Emerson 811 (1955)
Posted is a very nice and hard to find 1955 Emerson Model 811. All capacitors have been replaced and it receives all local stations here in the Metro Boston area loud and clear. No cracks or chips, with original back and bottom label. Very nice mid-century styling in this palm-size set. Grey/blue in color with burgundy frequency numbers. $79.00. (1240051)

Grundig Ocean-Boy 204 (1963)
Shown is a hard to find 1963 Grundig Ocean-Boy 204. Receives on all bands fine. Antenna nice and smooth and straight. Three fuse holders were all replaced and new fuses. This is not a true portable in the sense of taking batteries. This is the model with a removable Power Pack. And yes, the AC cord is original with the in-line switch. Volume knob "bright plate" is missing. Band coverage is as follows: LW (145-340kHz), MW (510-1620kHz), SW1 (2-6MHz), SW2 (5.9-11MHz), SW3 (11-20MHz), FM (87.5-108MHz). $99.00. (1240050)

Little Wonder Microphone (1935)
Nice "early radio" shelf appearance for this Little Wonder Microphone. Untested, needs new cord. Otherwise nice original patina. Recently found in Downeast Maine. $32.00. (1240052)

Radio Shack AM/FM Portable
Shown is a "Brand New in box" 2001 AM/FM radio by Radio Shack. All packaging and instruction booklet in box. Strong and sensitive operation. Great radio for storm situations. Also includes ear phone still in bag in battery compartment. $29.00. (1240053)

RCA Stereo System (1970)
Posted is a very hip 1970 RCA tabletop stereo system with matching speaker. Fully functioning controls, dial and tuning indicator lights. Room blowing powerful sound. Very nice wood cabinetry and yes, the original matching grille cloth. Great vintage stereo system for the shop. $55.00. (1240054)

Zenith Royal 300 (1957)
Posted is an extremely nice example of a Zenith Royal 300. A bit less common than the Royal 500. This radio was well taken care of having no cracks or chips and showing the "factory shine." It is a very strong player getting very distant stations in the evening. Including the case which is in very presentable condition, though not perfect. Tiny dimple on the faceplate. Corrosion free battery compartment also. $90.00. (1240049)

Restoration philosophy

My restoration philosophy has been to leave these classic radios in their original condition as much as possible. I prefer not to refinish or repaint a set unless it's absolutely necessary. When this is necessary, I use a professional person for refinishing & repainting. I have always tried to obtain the nicest original sets and although some may not be working, they will be a clean platform in which to begin a solid restoration. Radios will be listed as working originals, working electrically restored or non working originals, "as is." Any repairs that have been made, and any cosmetic flaws associated with the radio, are completely disclosed. I have been collecting radios since getting out of college in 1986. I have a fairly vast collection spanning all eras of radio evolution. Please contact me for any "wants" that you may have; I may have it! Thank you.

Warranty information

All radios are tested to make sure they are playing prior to shipping. A lot of jostling in shipping can make tubes loose and connections become unconnected. These are some of the unforeseen results associated with shipping. I have no control over how the shipper treats the package. If you purchase a radio and it is not working and playing when you receive it, I will offer several suggestions to help it work. If those suggestions don't solve the problem, you are welcome to ship it back to me for any repairs that are necessary. The radio will be shipped back to you at my expense, or your purchase price will be completely refunded if the set can't be repaired.

Conditions for return

I want you happy with any radio you purchase from me. If for any reason, you are not satisfied with the radio you bought in the condition stated in the original ad, please contact me within three (3) working days to begin discussing any issues you have.

Shipping

I pride myself as a "quality" packer and realize the importance of delivering the radio to the customer without damage. We probably all experienced the eBay radio purchase where upon opening a single flimsy box with marginal to no packing material and find a broken radio we couldn't wait for.
