Zenith 3000-1 Trans-Oceanic (1962)
This is a dynamite playing Zenith Trans-Oceanic 3000-1 with a very nice case. There are a few small blemishes around the radio but nothing significant. Inside the case a little wear around the dial knob. Battery box and Logbook are in good usable condition. It plays like no other on AM/Shortwave and very good for a 3000 on FM. Very little alignment was needed. The radio is not just serviced which replaces some electrolytic capacitors. It is restored with all new electrolytic capacitors which will allow the radio to play another 40 years like new. The back of the radio shows 3000 versus 3000-1 due to a swap with a better back. You can buy an AC adapter on eBay but I have found some of them interfere with AM and some Shortwave. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. Read some of my feedback on eBay under Hammer39. A great price for a great radio. $185.00. (0040361)

Zenith 3000-1 Trans-Oceanic (1965)
This is a truly exceptional Zenith Trans-Oceanic 3000-1. It plays as good as it gets with these radios. Superb AM and shortwave and great FM. On the appearance side I put it at a 9.7 or so out of a perfect 10. It comes with a almost new condition battery box and log book. It can be hooked up to a AC adapter that you can purchase on eBay or you can play it with nine "D"-Cell batteries. The ninth battery is for the lights. It was purchased at an estate sale of a radio collector. All the electrolyte capacitors and wax capacitors were replaced. I also tuned each band to perfection. If you were to by this type of radio, you most likely would purchase my restoration service that I advertise on eBay under Hammer39. See my feedback. With shipping that could cost you $200 or more round trip to me. You get a restored radio, one of the best I have seen for a pretty good price. $245.00. (0040360)

Zenith 6-S-239 Chairside (1938)
This is a great playing Zenith chairside radio built in 1938. I bought this at a radio collector's estate sale. It has three bands: AM and two bands of shortwave. This radio sold on the Radio Attic some years ago for $825. But this one does not have the top speaker cover and the speaker, although new, is not the original. Nevertheless it is a nice looking chairside for less than half price and it plays great. The radio was restored by the owner with all new capacitors. I checked out the work and aligned the radio for peak performance. Shortwave is just superb on this one. $395.00. (0040355)

Stewart-Warner R-104A Cathedral (1932)
This is just a beautiful looking cathedral radio made by Stewart-Warner in 1932. It was purchased in Wilmington, North Carolina some 15 years ago. Been with me ever since. The ornate cabinet is in superb original condition. It is a large six-tube cathedral with an 8-inch speaker that looks like new (see pic). The chassis is as clean as you get with an 80 year old radio and all six tubes were good. I replaced all the electrolytic and wax capacitors, as well as most of the resistors which were out of tolerance. It plays loud and clear. The power cord, antenna wire and ground wire are all new. It was cleaned, oiled and aligned for peak performance. The speaker grille cloth and knobs are original and in excellent condition. Six month warranty. 19"H x 14"W x 12"D. $495.00. (0040354)

Crosley 158 "Septet" Cathedral (1933)
This is a seven-tube Crosley cathedral AM radio model 158 made in 1933. It is hard to find cathedrals these days but this was found at a radio meet. It was partially worked on sometime years ago but the speaker was shot completely. So I put a brand new out of the box 6-inch speaker and transformer. It plays local AM frequencies loud and clear. All seven tubes were good. All the capacitors were replaced with new ones and most of the resistors were replaced as well. It was cleaned and oiled. It was aligned for peak performance. The cabinet is in original excellent condition. The speaker grille cloth and knobs are original and in excellent condition as well. Six-month warranty as long as it is not abused. These 80 year old radios will last years if played no more than a couple of hours a day for a few days a week at least once a month. This is a great price for an old Cathedral radio. $295.00.

Zenith Royal 1000-D Trans-Oceanic (1958)
This is an great looking and awesome playing Zenith T/O 1000-D AM/Shortwave radio which came from a radio collector's estate sale. The "D" signifies a 9th band (Long Wave) for old weather and navigation. I have replaced all its electrolyte and wax capacitors and aligned it to peak performance. It should last you another 40 years. It comes with a good battery box, external antenna and a Log Book. A classic for a great price. $195.00. (0040351)

Electrohome 51-418 "Music Box" (Canada, 1946)
This is a Music Box AM radio by Electrohome, made in Canada in 1946. It is a five-tube All American miniature tube radio that is a great AM player with a 10 ft cord. I restored it with all new electrolyte and wax cap replacements and good tubes. It also has a new power cord. To turn it on, you just open the box lid. The wooden box is in great condition. The chassis and speaker look like new. The dial plastic has been repaired but can be seen easily in that little dial window. $275.00. (0040345)

Arvin 732 (1941)
Nice decorative six-tube Arvin and plays like a six-tube radio should. Cabinet is in excellent shape. It has a 1/4 wood back and the chassis is clean. It has been restored with all new electrolytic capacitors and all the wax capacitors have been replaced as well. $155.00. (0040320)

Windham 5D2 (late 1940s)
This is an all American Five-tube Windam radio which plays rather well. As you see from the pictures I have restored the electronics and aligned the radio for peak performance. The chassis and 5" speaker are in excellent condition. The case has a repaired 2" crack on the back left side as you are looking at the radio. Other than that the Bakelite is in great condition. A nice playing radio for a great price. $75.00. (0040316)

National Union 571 (1947)
This is a five-tube National Union radio made by National Union Radio Corp, Newark NJ in 1947. It is a pretty little radio with a great wood case and plays extremely well. It has been part of my collection. It has been restored with all new caps, good tubes and aligned for peak performance. The wood cabinet is in excellent shape. $145.00. (0040309)
