Emerson 811 (1955)
This compact Emerson table radio came in a variety of colors to suit all tastes. This one has been freshly repainted; knobs and back are original. The chassis is a five-tube "All American Five" with miniature tubes and a built-in loop antenna; it performs well with good sensitivity and selectivity. The speaker is a bit smaller than you'll find in larger table radios, but the sound quality is still decent. Electrical restoration included installation of a strong set of tubes, replacement of all capacitors, replacement of the couplate (an early form of passive integrated circuit) with discrete components, replacement of a few resistors, rebuilding of both IF transformers to eliminate "silver mica disease," and installation of a new custom made polarized interlock power cord. This radio is small and light, so shipping will be affordable. 6-5/8"W x 5-3/8"H x 4-5/8"D.

Fisher 500-C FM Stereo Receiver (1963)
The Fisher 500-C is one of the finest tube high fidelity stereo receivers -- period. A favorite with tube audio enthusiasts, this one is in perfect working condition and excellent cosmetic condition as well. It has been meticulously restored to factory-fresh performance with a good set of tubes, a full recap, replacement of selenium rectifiers with silicon, bias adjustment, new resistors where needed, a careful sweep generator alignment of the FM tuner, and a scope alignment of the stereo multiplex unit. In addition, this one is loaded with expensive audiophile capacitors (Alessandro, Solen, and Auri-Cap) in the audio signal lines; a previous owner installed them, and I cleaned up his messy wiring to look very professional. It simply looks and sounds great. 30 watts per channel. It has an aux input and dual phono inputs for both magnetic and ceramic cartridges. The FM tuner is very sensitive. The stereo beacon light and all other functions work perfectly. Original Fisher cord and plug in good condition. 17-1/2"W x 6-3/4"H x 13-1/2"D.

Hallicrafters 5R61 (1955)
Hallicrafters was much better known for its amateur radio gear, but they also sold radios and TVs for a few years during the late 1940s and into the 1950s. This "All American Five" ivory Plaskon table radio looks sharp and performs very well. The dial numbering and lettering are a bit faded, but still easily readable. The cabinet is free of cracks or any significant chips. The chassis has been restored to work like new, with a strong set of tubes, new capacitors, a few new resistors, and a full RF/IF alignment. A new polarized power cord has been installed, along with appropriate power switch circuit modification to improve safety. The original speaker is in great condition and sounds good. This is a fairly compact and lightweight radio, so shipping will not be too expensive. 10-1/2"W x 5-3/4"H x 5-1/8"D.

Monarch 5002 (by Trav-Ler) (1946)
This "Monarch" Bakelite table radio is a Trav-Ler 5002 rebranded for a department store or other retailer, which was a fairly common practice with some manufacturers. It's a six-tube superhet with built-in loop antenna; the extra RF amplifier stage gives it outstanding sensitivity. The chassis has been thoroughly restored to work as good as new, with all new capacitors, a strong set of tubes, new resistors where needed, a new dial string, and a complete RF/IF alignment. A new polarized power cord has been installed, along with modified power switch wiring for improved safety. The original speaker is in perfect condition, and sound quality is excellent. The Bakelite cabinet has a good original shine (no clear-coat, wax, or other enhancement). The escutcheon and pointer are original; the knobs, back, and dial cover are replacements. The dial is lighted. This is a great little radio you can use for everyday listening. It's fairly compact and light, so shipping won't break the bank. 9-5/8"W x 6-1/2"H x 5-1/4"D.
