Zenith 6-S-239 Chairside (1938)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
Back to Top
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.
