or missing pieces but is does show some wear on the case. It is a radio with which very little will go wrong. It has eight transistors, five new electrolytics and one wax capacitor replacement. This radio uses four "AA" batteries. The last photo is a way to make it easier to load four "AA" batteries.

Regency TR-1G (1956)
The first ever transistor pocket radio made was the Regency TR-1 in 1954. This was followed by the TR-1G in 1956. They both have the same chassis but the 1G is modified some for better performance. According to brochures it could pick up 40 miles away. Back in the 1950s there were three or four AM stations within ten miles and five or six within 25 miles, it was a working radio. This is a restored TR-1G. The electrolytic capacitors were replaced and it was aligned for peak performance. Back in the 1956 it ran on a 22-1/2V battery which is not made today. So there are two 12V batteries in a small battery box that run these and TR-1's. The closest AM stations I am near are both 25 miles and the Regency TR-1G picks both of them up. At night it picks up a lot more AM stations. You won't see many first Regency radios playing because most collectors leave them untouched. My radios play. Buy a piece of history that works. 4-3/4"H x 2-3/4"W x 1-3/8"D. Was $375.00, now $325.00. (0040529)
