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)

My goal is to give you a great radio that you can play for years to come. If the radio has any flaws or parts that are not original, you will know it before the purchase. All the radios I sell have been electronically restored which means the following:

1) All tubes/transistors are checked and replaced when necessary.
2) All electrolytic and wax capacitors are replaced.
3) Resistors are checked and replaced if they are out of tolerance.
4) If the speaker cone is torn beyond a simple fix, it is sent out and replaced completely.
5) The tuning capacitor, volum , bass/treble controls are cleaned and lubricated.
6) The radio is aligned and tuned to play at peak performance.
7) Once the radio is restored, it is tested for three hours.
8) Before it is shipped, it is re-checked and tested, and will be played and listened to for three more hours.
9) The radio is professionally packed and shipped by USPS Priority 2 to 3 day service. It will be insured for sale value.

If the radio does not play when it arrives, return it for a full refund. If you are not satisfied with the radio when it arrives send it back for a refund less shipping costs. The radio is also guaranteed for six months assuming it is treated well.
