Chicago Plant A Radio (1938)
Chicago was America's hub when it came to building radios. There were several fairly anonymous builders, including the Plant A outfit.

Crosley 617 "Dynatrol" Chairside (1937)
This is a really scarce unit. Crosley only used the Dynatrol name in 1937, and the only visual reference I could find was a tombstone. Mirror dial, six tubes, and unusual styling. Electronically restored with my 90 day warranty. Just a beauty of a radio. 20"H x 20"W x 11"D.
$895.00. (1100180)

Crosley 66TC "American Overseas" (1946)
Huge dial is this model's claim to fame. Good sized, at 16"W x 10"H x 8"D. Beautiful cabinet; radio has been restored inside and out. The original, amazingly clear dial lens does have a few flaws, overall, not detracting.
$545.00. (1100220)

Detrola 134 (1938)
I was fortunate to find another one of these in great condition. BC/SW radio, which is distinguished by being one of the very first makers to introduce the new "plastic" components with wood cabinets. The knobs and bezel are early Plaskon, are flawless, and have a veined marble quality. Finished in gloss. Chassis has been restored, as well. Beautiful radio. Petite at 13"W x 8"H x 7"D.
$545.00. (1100133)
|
|
|
|
Detrola 136 Early (1937)
The familiar dial with an earlier style cabinet. I was unable to locate a visual record of the cabinet type anywhere. The cabinet does have stylist traits that Detrola used over a span of years. Restored inside and out, with my usual warranty. Not suitable for the auxiliary input mod. 13"W x 12"H x 7"D.
$765.00. (1100210)

|
Detrola 139E (1938)
Big dial, eye tube, petite cabinet, with its original back. Restored inside and out, has an aux input already installed, suitable for an iPod®. My 90 day warranty applies, as usual. Detrola had the market cornered on looks for awhile! 15"W x 12"H x 8"D.

Detrola 139EA "Ebony" (1937)
True ebony cabinets are very scarce; anyone can paint a cabinet black. This one is the real deal, and I saved a few images when I stripped it. The veneer used is an inexpensive pine on the sides, and birch for the main body. Both very tight grain, and generally unsuited by the standards of the day for stain. This one retains its original grille cloth; however, it is very fragile. It has been restored in and out, and an auxiliary input suitable for an iPod® has been installed. It too, comes with my 90 day warranty. 14"W x 13"H x 8"D.
$1,595.00. (1100209)

Detrola 146 (1938)

General Electric L653 by Ingraham (1946)
In 1946, GE continued the tradition of a radio as a fine piece of furniture, in the face of the cheaper Bakelite and metal cabinets starting to dominate the radio marketplace. GE turned to the Ingraham Co. to provide the traditional quality for the post War era. This is an AM only result of that marketing decision. Beautiful walnut, with a contrasting burl panel, in a sleek, modernistic design. Radio has been restored electronically, and plays well with good reception with its internal antenna loop. Its original back is present as well, but a bit worn at the bottom.
$325.00. (1100162)

Made by Detrola, this unit is a virtual clone of the famous "Pee Wee." Produced in solid walnut, very petite at 8"W x 5"H x 5"D. Originally a "curtain burner," we have corrected that to have a safe unit to play at will. Restored inside and out, and my warranty applies. Beautiful little radio.

Silvertone 6435 (1940)
Beautiful walnut on this flawless cabinet. The radio has an internal antenna, and its original back is present with minor damage to a lower corner.
Great performer up here in the woods of Wisconsin. It has a more restrained style than I usually go for, but the all walnut cabinet is beautiful. Usual warranty, and an auxiliary input maybe added for an additional $75. A lot of radio for the price. 16"W x 14"H x 10"D.
$495.00. (1100223)

Sparton 612 (1938)
Diminutive eye tube radio. Looks terrific, but deflection of the tube is not terrific even after replacement of its 1 ohm resistor. Bright green tube, with a 90 day warranty on the chassis work. Completely refinished. One of the smaller attempts at eye tube incorporation I've seen. 10"W x 8"H x 6"D.

Universal Radio (1938)
Product of one of the many firms producing radios in Chicago to be badged and sold by others. This unit featured an early push button tuning (with the sixth button being set to neutral to engage the tuning dial), that is complete with 1930's Chicago era radio call signs. Restored with a bright eye tube and is a real screamer of a set. My 90 warranty applies, as usual. An aux input may be added for an additional $75.00. Medium sized at 20"W x 11"H x 9"D.

Zenith 7-S-232AT Tombstone (1938)
Back on the Attic; buyer was unable to complete purchase. This is the export version of this famous Zenith. It featured the ability to select from four different line voltages to power the radio. It has an over-sized transformer, with its exclusive to the model, black crinkle painted speaker. The chassis and speaker are in exceptionally clean condition; it has been completely serviced, and I offer a six month warranty on it. Complete with its 6T5 eye tube, rated at about 50% strength. It's a treat to see how responsive the tube is. Also featured is its original grille cloth, which is unlike the modern replica. Plays very well, and does need a short antenna. Three bands with great SW. 24"H x 18"W x 12"D.
