Zenith D7000Y Trans-Oceanic (1978)
A almost pristine Zenith Transoceanic D7000Y made between 1974-1978. The handle and the top are in excellent condition. The sides are perfect with no wrinkles. Inside the case a little wear around the dial knob. Battery box is pristine. The top looks superb. It comes with a original log book and power cord. It plays like no other on FM. This one plays great shortwave which is not always found on the D7000Y. There was very little alignment need on this radio which probably means it was not played a lot. The radio is restored with all new electrolytic capacitors which will allow the radio to play another 40 years like new. It is also cleaned, lubed and each band is aligned for peak performance. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days Read some of my feedback on restoration on eBay under Hammer39. $445.00. (0040397)

Zenith A-600 Leather Trans-Oceanic (1958)
This is an excellent playing and good looking Zenith Trans-Oceanic. It's the last one made just prior to the B-600. The case is in awesome condition with a couple of small dings. The dial cover is excellent. All the electrolyte and wax caps have been replaced and the radio has been aligned for peak performance. If small parts are missing I replace them with originals.

Zenith Royal 7000 Trans-Oceanic (1969)
A very nice Zenith Transoceanic 7000 made in 1969 (one of the first 7000's made). The handle and the top are in excellent condition. The sides are in great shape. Inside the case a little wear around the dial knob. Battery box is pristine. The top looks good with some wear. It comes with a original log book, power cord and battery plastic holders. It plays like no other on FM. The 7000 for some reason picks up stations better on AM and shortwave than the 7000-1 or D7000Y. There was very little alignment needed on this radio which probably means it was not played a lot. 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. It is also cleaned, lubed and each band is aligned for peak performance. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. Read some of my feedback on restoration on eBay under Hammer39. $345.00. (0040394)

Zenith H-500 Trans-Oceanic (1951)
This particular radio is about the best looking radio and cleanest I have seen in some years. The case is in awesome condition with a couple of small dings. The chassis looks like new. The dial front is superb, no cracks. The radio was not restored by me but was restored as good as I could do. I did check it thoroughly and retuned it for peak performance. If small parts are missing I replace them with originals. All tubes are good and all parts are authentic. It is an awesome AM and Short-wave player and it comes at a very reasonable price. A great example of a H-500. $275.00. (0040390)

Lafayette HA-600A Shortwave Receiver (1975)
This is an Amateur and Shortwave receiver with six bands and fine tuning for Ham radio operators. The front and case are in pristine condition. I rebuilt the power supply and it should last another 40 more years. I also tuned it for peak performance. It plays great on all bands with a 15 -ft antenna. I would put at least a 25-ft wire antenna on it. Most of these were bought without the original speaker. So someone added a speaker inside the back. It can be taken out for the purist. It comes with an operating manual. Supposedly a rare radio. Guaranteed for 1 year. $345.00. (0040388)

Yaesu FRG-7 Shortwave Receiver (1977)
I am not a Ham radio operator, but I put a long antenna on it and it did pick up quite a few Shortwave stations. The lights work and it has a battery pack in it for battery operation. It has all it parts and is a clean radio. It comes with the instruction manual. I only clean/lubed the pots and gears but did not restore it. So I can only guarantee it will turn on (lights include) and pick up shortwave stations when it arrives. You can only return it if the above does not happen. These run close to $1000 in Japan. You see them untested for $325 to $500 and tested above $500. So my price is a bargain for one that works. $345.00. (0040387)

Sony ICF-6500W
This is a Sony ICF-6500W receiver which is in excellent condition. I have tested the radio with six "C" batteries and and the original 9V power supply is included. I left the batteries in the radio since they were new. I was able to tune in to FM, AM and Shortwave with no issues. Audio quality from the built-in speaker is excellent for a radio of this vintage. The antenna is completely straight and shiny. The battery compartment looks like new. A nice Sony receiver for a great price $175.00. (0040385)

Zenith 5F-233 AM/SW (1938)
This is a rare Zenith 5F-233 battery radio that looks like a 5S-218 cube. I have only seen two of them and I collected Zenith radios for 22 years. The case, knobs and speaker are the same as the AC playing 5S-218 and are in excellent condition. I don't work on battery radios and therefore this has not been restored. So I am selling it for a good price especially for a Zenith Collector. $295.00. (0040367)

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)

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)
