.jpg "Philco 51 clock radio (1933)") |
 Here is today's completed restoration, my 1933 Philco Clock Radio model #51. Philco, Westinghouse, Majestic and several other companies all made clock radios in beautiful cabinets. Most of these radios were made in the early 1930’s were popular for a while and then sales and orders for them trailed off. It's amazing how well this five-tube, AM only radio performs! We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents, all the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced were needed. We added a new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead. It receives all of my local and beyond AM broadcasts with good volume and tone.
The clock is a self-starting original and the dial scale is very clean with good color. It works quietly and it keeps good time. The cabinet still has its original finish (restored) and a new reproduction Philco grille cloth has been installed. There is a hairline crack on the low end of the dial scale and it's not noticeable enough for me to change it. This has been in my collection for 25 years and this week, I decided to fully restore the chassis and spiff up the cabinet. 19"H x 14"W x 8"D. $495.00. (1600631) |
