Jim Dennis' Attic

Gilfillan 58W (1948)
Ya' know, if I were a bettin' kinda guy I'd wager the Gilfillan Brothers (my friends Sennet & Jay--just kidding) had to do it again,they'd paint this incredible Plaskon radio with two coats of black paint inside the case. There's tube stress on the top from heat, of course. That said, dare I say it; "this is a rare radio!" Yep, there's lots of the brown Bakelite, but not the Plaskon. As a matter of fact this is only cream Plaskon I've ever seen in person. Electronically reconditioned with new capacitors including electrolytics and, all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The five tubes are strong. Note the external antenna connection for greater station sensitivity it really does the job! A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty 10+ "Sennet & Jay Special." If you'd like additional pictures please let me know. 10-3/4"W x 5-1/2"H x 6"D. $325.00. (0510636)

Philco 51-532 (1951)
Question: What do Belize and Philco have in common? Probably nothing, but the fact that Mahogany is grown there and this Bakelite Philco in a gorgeous Mahogany color! Yes, you're right, sometimes I really "reach" when writing a descriptive for a radio. Electronically reconditioned with new capacitors including electrolytics and, all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The five tubes are strong and it has a new power cord. Note the external antenna connection for greater station sensitivity. A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty 10+ "No call haligetta big-mouth til yo done cross di ribba." English Translation: "Don't call the alligator a big-mouth until you have crossed the river" Special! If you'd like additional pictures please let me know. 11-3/4"W x 7-1/2"H x 7-1/4"D. $190.00.

Trav-Ler 5051 (1948)
Yes sir, I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lot of stops all over the world! So the Ricky Nelson song goes. And, to follow the beat of the music we have a swirled chocolate brown Bakelite beauty from the far off radio company in the sky called, coincidentally, "Trav-Ler!" Ain't that a kick in the pants! Electronically reconditioned with new paper and electrolytic capacitors and out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. There is an external antenna wire for greater station sensitivity. The five tubes are in good shape. A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty 10+ "An Ozzie" Special! If you'd like additional pictures please let me know. 9-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 5-1/4"D. $170.00. (0510627)

Emerson 426 Portable (1941)
The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are history for 2016 at least for this part of the country, but not for portable radio lovers! It's always summer to us! And, it's beach-able if you have the dry cell batteries. Of course, it's AC for home use, too. This beautiful brown Bakelite Emerson is in fabulous condition! The knobs are slightly warped, but old plastic does that. Electronically reconditioned and aligned with new paper and electrolytic capacitors. All out of tolerance resistors were replaced. There is an external antenna connection for greater station sensitivity. A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty "AC/DC Special!" If you'd like additional pictures please let me know. 12-1/2"W 8-1/4"H x 5"D. $200.00. (0510557)

DuMont RA346 Clock Radio (1956)
For those with an eclectic flare in radios I have the absolute livin' end! From '56 and the mad scientists at DuMont Labs - less the tail fins - comes this clock radio that demands attention and probably gets it most of the time! Gingerbread works, too! It plays really good as does the clock. The functions work smoothly! Electronically reconditioned, aligned with out of tolerance resistors replaced. The five tubes are strong and the tube layout what's left of it is on the bottom. A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty "Daddy-OH" Special! If you'd like additional pictures please let me know. $175.00. (0510490)

Truetone D-3465 Portable (1954)
Call me crazy, but I've made a concentrated effort of late to prepare mostly portable-type radios. You know, summer, beach, warm weather, etc.! Purpose: Run off the evil demons of winter! This beautiful faux leather Truetone is working...literally and figuratively! It's over 60 degrees, the sun is out and this portable is ready for summer! Electronically reconditioned, aligned with resistors checked for tolerance. All five tubes are strong. Plays like a champ! A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty "Where's Frankie Avalon Special." If you'd like additional pictures please let me know. 11-1/2"W x 9-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $155.00. (0510470)
