Happy 100th Birthday to this very nice Freed-Eisemann FE15 radio! While the company did not survive the great depression, they made radios of exceptional quality while they were in business. The original finish is very nice on this set, with very few blemishes. It is fitted with five 01A tubes that test new or better. It has been tested with the actual hardware it is being sold with. There is nothing else to buy. I'm supplying an AC power supply, speaker, and a pair of period appropriate headphones. The tubes alone are $50 each at Radio Electric Supply. The power supply sold new for $170. Speakers like this are on ebay for $150. One of these radios sold on the Attic in 2009 for $155. Taken all together, this is a huge bargain, if Neutrodynes are your thing. For those not familiar with them, this is not your modern Superheterodyne HiFi radio. Operation is part science, part art, and part magic. I have provided a frequency chart to aid in tuning. This is a smaller, lighter weight example of this technology, so takes up less space and won't be as bad shipping wise. Requires a substantial external antenna to pick up any but very strong local stations. 19"W x 9"H x 9"D. $300.00. (1680159)
