Philco 51-530 Transitone (1951)
(plastic tube table radio)

Philco 51-530 Transitone (1951)

NEW!In overall excellent condition. A superheterodyne radio with five tubes and an internal loop antenna, it receives quite well with good sensitivity, selectivity, and sound, especially for a small radio. It has a spud wire to attach an external antenna wire if needed for your locale. It has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet was completely disassembled and cleaned, then buffed to a wondrously smooth, shiny, and lustrous finish. The dial graphics are crisp and clean with no defects. The original knobs were polished. The original back cover is in excellent condition. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned, and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The radio was aligned, peaked, and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal loop antenna. The power cord and plug were replaced This radio is now 73 years old and looking like it did when new. And, now that it is completely restored, it sounds like it too! 11"W x 6"H x 6"D.  $150.00.
