Arvin 441-T "Hopalong Cassidy" and Watch
This Hoppy is in great condition, that's the original paint (compounded it just a bit to remove some scratches). The knobs, fascia, back etc. are all original and perfect. The Lariatenna appears to be the original and is kind of stiff. The chassis' been gone over, it tunes with sensitivity and plays fine across the AM band. The watch looks like it hasn't been removed from its little "wooden horse" stand or saddle. I have no idea if the watch works or not so it is being sold "as is." The box has had scotch tape on the outside and some on the inside just to get it to you intact). All this will be carefully packed. I pack radios for you the way I want them packed for me. $695.00.

Philco 51-530 Transitone (1951)
In overall excellent condition. A superheterodyne radio with five tubes and an internal loop antenna, it receives quite well with good sensitivity, selectivity, and sound, especially for a small radio. It has a spud wire to attach an external antenna wire if needed for your locale. It has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet was completely disassembled and cleaned, then buffed to a wondrously smooth, shiny, and lustrous finish. The dial graphics are crisp and clean with no defects. The original knobs were polished. The original back cover is in excellent condition. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned, and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The radio was aligned, peaked, and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal loop antenna. The power cord and plug were replaced This radio is now 73 years old and looking like it did when new. And, now that it is completely restored, it sounds like it too! 11"W x 6"H x 6"D. $150.00.

Radiola 17 (1927)
RCA Radiola 17 from 1927. It was the first year RCA made an AC-powered set. Uses seven tubes. Refinished mahogany cabinet. It appears to have been restored electronically; however, I have not tested it. The insides are clean with a fairly new power cord and what appears to be clean newish tubes, all the other internals appear to be intact. Somebody went through this radio carefully. It displays nicely with a beautiful refinishing job by a previous owner. The Radiola 17 is not rare but its rarely found in this condition. 27-1/2"W x 9"H x 7-1/2"D. $150.00. (1860006)
