Airline 62-367 (1937)

Airline 62-367 (1937)

The 1937 Airline is a great example of how dials were changing in design with this unusual telephone dial. There is a repaired crack in the dial on the back side that can not be seen. Also note that there are two fine hairline cracks in the center of the dial which have spread in the last several years that I have owned it. Otherwise the set is in excellent condition. It retains the original knobs and grille cloth. The trim has been refinished and the balance is all original. It has been serviced and a very strong performer on both AM and shortwave. As nice as you will find. 23"W x 12"H x 10"D. $499.00. (0260807)

 

Airline 84GCB-1062A

Airline 84GCB-1062A

The first one of these I've seen in maroon. The mounting holes for the back were damaged and reinforced so the back stays on. Otherwise it is in excellent condition. This set is untested and offered as is. 6-1/2"W x 4-1/2"H x 3-1/4"D. $79.00. (0260784)

 

Algene AR-5-U Portable w/Snake Skin Case

Algene AR-5-U Portable w/Snake Skin Case

For the collector that has been looking for a radio in a red snake skin cosmetic case, look no further. The radio dates from the late 1940's and sports Lucite knobs, handle and grille. The case shows some wear, but overall in very good original condition including the grille cloth. The power cord is rather short given that you have to store it under the lid. The mirror is a little cloudy from age. It has a lighted dial. The set has been serviced and plays good. 11"W x 7-1/2"H x 6"D. $225.00. (0260697)

 

Atwater Kent 10C-4700

Atwater Kent 10C-4700

The iconic AK breadboards were among the first radios to be collected and preserved. This model 10C saw some restoration at some point in the past. The board was refinished and well done. It is missing some trim grommets. The wires that pass through the board to the detector are missing the brass eyelets that mount in the board. The grommet that the power cord passes through is missing. The wire on the coils show some fraying. The Bakelite is very good with just a 1/4" hairline at one tube socket in the detector which is hard to see. The model tag is there but missing the warranty tag. Overall this is a nice clean example that displays beautifully. All the O1A tubes test good. It has not been electrically serviced and is sold untested. $799.00. (0260773)

 

Atwater Kent 44 (1928)

Atwater Kent 44 (1928)

Among the new line of AC radios in 1928 was the model 44. It came with a price tag of $106.00 without tubes. An additional $20.00 was needed for the model E2 speaker. The speaker is pictured for display only and is not included. All eight tubes are the period correct globe style. It also has the original power cord. There is only very minor cabinet wear and some discoloration of the grille cloth. The set has not been serviced, but when tested I received several stations with good clear sound. The long distance switch did not seem to have any effect. Sold for presentation and display. $295.00. (0260810)

 

Atwater Kent 49 (1928)

Atwater Kent 49 (1928)

The Atwater Kent model 49 dating from the 1928 was battery operated using six tubes. This appears to be all original including the finish. I did replace the rubber feet on the base. One of the best examples from this period that I've seen. All the 01A tubes test very good. The power cord wires are labeled and connector clips were added at some point. It is otherwise offered untested. $199.00. (0260809)

 

Davison Haynes Aero

Davison Haynes Aero

The only identification is Aero on the escutcheon and the number 15997 on the label. This is an extremely rare radio and is the only example I'm aware of. There is little documentation about the company and it appears they were only in business from 1930 to 31. The chassis was assembled at Gilfillan Bros. Plant in L.A. The chassis is the same used in their model 92 and 93 consoles. The radio is in beautiful condition inside and out. The chassis is super clean with no corrosion. The set was serviced by the former owner and plays fine with strong reception. The cabinet has been refinished. The grille cloth is a replacement, but I believe the knobs are original to the set. There is no schematic for this set and so it is offered primarily for display and preservation. 16-1/2"H x 15"W x 9-1/2"D. $749.00. (0260733)

 

Emerson 414 "Wheat" (1933)

Emerson 414 "Wheat" (1933)

Also known as "Fleur-de-Lis," the model 414 dates from 1933. The chassis was also used in the Mickey Mouse and Snow White sets produced by Emerson. These sets are a rare find in excellent all original condition down to the power cord. This example uses a pin drive high impedance speaker rather than the field coil type as both have shown up with this chassis. Unfortunately I could not adjust this speaker to handle higher volume. Otherwise the chassis has been restored and is receiving several stations that you can listen to at low volume. It is ready for display. 7-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 5"D. $595.00. (0260785)

 

Emerson DM331 (1940)

Emerson DM331 (1940)

Ingraham cabinetry has been prizes by collectors for decades. This 1940 example is as nice an original set as you will ever find. I did replace the knob decals but the Emerson decal is original as is the entire finish. The chassis has been serviced and plays well. A beautiful example. 16"W x 10-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $289.00. (0260805)

Monmouth Producers Dynamitone

Made in Cleveland Ohio by Monmouth Producers in the 1920's. There is no information anywhere regarding this company. The speaker does not show up in any books or the internet.

The grille cloth is the correct reproduction replacement. Simple lines with Art Deco style, it works with any decor. The radio has been serviced and plays well on AM but I get very little on Short Wave. 24"W x 15"W x 22-1/2"H. $449.00. (0260819)
