Ballantine's Whisky Eight-Transistor Radio
A really nice novelty radio that works fine. These usually have the labels in poor condition; not this baby, it's grand. Label, "cap" and seal area very nice. Plays well. Uses four "AA" batteries (not included). Interior view shows it is clean and not corroded or water damaged. Add $12.50 for shipping to CONUS.
$80.00. (1400094)

Crosley 51 (1925)
Crosley made a ton of inexpensive radios that worked well and had some clever cost cutting ideas. This little two-tube regen uses a pair of coils that slide together with a front panel control for the regenerative coupling. All connections are on the front. Batteries, antenna, ground, head phones.
This one is in very nice condition with serial number tag under the lid, a pair of 201A tubes and original throughout. It is untested.

Crosley VI (1923)

This is in very good original condition with warranty card, serial number card, hookup diagrams in lid, Dept of Radio Engineering Approved tag on back. Untested.

Freed-Eisemann 30 (1926)
This is an unrestored Neutrodyne TRF six-tube set, vintage 1926. Missing two lower knobs and all tubes. Otherwise in good condition. Both tuners work. So crack out those 01A tubes and get her going! Nice sloped front. Heavy so shipping will reflect that. 19"W x 11"H x 10"D.
$75.00. (1400070)

Grunow 500 (1933)
One of the chrome grille beauties. Beautiful wood inlays on front, small tower cabinet; can fit on a mantle. Electrically, everything inside has been updated to poly/mylar caps, low noise resistors, higher voltage electrolytics. Performance on a short antenna wire is adequate for local stations, but a long wire is needed for distance reception. Remember this is an early superhet, 1933. Finish appears to have been redone quite some time ago and still displays nicely. The main feature is the lovely grille. Overall pleasing style and shape. A happy radio to look at! 14"H x 13"W x 6-1/2"D.

Motorola C34G Clock Radio
Very nice condition set. Are you tired of all the fancy clock radios that are hard to set, shut off and operate? Want a pleasant journey back to the 60's? This baby is it. 12" long, sleek and a really good performer. All cleaned inside and out, clock lubed, radio checked, new tubes where needed. No hum and a good set.

Steinite 261 (1928)
Early AC radio. Fred Stein had a booming business in Atchison, Kansas and my research shows he built the first commercially available AC (plug in) radio sets, (this one is 1928, most manufacturers started in 1929). This model 261 has a tag inside stating it was restored in 1986 by a man in Albuquerque NM (my birthplace) and all I had to do was clean it and install a set of good tubes. One photo shows current draw at 117VAC line voltage. I ran it last night for three hours. No issues. Tested on headphones and an A-K speaker. It requires a good long antenna to provide good reception. Just behind the volume control is a stepped switch that controls the antenna input. Headphone/speaker plugs on back, also a set of Phono plugs. Simple cabinet that is heavy, made of 1/2" solid wood and 1" solid wood front. Lighted dial. Uses 26, 27, 80, and 71 tubes. I put in a semi rare Magnavox 71 output tube. Included are a history of Steinite and schematic.

Stewart-Warner R-1218-A (1936-7)
This is a lovely designed cabinet radio. A three-band set with a Stewart-Warner Kraft-Built cabinet. Beautiful swirled grains, heavy solid woods and matching face veneers. It has a unique tuning indicator. There is a reactance unit so when the station is fully tuned, the band indicator lamp goes out (in the small window above dial). This set works and sounds grand. External antenna required, the longer the better for the shortwave band. Fully rebuilt, aligned, tested, lubed. It was "rebuilt" by someone else, then I corrected everything. The escutcheon was cracked and is repaired. New dial window installed. Schematic included. It has been refinished at some point and it's a really nice looking set. Three-color dial, smooth tuning, big sound with a large top firing speaker. Large table radio. 16"W x 12"H x 10"D; heavy to ship.
$245.00. (1400101)

Zenith 5-R-312 (1938)
Here is a lovely Bakelite Zenith. What is special about this one is the back is perfect, the cabinet is great, chassis is like new. Look at the pictures of back, front and bottom. It has the gold dial with no defects, a clear window, and is all round very nice. All pushbuttons work, function smoothly and still have the felt buffers on the back. Speaker has no holes, tears, or repairs. There are a couple scratches on the Bakelite that can buff out, no chips or breaks. Works best with an external antenna, but gets local stations with the attached lead. All recapped, aligned, and checked electrically. Schematic and data included.
