Admiral A-9863 (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) In 1924, Ross Siragusa founded the Transformer Corporation of America. By 1929, due largely to the depression, that company went out of business. Siragusa decided to manufacture radios, and in 1934, that company became the Continental Radio and Television Corporation, with the Admiral brand being the most popular. Their radios were rebranded under the Knight brand model 351, Supertone AM3, Acratone and Mantola, with the three tombstone radios having identical cabinets. This info is somewhat sketchy, but we will go with it for now. The A-9863 is an eight-tube,three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. It began as a 6V set, so a transformer has been added for plug and play. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes we checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input cable and antenna lead was installed. This radio is one of the more sensitive radios that has crossed our bench. It has a ton of volume and tone utilizing an 8-inch speaker. Gary stripped the gorgeous Walnut cabinet, ending up with a hand-polished "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. This set belongs in the family of large tombstone radios like Waltons, Majestic chrome-fronts and Zeniths and is probably one of the the rarest! 21"H x 15"W x 12"D. $1,195.00. (1600646)

Airline 62-317 (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Montgomery Wards sold thousands of quality radio without ever actually manufacturing one! Wells-Gardner and Belmont made a lot of the Wards radios, but I know there were other companies involved too. The 62-317 is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SW,police) radio. The capacitors were all replaced with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes where checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. This radio has a gorgeous chrome chassis and beautiful multi-colored oval dial. The rich Walnut cabinet was stripped and refinished by Gary Marvin. With his customary "piano" lacquer finish, this radio is absolutely stunning! The original knobs, chrome chassis and speaker are present. The new tuning eye is bright and active, and a crystal-clear dial cover from Mark Palmquist was installed as well as period-correct grille cloth. This set was in the upper part of the line for 1936, and is a great performer that you can enjoy for years to come! 17-1/2"W x 10"W x 9"D. $695.00. (1600648)
Airline 62-501 (1938) (Bakelite tube table radio) No dial-face, just push-buttons, make this Bakelite radio from the golden age look very deco!

The radio has no back, but the case is nearly flawless, with no cracks or chips, and the five tube superhet chassis has been serviced and plays well. $175.00. (0610042)

Airline 74BR-1502B (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a very small five-tube radio that is AM only. I call it a "Mini Toaster" as late 40's radios all seem to look like toasters to me! It has an ivory painted Bakelite case with no chips, cracks or hairlines. The matching ivory bullet knobs are not original but streamline the case a bit in front. It has the original metal back that also acts like an antenna, but it picks up a lot more with a long wire antenna attached. I went through the chassis and all caps and filters are replaced as well as weak tubes. It has a replacement cord for safety. It was aligned as well. Don't expect it to play like a 15-tube Zenith, but it does fine for its size! 7-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/4"D. $95.00. (1700058)
Airline 84BR-1501B (1941) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) Montgomery Wards never made their own radios, they bought them, had them relabeled and sold them through their catalog.

Airline 84GCB-1062A (1948) (Cloth/leather tube portable radio) The first one of these I've seen in maroon. The mounting holes for the back were damaged and reinforced so the back stays on.

Air King 4603 (1945) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This mid-century modern six-tuber has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. It plays loud and clear across the AM band with its built-in loop antenna, easily receiving all of my local stations. 3.5mm cord installed at no extra cost for more listening options. Cabinet was completely refinished using multiple spray toners and topped off with a light spray of clear enamel for durability and sheen. A nice basic radio with one minor issue... kudos to whomever restrung the complicated dial string on this set. It works well, but the dial pointer moves backwards! Meaning, you'll hear 1450 AM at what shows as 620 on the dial. But since most people are using Bluetooth or some other auxiliary audio device with the 3.5 mm cord, it's a minor inconvenience. 14"W x 8-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $109.00. (1790476)
Air King 4607 (1947) ON SALE! (Plastic tube table radio) Here is a somewhat rare little Air King radio.

Most of the the back cover is intact. Air King was located in Brooklyn, NY and manufactured AM radios for the consumer market starting in 1932. Among American radios, Air King was a standout. Later, Air King made radios for Silvertone (Sears), GE, and other companies, and also sold radios under their own name. Ready for play/display & won't take up much space. I pack very well & ship promptly. About 7"W x 6"H x 6"D.Was $269.00, now $215.20. (1640383)

American Bosch 460-B (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) American Bosch, a German company that produced primarily magnetos, opened a plant in Springfield Mass. in 1911. By 1920, they were producing 50% of all electrical starter parts. They started radio manufacturing in the early 1930's. When WWII started, they produced aircraft magnetos. By 1942, production had quadrupled. The 460-B is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse, new power cord, antenna lead and an audio input cable. The radio has a tuned RF stage for exceptional reception and a unique band selection that moves the dial scale up and down to each band. Gary stripped the cabinet, added some very nice highlighting and utilizing catalyzed lacquer, ended up with a gorgeous "piano" finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. This top-of-the-line radio doesn't show up very often, so it's an interesting piece for your collection. You rarely see them at this level of restoration. 18-1/4"H x 15-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D. $795.00. (1600641)

Anritsu "Alpha A-100" (1946) (Wood tube table radio) Rare! This is a very hard to come by post war Japanese tube set. It was manufactured by the Anritsu Electric Co. LTD. in Tokyo Japan in 1946. It is a Kokumin-gata or National Radio as sanctioned by the Government of Japan. Most of the stickers and instructions are in Japanese as well as the schematic on the bottom.

The veneers are intact but some slight checking is found. The chassis and speaker are in excellent condition. I have had this radio in my collection for many years, buying it directly from a collector in Japan. All and all, you will be hard pressed to find a post war, pre-1950 radio anywhere for a reasonable price. Works well and I will include all of the printed materials that I have collected on it. Receives four local stations well and has a long wire antenna for added reception. The radio has a backlit dial and presents well. This radio works best at 100v but will also work on normal 120v. I would suggest a variac if you wish to play it for extended times. If you have any questions or need additional pictures don't hesitate to email me.

Arvin 441-T "Hopalong Cassidy" and Watch (Metal tube table radio) This Hoppy is in great condition, that's the original paint (compounded it just a bit to remove some scratches). The knobs, fascia, back etc. are all original and perfect. The Lariatenna appears to be the original and is kind of stiff. The chassis' been gone over, it tunes with sensitivity and plays fine across the AM band. The watch looks like it hasn't been removed from its little "wooden horse" stand or saddle. I have no idea if the watch works or not so it is being sold "as is." The box has had scotch tape on the outside and some on the inside just to get it to you intact). All this will be carefully packed. I pack radios for you the way I want them packed for me. $595.00. (1860003)
Arvin 444 Chrome Midget (1946) (Metal tube table radio) Vintage 1946-1948 Rare Chrome Arvin Midget Model 444A tube radio, compact metal body. I have mostly Catalin radios in my collection, but this one really caught my eye when I saw it about 30 years ago here in Los Angeles. I don't know a lot about these radios, and I haven't seen a lot of the chrome versions. I've seen a few different colors of this model. It looks great on the shelf amongst the other radios and will surely look just as good at your place. I haven't tried plugging it in because the AC cord is frayed. Because we're not able to turn it on, this is being sold as is as a "non-working" vintage radio. $525.00. (1880006)

Arvin 517 "Cube" (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Arvin was based in Columbus, Indiana, and was the radio brand name manufactured by Noblitt-Sparks. There were four companies with the first starting on 1919 as Indianapolis Air Pump, to car radios in 1933 to home radios in 1935 as Noblitt-Sparks and Arvin. They created "families" of radios, starting with the "Rhythm Series" in 1936 and the "Phantom Series" in 1937. Many of these radios are highly collectable, with the "Rhythm King" being one of the hardest radios to find. There were several "Rhythm" series radios...The King, Queen, Master, Junior, Maid, Bell and Baby, with the 517 being the fifth in the series. The 517 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. The capacitors have all been replaced with Mylar equivalents. We checked resistors and tubes and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, power cord, antenna and an audio input cable were installed. It has a colorful dial with a beam of light that directs the pointer, and when the band switch is tuned to shortwave, the beam of light changes to the shortwave dial scale. Gary Marvin is among the best refinishers in the USA! He skillfully stripped the walnut cabinet and came out with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, 6-inch speaker and chassis are original. This rare radio is beautifully done and a wonderful addition to anyone's collection! 12-1/2"W x 14"H x 10"D. $795.00. (1600647)
Arvin 540T (1951) (Metal tube table radio) A little metal Arvin four-tube set. It is AM only and has a light beige painted case. There are a few paint spots on it and nicks but no bad scratches or chips. It has the original knobs and back. The cord was replaced with a new polarized one for safety (which is needed on these metal sets!). It needs a long wire antenna to work but is sensitive to just about any length added. It picks up local stations and depending on the antenna, can reach out further. I went through the chassis and replaced weak tubes, filters, and caps. It has been aligned as well. It has a nice sound through its 4-inch speaker. This little set would look nice on your desk at home or office. 8-1/4"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/4"D. $100.00. (1700075)
Arvin 544 "Lefty" (1946) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This is a very attractive little radio. It's got five tubes and has been electronically restored. I have replaced the caps and checked the resistors. Tubes all test good. Tunes well across the AM dial. This radio has a small crack at the base, but shows well. 9-1/4"W x 6-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $109.00. (1830074)
Arvin 722 (1940) (Bakelite tube table radio) This is a beautiful example of a 1940 Arvin 722 Bakelite Radio. This is a bottom loader so the Bakelite cabinet is perfect all around the front sides and rear, except for a small chip on the bottom rear corner. Restored and working, the radio plays loud across the AM band. Recently serviced January 2025. $229.00. (1860004)
Arvin 950T (1955) (Bakelite tube table radio) Sharp angular Eames era cabinet is without cracks/chips! Though this glossy Bakelite cabinet appears jet black under all but the most intense direct light, it is actually a dark chocolate brown with subtle black swirling. The unpainted tan control knobs are excellent. The gold patterned foil center of the tuning dial is perfect! The station numerals & distinctive Arvin logo are crisp & complete! They sit nicely on a checkerboard cutout grille. The five tube AM only chassis plays well. Comes with the original Masonite back in great condition. 10"W x 6"H x 5"D. Very cool!! $275.00. (0250149)
Astrex SP-100-WD-1 Stereo Turntable Set (~1980) (Plastic phonograph) A nice all-in-one solid state stereo two-speed (33 and 45 rpm) turntable with a pair of matching speakers and separate right and left volume control. The whole system is compact and surprisingly light but sounds quite good for what it is--certainly better than the new cheap turntable sets out there that use famous names. This system has been checked out by a professional turntable tech and has a new needle. The smoke-gray top is intact. Overall in excellent shape with minor scuffs to the plastic here and there. One handy feature is the unused portion of the speaker cable stores neatly inside the speaker cabinets, which also include holes for hanging on a wall. Includes a 45 adapter. An excellent second turntable for an office, or start a young person out in the wonderful world of vinyl! Like everything I sell, this will be well-packed and shipped in a correctly-sized box. Turntable base is 14"W x 9"D x 6"H, speakers 11-1/2"H x 7"W x 4-1/2"D, weight of whole system about 7-1/2 lbs. $65.00. (1560051)
Atwater Kent 545 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW/Aux or BT) Electronically restored Atwater Kent. The Atwater Kent was one the finest radios made, and were not cheap to purchase. I bought this radio at an estate sale. The restorer Dick Dielschneider was well known here in Portland, OR. He had a sign in is his den that stated "all radios are in working order" and indeed as we prepared to sell them, that was the case. This is one of two radio purchases I made, the electronics are redone, and an RCA jack has been added. The cabinet appears to be original, but the finish is in pretty good shape. It's a great deal at the price listed! 17"H x 13-1/4"W x 8"D. $225.00. (1830093)
Atwater Kent 856 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio) As beautiful as it is rare, this Atwater Kent 856 from 1935 is a real eye catcher. AK also gave it some cool features, like a dial that lights the selected band, and a two-speed tuner that you can switch from high to low without removing your hand from the knob. The front is ornate and fitted with gorgeous booked veneer. The chassis is a very good performer with amazing sound from the perfect 8-inch speaker. This came to me with two coats of lead based white paint on it. After 12 hours of scrubbing I got 99.9% of it off, but damaged the front veneer in one spot (see photos). It really isn't terrible, and you don't notice it if you are not looking for it. The gloss finish is the slickest I have ever done. 18 coats were needed to cover up the grain after cleaning the white paint. While it retains a few specks and dings, it is crazy nice. A lot of people would call it piano finish. I replaced all the caps, most of the resistors and most of the rubber wiring. A full set of tubes that all test new for long service life. This thing was ruined when I got it, but now it is pretty much a show stopper. $749.00. (1680104)
Atwater Kent 4445 Model 9 (1923) (Wood breadboard radio) A first for the Radio Attic is this 1923 Atwater Kent model 9 breadboard. Now over 100 years old it is truly an antique radio. It is missing the warranty tag but otherwise it is as nice as you may hope to find one. This all original example has no cracks or chips. The patina from the wood board to the brass is just beautiful. The Bakelite still retains a factory shine. It comes with five tipped O1A tubes. One has an open filament but the others test good. I have only had it on display and it is sold untested. A real show piece for any radio collection. $1,995.00. (0260871)
Automatic B44 Bicycle Radio (1949) (Metal other radio) This is an Automatic Radio Corp. "Tom Thumb" four mini-tube radio. It is a rare metal set designed for use on a bicycle.

The handle is original black plastic. The all-original metal antenna sports its red translucent ball on top. Made in 1949. Takes two 9-volt batteries and one 67.5-volt battery. Batteries are not included. The unit is being sold as untested due to the cost of the 67.5-volt battery. As shown in the photos, the metal shape is in excellent condition.

Automatic "Tom Thumb" Unknown (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio) Here is a great looking tiny midget set from approx. 1938. Model unknown tho it looks similar to the 950 & points to same era. It is all original, including the speaker grille cloth, dial and dial cover, knobs, etc as well as little wooden ornate feet. It has been refinished nicely at some point with the Tom Thumb logo intact. This radio is made by Automatic Radio Manufacturing Co. of Boston, Mass. The company begun in 1920 and is still in business today. It is most famous for producing the Tom Thumb radios in the late thirties. I believe this little Deco model of the Tom Thumb is one of the rarest. I can find no information on this particular model, not even a picture. It plays with the antenna wire attached picking up my local stations, tho I would not call it a strong player. Automatic Radio is also well known for producing after market car radios. A first for the Radio Attic so don't miss out. a must have to complete a Tom Thumb collection. 8"W x 5-3/4"H x 4-1/4"D.Was $425.00, now $340.00. (1640347)

Bang & Olufsen Jet 509K (1952) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) B&O was founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. In 1927, they moved into a factory and developed a radio, which debuted in 1929, the "Five Lamper" and its peripheral "Type D" loudspeaker. Powered from the receiver, the Five Lamper only required connection to an electrical outlet to play. This radio was also the first unit to be encased in a walnut cabinet. In January, 1945, the Germans bombed B&O's factory, since both B&O refused to collaborate and its employees were suspected Danish Resistance members. In the 1950s, B&O, assisted by Denmark's renowned architects and designers, developed components that earned praise for aesthetic appeal. They were rewarded in 1978 when NY's Museum of Modern Art arranged a 39-piece exhibition of B&O's products, an honor only bestowed on three other companies during the 20th century. Our model has five tubes, AM, LW, + two SW Bands, but no FM. Richard repaired one 1N4007 rectifier, one AC power plug, re-wired 220VAC to 120VAC, and aligned IF and RF. The cabinet was repaired. $675.00. (1300085)
Bendix 0526A (1946) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This is not your typical Bendix Radio! It has a stunning paint job. It's a one of a kind! I purchased this radio and went through it. I changed the electrolytics and can say the radio has been gone through completely and plays as good as it looks! It is re-capped, and tubes and resistors were changed when required. I hope a collector looks at this radio and just has to have it. It will get plenty of second looks! It weighs 7 pounds; 10-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $349.00. (1830078)

Bendix 526C (1946) (Catalin tube table radio) I believe the 526C to be one of the nicest Catalins. The marbled green color with yellow swirls, complimented with a black face plate is gorgeous. The one we have for sale today is a beautiful radio with no chips, scratches or cracks. We went through the chassis replacing the capacitors with modern equivalents, checked and replaced resistors and tubes where needed. This five-tube, AC/DC AM only radio plays great across the dial utilizing an internal loop antenna. Gary meticulously cleaned and polished this beauty to a stunning luster. The knobs, speaker and chassis are original, and the original back is with the set. This is the only Catalin model that Bendix produced, and they are getting very difficult to find, especially in this restored condition. 11"W x 7"H x 6"D. $1,195.00. (1600620)

Braun PC3SV Turntable (1959-1961) (Plastic phonograph) Braun was founded by Max Braun in 1921 and started making radios and turntables in 1929. By the mid-1950s, the Braun brand was influenced by the German concept of modern industrial design and its combination of functionality and technology. One of its design leaders was Dieter Rams, who was a key figure in the German design renaissance of the late 1950s and 1960s. Dieter, along with Hans Gugelot, designed the famous SK4 record player, aka "Snow White's Coffin." Dieter also designed our shown PC3SV turntable as well as the "D" series (D25-D47) of high-quality 35 mm slide projectors. He and Dietrich Lubs are also credited with the design of a classic range of Braun alarm clocks which began with the AB 20 in 1987. Braun continued producing alarm clocks, of this type, through 2005. Dieter Ram retired in 1995. This turntable is constructed from modern plastic and functions properly. Richard Majestic replaced one P-186 cartridge and one audio cable. He also converted the turntable motor from 50Hz to 60Hz to play 33-1/3 RPM LPs. $625.00. (1300084)

Charles Herrold, Inventor of Radio Broadcasting (Book) By Greb and Adams. Who was Charles Herrold, and why did he claim to be the father of broadcasting? Well, he went on the air in San Jose in 1909 and ran station KQW from 1912 to 1917, when the money ran out. The tale of this mostly-forgotten pioneer is meticulously researched by the authors, who finally shed light on a deserving soul. Softcover, 10 x 7, 247 pages. Many photos and diagrams. Minor shelf wear and edge wear, otherwise excellent copy with an uncreased spine. $12.00. (9560047)
Climax "Conquistador" (1935) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a fairly rare set by a very desirable manufacturer, that's in great original condition. This set has its original finish and grille cloth, both in excellent condition. The electronics have been restored replacing the capacitors, out of tolerance resistors, and the original resistor line cord was replaced with a new cord and a big power resistor on a heat sink. This little set has BC and a SW band. This four-tube set plays very well for a four-tube set, sensitive and great volume. You will never find a better example of this rare set, if you find one at all. 9-3/4"W x 7-1/4"H x 5-3/4"D. $269.00. (0620216)
Climax G-340 (1938) (Wood tube table radio) Another first-time example on Radio Attic, this six-tube AM only chassis is surrounded in mystery. For one, there is no make or model number anywhere on the radio, outside of a number 340 rubber stamped on the electrolytic can. With much detective work, I found the set was more than likely a "Plant A" set manufactured by Climax in Chicago. I saw a similar set that was a model G-140, so, based on the stamped no. 340 on mine I'm going to call it a G-340. With no other examples to go by, this is as close as I can get. It is a strange chassis, basically a four tube TRF with not one but two ballast tubes, bringing the tube count up to six, which looks more impressive than four. It does have one deluxe feature, a two-position tone control. Being a TRF, utilizing primitive early 1920's technology, it requires an external antenna to receive even strong local stations. No AVC. It has been totally refinished using spray toners and topped off with a light spray of clear enamel for durability. Comes with a set of tubes that tested strong, all new paper and filter capacitors, out of tolerance resistors replaced, and a new line cord. Because of the primitive TRF circuitry, my standard add-on 3.5mm cord could not be installed on this unit. 13-1/2"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. $129.00. (1790489)
Collecting Old Radios and Crystal Sets (Book) By Max Alth. One of the earlier collector guides, written in 1977, when the focus of the collector was on the earliest sets out there--understandable, since the Zenith Walton was, at that time, less than 40 years old... As such, it covers a bunch of sets skipped over by later collector guides, and the prices are interesting (and often amusing) to see. Nice collection of photos and ads, as well. Also has a list of radio clubs then operating across the USA. The collector's guide has itself become a collector's item. 8.5 x 11, 76 pages, softcover in good condition, with minor wear at the corners, spine, and edges and sun fading on the spine. $14.00. (9560123)

(9560076)
Coril 524W (by Balkeit) (1932?) (Wood tube tombstone radio) Medium sized wooden tabletop. Rather obscure name and Model# After countless hours of internet surfing I find nothing about the Coril name and no Balkeit radios or schematics that are close to this radio. It is a four-tube radio and picks up the four local stations here well with the long wire antenna. AM only. The chassis is rebuilt as per my shop info section. The cabinet has the original finish and looks very good in my opinion. If you look closely at picture #4 you will see that someone in the past wrote their name on the side of the radio. I have not tried to remove it. I don't want to alter the finish. Overall, a good sounding and good-looking radio. Original speaker cloth. Nice dial and dial lamp. Long wire antenna included. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers. Please see my shop info for shipping and payment options. 13"H x 11"W x 8"D. weight is 12 lbs. 13 oz. prior to packaging. $375.00. (1870026)
Coronado 43-8120A (1949) (Bakelite tube table radio) Cute dark brown Bakelite small oval tube radio. The radio plays. Has a repaired crack on the right side, but is very hard to see (see photo). The radio is all original. Coronado on the front is raised with gold lettering and matching gold dial numbers. Round concave lattice speaker grill. Has original pristine back and antennae with model label and UL stamp. The radio rests on Bakelite feet that run the width of the case. Made in 1949. 9"W x 5"H x 4"D. $95.00. (1720090)
Coronado 43-8190 "The Racetrack" (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Small bakelite Coronado tabletop. The racetrack, as it is known to collectors, is an often-sought-after set and a great addition to any collection. It is a five-tube (AA5) superhet design and picks up stations well. The chassis is rebuilt as per my shop info section. The cabinet is painted Bakelite and is without any damage or cracks. It is a repaint in ivory off-white. The handle, face plate and knobs are blue/white marbled Tennite. This radio was distributed by the Gambles-Skogmo company of Minneapolis, Minn. Smallish in size at 9"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. Weight is 4 lbs. 15 oz. prior to packaging. Nice dials and knobs with a backlit red indicator "power on" lamp. New reproduction back as well as new reproduction grille cloth. Great reception with the factory internal antenna. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers. Please see my shop info for shipping and payment options. Thanks for looking. $350.00. (1870023)
Coronado 867 (1940) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Coronado brand was sold by the Gamble department stores. This is a very rare beautiful example of this model. It is a medium sized tombstone and the contrasting veneer tones and maple inlays make it a real stunner. The radio was in excellent condition when I bought it, so I cleaned the chassis and controls. Replaced all wax paper and electrolytic capacitors and tested all other components and any out of tolerance were replaced. All tubes were tested and any weak or defective tubes were replaced. A NOS green eye tube was installed. The original finish was in good shape and was cleaned up and re-sprayed with Mohawk toners and clear lacquer. The grille cloth was rough and replaced with a beautiful period correct cloth. It has a large speaker, eight tubes and AM plus SW bands. It has a very clear and warm sound. The controls left to right are: Tone, Band Switch, Tuning, On/Off/Volume. About 16-1/4"W x 15-1/2"H x 9"D. $475.00. (1610008)
Coronet C2 (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) This Bakelite AM radio has a truly unique dial placement (other C2 models had wooden cases). It is reminiscent of a console radio, only much smaller! Rather than being so huge that it needed to sit on the floor, this is a "right-sized" tabletop radio that plays well. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D. $450.00. (1300073)
Cow Radio (Plastic replica radio) Its a cow. A happy cow. A cow with a box. $14.00. (1540040)
Crosley 6H3 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio) Nicely refinished cabinet and fully restored chassis with all new capacitors and full signal alignment. Plays great! Stunning veneer patterns with marquetry. Rare model. $499.99. (0380544)
Crosley 10-137 Coloradio "Dashboard" (1950) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This radio features a factory installed RCA jack in the back for another listening option beyond the standard AM broadcasts in lieu of my usual 3.5mm aux cord. The Crosley "dashboard" series are among the best styled radios of the 1950's, inspired by the ornate and chrome bedazzled cars of the decade. This one is a nice example of a popular model in the series. The cabinet has been repainted in kiwi enamel, replacing the badly scratched original color. It has been recapped, tubes tested strong, tube sockets cleaned, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays loud and clear across the dial with its built-in loop antenna, receiving all my local stations. 13"W x 7"H x 7"D. $199.00. (1790487)
Crosley 10-306 (1950) SOLD! (Plastic tube portable radio) Offered is a very rare Crosley model 10-306 in a stunning jade green. It has turned up in gray and burgundy which are also hard to find. This example is far from perfect. The crack on the right side starts at the edge and stops about 2" into the front near the top of the dial. The other crack on the left near the base is about an 1-1/2". Both cracks have been reinforced with clear epoxy. Despite the flaws the set still displays well and does not show signs of a lot of use retaining a nice gloss shine. The radio has been serviced and plays well. 9-1/2"W x 8"H x 5"D. $249.00. (0260888)
Crosley 11-105U (1951) (Plastic tube table radio) Once in a while I see a radio, it just smacks me in the eye, and I have to buy it. This cute little chartreuse Crosley 11-105U is one of those. The finish is very good on this sweetie, with a few dings and scratches, mostly on the bottom. Very slight tube heat damage on one side, but barely noticeable. Some damage on the volume knob. It looks like it got too close to something hot, but you're never going to find a new one, so I couldn't do anything about that. Overall it is very presentable and just adorable. My usual thorough chassis rebuild, replacing all the capacitors and most of the resistors. The sound is pretty darn good from the perfect 5-inch speaker. You won't have any trouble finding this one in your collection. It is a real eye catcher. It must have caught the eye of buyers in 1951 as well. A lot of them have sold on the Attic, with the chartreuse model topping out at $295. 10"W x 6"H x 6"D. $299.00. (1680179)
Crosley 21-AQ (1940) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The 21-AQ is a stunning model from Crosley; certainly one of their most beautiful pre-war table radios. This is the second one that I have restored; this one I did in mahogany lacquer which really makes the wood inlays pop. The push buttons are fully functional, the polycarbonate dial cover is new, and all of the brass pieces have been cleaned and polished. Electronically, the radio sounds great on both the AM and Shortwave bands. Additionally, all of the electrolytic and film capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The radio has been tuned and lubricated and the power cord has been replaced with a modern polarized plug. New felt feet have been added to prevent any scratching of your fine furniture. In summary, this radio is one that you will be thrilled to have in your collection. $349.00. (1780030)
Crosley 56-TD "Duette" (1947) ON SALE! (Plastic tube table radio) This one-of-a-kind designed Crosley radio is in excellent undamaged condition. The 1947 Post-War model is a must have in any collection. Nicknamed the "Duette" due to its symmetrical back and front. 1947 Crosley magazine advertising for this set called it a "Rondo." Not sure why, it must have been dreamed up by a Crosley promotional person! The ad stated that it was "Smart and New-from every view." This case is in really nice condition, just a minuscule paint chip or two, but no other major issues like chips or cracks. The radio has been recapped & gone over by a pro, everything needing changing was replaced and it plays wonderfully, no interference or filter hum. The dial lamp works fine. The reception on this radio is excellent, picking up all my local stations, and many distant stations at night. About 10-1/2"W x 8-1/5"H x 6"D. Shipping will run $25 packed safely to anywhere in the USA.Was $156.00, now $139.00. (1150943)
Crosley 66-TC "American Overseas" (1946) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Aux or BT) This six-tube, two-band (BC+SW) Crosley certainly has one of largest, boldest dials of any table model radio in the 1940s. All electrolytic and paper caps have been replaced, tubes tested strong, controls were cleaned and lubricated. Plays loud and strong, receiving all of my local stations with a built-in loop antenna. Or use the 3.5mm cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. SW needs a long wire antenna attached for reception. Nice new clear dial cover (it was very difficult to photograph because the lens is so clear and shiny...what you see are shadows from the overhead lights & the table it's sitting on). It's been totally refinished using multiple color toners and topped with a light spray of clear enamel. Original back cover is mostly intact. This big heavy radio will be the focal point of any room. 16-1/4"W x 10"H x 8-1/2"D. $179.00. (1790481)
Crosley 124 (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) The 124 Playboy was a fairly good seller for Crosley in the early 30s. It has a large, substantial look to it. They used the space for a beefy, 8-inch speaker and a well designed chassis. I gave it a nice, slick finish, with 16 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a pretty good player for a 1932 radio, and the sound from the perfect 8-inch speaker is awesome. I had to make the tube shield and chassis pan. The dial escutcheon is a reproduction. The chassis has been painted and looks awesome. All in all, this is a very nice radio at a bargain basement price. Several have sold on the Attic topping out at $395 in 2019. I'm not sure why this radio isn't selling. Come on, people. This thing is too nice to sit in my inventory! It has the early 30s antenna volume control so you have to crank the volume for weak stations. Requires an external antenna. 17"H x 17"W x 11"D. $249.00. (1680178)
Crosley 154 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) In 1920, Powell Crosley Jr. introduced the first low priced radio for $20 and soon became the largest producer of radios in the world. It earned him the reputation as the "Henry Ford of Radios." This beautiful cathedral radio with its chrome escutcheon and green back-lit dial is gorgeous, and in the next couple of years, Crosley would be transitioning to the newer, Art Deco tombstone cabinets. The 154 is a four-tube, AM only radio. We replaced all the paper/wax capacitors with new Mylar caps and replaced the tubes and resistors as needed. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead. We aligned the set to perform like new. Gary has restored the original finish to perfection and refinished the cabinet with a toning lacquer to a semi-gloss sheen. The chassis, speaker and knobs are factory originals. The dial scale has its original beautiful green color. This radio is like new, priced to sell and ready for your collection! 12"H x 10"W x 8"D. $495.00. (1600636)
Crosley 154 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This adorable little Crosley 154 came to me in absolutely horrible condition, but it is the only example of this radio I am aware of, so I wanted to restore it. The front veneer was in very bad condition, but I spruced it up the best I could. A lot of flaws remain in the otherwise nice finish after 80 years of obviously hard living. The photo finish is gone from the lower left and right columns. The speaker is not original and has a couple of patches by a previous servicer. I had to paint the chassis. Crosley employed regeneration in the IF circuit to give it the gain of a five-tuber. It has the 1930s style antenna volume control, so you have to turn it up to pick up weak stations. The gold sparkle in the luxurious Brown Lurex grille cloth doesn't show up in the photos but is very elegant. While it has some shortcomings, this radio is extremely rare. None has ever sold on the attic, and the one on Radio Museum is this one. Despite its blemishes, this really is a little cutie, and if you're a Crosley guy, I'm betting you don't have one of these. Requires an external antenna. 12-1/2"H x 10"W x 8"D. $199.00. (1680106)

Crosley 517 "Fiver" (1937) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The compact 1937-38 517 "Fiver" tombstones are very popular probably due to their smaller size and the famous gold mirror dial. This is a very nice example; a "Fiver" mini-tombstone is an impressive radio for its small size picking up all my locals & beyond with only a short antenna wire. The Model 517 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio and 5-inch speaker. It has been electronically restored a few years ago when it became part of my smoke free collection and works extremely well, covering the broadcast (550-1700 KC) and Shortwave (6-15 MC). Many Crosley models used the chassis or the name "Fiver." The original knobs, speaker and chassis are present, along with what appears to be original grille cloth as well as original finish. The dial is very colorful, is backlit and has a mirror behind it which makes it "pop." The wood is simply beautiful as pics should show. Chassis is very clean and the factory sticker is inside the cabinet. Original Utah speaker & cone is perfect. Crosley Radio Corp., Cincinnati, Ohio was started by Powell Crosley, Jr. and he eventually owned the Cincinnati Reds baseball team. 12-1/2"H x 10-1/2"W x 7 1/2"D; 10 lbs.Was $329.00, now $263.20. (1640340)
Crosley 517 "Fiver" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The Crosley "Fiver" name was used on several models. I found at least six models using the "Fiver" name, utilizing the same basic five-tube chassis. The model we have for sale today was referred to as the "Fiver Compact Louver Front" and was available in three color combinations. The cabinet is metal with a louvered Bakelite grille. I would think they made a lot of them, but this is the first one we've seen, so maybe not? The 517 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. A nice feature is the three-dimensional mirrored dial. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. Gary cleaned up and repainted the radio to its original factory two-toned colors of bronze and black. The set has the original knobs, Utah speaker and chassis. The radio has a "factory-fresh" look to it and would be a great addition to any collection! 13"W x 8"H x 7"D. $495.00. (1600570)

The radio has been recapped, all out of tolerance resistors replaced, tubes tested, aligned, fused and has a new line cord. The radio has been refinished with period correct toners and lacquers and has a "piano Lacquer" finish, by a local refinisher who has actually refinished pianos! The grille cloth is the original. 11-3/4"H x 10-1/4"W x 8"D. $395.00. (1830058)

Davison Haynes Aero (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) The only identification is Aero on the escutcheon and the number 15997 on the label. This is an extremely rare radio and is the only example I'm aware of. There is little documentation about the company and it appears they were only in business from 1930 to 31. The chassis was assembled at Gilfillan Bros. Plant in L.A. The chassis is the same used in their model 92 and 93 consoles. The radio is in beautiful condition inside and out. The chassis is super clean with no corrosion. The set was serviced by the former owner and plays fine with strong reception. The cabinet has been refinished. The grille cloth is a replacement, but I believe the knobs are original to the set. There is no schematic for this set and so it is offered primarily for display and preservation. 16-1/2"H x 15"W x 9-1/2"D. $749.00. (0260733)

Delco R-1126 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) If you're looking to get into the Eye Tube club on a budget, consider this nifty Delco R-1126 from 1937. Delco settled on a simple, yet attractive cabinet design, with a large, brightly lit gold dial and the distinctive bronze grille cloth that I matched as best I could. The original finish was very nice on this radio, so I touched it up and overcoated it with a couple of shots of gloss lacquer. I replaced all the caps and resistors and fitted with a full set of high testing tubes for long service life. It even has the original antenna wire still coiled up on the spool. A full alignment produced a pretty good receiver on Broadcast with a very accurate dial. The shortwave only goes to 6 mhz, but works well. The knobs are not original, but resemble the originals and complement the radio nicely. All in all, a fairly swell little radio. Four of these have sold on the Attic topping out at $495 last year. Requires an external antenna. 15"W x 10"H x 8"D. $425.00. (1680173)
Delmonico 6-TRS by Sharp (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Works, picks up a few stations with good volume. No cracks or chips or dents or hairlines. The grille shows some corrosion, not bad. Solid radio made by Sharp. $40.00. (1430052)
Delta Radio (France, 1935) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is a beautiful radio that you probably have never seen before on the Radio Attic (or anywhere else for that matter!) and are not likely to ever see again! It is a Delta model produced in Paris France around 1935. There are no manufacturer or model markings other than "Delta, Paris France" on the 8-inch speaker. The radio features multi-band tuning (short wave and AM). The radio has three bands, marked using wavelength rather than frequency, and stations are marked by physical location rather than call letters. When this set is lit up by its dial lamps, it's like taking a trip to all the cities across Europe! It takes standard American 1930's type tubes: 6A7, 6D6, 6B7, 42 and 80. The radio has a voltage selector on the power transformer allowing the user to choose voltages between 110AC and 240AC. 18"H x 15"W x 10"D, just a little large for my space. The radio is working and tuning in all my local AM stations clearly without any problems or issues. I do not have an external antenna for SW reception, but I don't see any problem with picking up SW stations with the proper antenna. The original description said that the radio has a phonograph input above the antenna/ground connection which could be used for a Bluetooth receiver or iPhone connection. I have not tested connecting this way. This radio is truly "One of a Kind." Shipping will be by FedEx or UPS, packed safely and insured. Keep in mind that with that power transformer, it is heavy! $339.00. (1150949)

Detrola 146 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) My latest offering from the Motor City is this attractive, fairly large Detrola 146 table radio. It came to me with a previous restoration over several deep "witness marks" on the top. I was afraid to sand through the veneer, so I cleaned it up and put 15 coats of lacquer over it. A poor attempt at veneer replacement on the lower trim forced me to replace that with American Walnut. The resulting finish is slick, shiny, and gorgeous. A full set of high testing tubes, all new capacitors and resistors as necessary. I stuffed the original filter caps. The speaker was replaced by a previous servicer. It has a couple of small patches. The sound is outstanding! Requires an external antenna. It must be a good one. My Sweetheart tried to get me to let her keep it! 18"W x 11"H x 9"D. $359.00. (1680080)

The waterfall cabinet has been refinished by a prior collector with a nice finish. The condition and quality of his work is excellent. The speaker cloth looks to be a period and looks great. The knobs are factory originals. All capacitors have been replaced and all other components such as tubes and resistors have been checked and replaced where bad or weak. The radio is a early "All American Five" circuit offering the terrific reception qualities they were known for. I am including an AM transmitter and Bluetooth module at no cost. There is no installation or modification needed and you'll be able to use your device to play any music through the radio you wish. 17-3/4"W x 11"H x 8"D. I accept mailed checks for payment.

The Catalin has a rich color and is in original condition, with no chips or scratches. The butterscotch pinwheel knobs are original to the radio as is the back plate with DeWald Logo, patent info, illustration and antenna information.

This is truly a remarkable radio in vintage condition that would make for a great addition to any radio or Art Deco collection. About 9-3/4"W x 6-1/4"H x 5-1/2"D. I have not been able to plug this radio in to see if it is working because the AC cord and plug are original and the insulation has hardened and there are bare spots where the wire can be seen. We do not recommend plugging this in to a power source without first replacing the AC cord. Because we're not able to turn it on, this is being sold as is as a "non-working" vintage radio. $1,900.00.

This chassis is a four-tube set, and it helps to have an external antenna to get local and distant reception. I am including a long length of antenna wire with the radio. The dial light reflects through the red Emerson logo dot on the front when the radio is on. Difficult to find this model in this condition (I rate it a 9.5 out of 10).

I verified with Bob Morrison at old Hickory. He had no other information other than this was their custom design. The top of the cabinet had to be refinished do to water damage. Otherwise it is in all original condition. Look closely and you'll see round circles where wood dowels are used in the assembly of the cabinet. No screws or nails were used. The chassis has all new capacitors and plays well with strong clear sound and receives both AM and shortwave. A piece of history. Old Hickory furniture can be found in the homes of Presidents, National Parks such as the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone. 28"H x 14-1/2"W x 10"D. $799.00. (0260868)

Emerson 400 "Patriot" (Catalin tube table radio) The Emerson model 400 Patriot was introduced in the fall of 1940 and according to the Emerson book "Small Radio," this novelty set was styled by the well-known industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes. With war clouds thick over Europe and appearing increasingly threatening to the homelands, this radio's theme struck a chord with American radio buyers, who turned it into a best seller. Commenting on this unexpected success, Emerson stated "style, timing and current affairs of people should always be considered by radio engineers." While this radio is in great shape, there are a couple of things to point out; the plastic cover over the dial has yellowed and the back plate with antenna has pushed through the mounting bracket. Also, with regards to the red and white bars that cover the speaker, it looks to me like the "white" lines may be some sort of white tape. I'm not sure if this is original material, but it's worth mentioning. It's never bothered me aesthetically, but the reality should be stated. This radio powers up and receives signals including the "250-500" band which is below the AM band at the bottom of the dial. This is the 120-meter Medium-Wave (MW) broadcast band. Most stations heard in this range are aeronautical and marine navigation beacons that continuously repeat their call signs in Morse code. The old international distress frequency of 500 kHz is in this band, but it is no longer officially used. $1,500.00. (1880005)
Emerson 414 "Fluer-de-Lis" (1933) (Wood tube table radio) In 1933, Emerson came out with a line of novelty radios. They included Snow White (Q-236), Mickey Mouse (411), and the Fleur-de-Lis or Wheat. They all have the same four-tube chassis. These models are highly sought after by collectors and are quite rare. The 414 has a repwood cabinet. The one we have here is sold "as is" and is not working. The 414 is a four-tube, AM only radio. The set has the original finish, a very clean unrestored four-tube chassis and the original wood knobs with the wheat pattern. The original back with the Emerson badge is with the set. The grille cloth is a reproduction of the original. This radio is ready as a wonderful display model, or could also be restored. 7"W x 7"H x 6"D. $495.00. (1600626)
Emerson 414 Repwood "Fleur-de-Lis" (1933) (Wood tube table radio) Ornate repwood model also called the "Wheat" radio. Everything is original including the back with the Emerson metal plate.

Emerson 414 "Wheat" (1933) (Wood tube table radio) Also known as "Fleur-de-Lis," the model 414 dates from 1933. The chassis was also used in the Mickey Mouse and Snow White sets produced by Emerson. These sets are a rare find in excellent all original condition down to the power cord. This example uses a pin drive high impedance speaker rather than the field coil type as both have shown up with this chassis. Unfortunately I could not adjust this speaker to handle higher volume. Otherwise the chassis has been restored and is receiving several stations that you can listen to at low volume. It is ready for display. 7-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 5"D. $595.00. (0260785)
Emerson 510 (1946) (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) The cabinet of this Emerson was a work of art by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. The combination of a striking turquoise and brass dial, a molded white plastic grille with a geometric pattern of square openings, and a slant-font walnut veneered box placed this design squarely into the Mid Century Modern trend. This cabinet was re-veneered and finished by a former owner, and the finish still looks excellent. The grille, Bakelite back, knobs, and dial are all original; the nice clear dial cover is a reproduction. The Bakelite back has a chip missing in the lower rear corner at the mounting screw hole. The All American Five chassis has been restored to work like brand new, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, several new resistors, a full RF/IF alignment, contacts and controls cleaned, and the tuning mechanism lubricated. A new polarized power cord has been installed with modified switch wiring for improved safety. Lighted dial. Only $25 shipping to 48 states. 11-14"W x 9"H x 6-1/2"D. $175.00. (1310213)
Emerson 510 (1946) (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This Emerson is a work of art by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. The combination of a turquoise and brass dial with white teardrop pointer, a molded white plastic grille with a geometric pattern of square openings, and a slant-front walnut veneered enclosure placed this design squarely into the Mid Century Modern trend. This cabinet has been refinished for a like-new appearance. The grille, plastic back, knobs, and dial are all original; the crystal clear dial cover is a reproduction. The All American Five chassis has been restored to work like brand new, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, several new resistors, a full RF/IF alignment, contacts and controls cleaned, and the tuning mechanism lubricated. A new polarized power cord has been installed with modified switch wiring for improved safety. Lighted dial. Only $25 shipping to 48 states. 11-1/4"W x 9"H x 6-1/2"D. $225.00. (1310217)
Emerson 511 "Moderne" (1947) ON SALE! (Beetle tube table radio) Here is a seldom seen Emerson model 511 "Moderne" glossy ivory Beetle Plaskon with bronze/gold marbling swirls. The clear plastic bubble dial cover floats over the gold painted metallic grille, which covers much of the front. A block of ivory Plaskon, whose back has a recess for the pilot light, anchors the dial cover to the cabinet at its top. When you turn on the radio, the illuminated block sheds a soft light over the dial, a beautiful effect. Radio has a cleverly designed molded handle on the top that also served to ventilate the set, as this set is closed on all sides and is designed to be viewed from all angles. The beautiful marbleized Beetle Plaskon cabinet is in great original condition, with no chips, major cracks, burns or repairs. The cabinet has only a slight stress crack in the dark swirls between the two original Plaskon knobs (have to look hard to find). The set retains its original metal bottom. Elevated padded feet + two factory labels. It not only looks great, but plays loud and clear across the AM dial as well. Truly an eye-catching addition to any radio collection. Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 11-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D.Was $429.00, now $343.20. (1640228)
Emerson 520 (Catalin tube table radio) Brown with yellow swirls. No cracks, chips or hairlines in case. Clear Lucite grille with Turquoise dial. Has pilot light. Plays well. Has original plastic back. 11"W x 8-1/2"H x 6-1/4"D. $275.00. (1720074)
Emerson 520 (Catalin tube table radio) The Emerson Model 520 in Butterscotch Honey Gold. Of all my radios that turn on and receive AM stations, this one sounds amazing. The tone is rich and full, and makes AM sound big. I'm quite impressed with this one. This tabletop vacuum tube AM vacuum tube radio manufactured by Emerson in 1946 is in excellent working and physical condition. Cabinet is original factory molded butterscotch and gold swirl Catalin cabinet. No cracks, chips or major scratches or missing pieces. The dial light works and lights up brightly. In looking at other 520s online, I notice only one difference, the knobs on this radio are different than the knobs in other examples. I bought it this way, not sure if maybe the previous owner just liked these knobs better. As I mentioned it is in great working order and sounds incredible. $525.00. (1880008)
Emerson 520 (1946) SOLD! (Catalin tube table radio w/Aux or BT) Emerson had many famous cabinet designs, including this one, attributed to Raymond Loewy, the prominent American industrial designer, who transformed everyday items into modern works of art. This is one of the Catalin versions of this cabinet, with gorgeous butterscotch marbled with the brown base material. Catalin radio cabinets often crack or show other defects due to shrinkage of the material, but this one is as nice as they come -- completely free of cracks or chips, and with a beautiful shine. Even the back (particularly prone to cracking due to differential material shrinkage) is in perfect condition. Knobs, grille, grille cloth, dial, and back are all original. The chassis has had a full electrical restoration with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes, and a careful RF/IF alignment. A new polarized power cord has been installed and the power switch circuitry has been updated to improve safety. This radio plays like brand new, with good sensitivity and sound quality. Lighted dial. Use as designed to listen to AM broadcasts, or order with my Better Bluetooth option to listen to your own program material. Shipping just $25 to 48 states. 11"W x 8-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D. $325.00. (1310199)
Emerson 539 (1946) (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) Emerson was one of the companies introducing finely perforated grille material as a new design direction in the post war years. Here the perforated material covers most of the front of the radio for a very modern appearance. The embossed gold dial and silver-domed pointer give this radio a striking appearance in either a well lighted or dark room. The cabinet on this one was refinished in the past by a previous owner; it's no longer perfect, but looks quite presentable. The knobs are original; the dial cover is a reproduction. Not sure if the back is original. The All American Five chassis has been fully restored to work like new, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, several new resistors, a strong set of tubes, and a full RF/IF alignment. A new polarized power cord has been installed along with modified switch wiring for improved safety. Lighted dial. 11"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. $145.00. (1310212)
Emerson 540A "Emersonette" (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a highly collectible 1947 "Emersonette" in a walnut Bakelite case. It was offered in a choice of four different colors of plastic: marbleized walnut Bakelite, ivory Plaskon, red Plaskon, and mint green/pistachio Plaskon (as of this writing, I also have both the ivory and pistachio Plaskon models for sale - see separate listings on my Radio Attic page). This set's cabinet is in near mint condition, with just a 1/16-inch chip at the bottom edge beneath the volume knob - not readily seen on display. The grille cloth, black bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, dial glass and almost-perfect back panel are original to the set. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark. The power cord is a new replacement. The set has been re-capped, all weak tubes replaced, and the tuner and volume controls cleaned, so it picks up all my local stations loud and clear across the AM dial. Originally coined as "the world's smallest AC/DC Superheterodyne" ever made. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D. $595.00. (1750114)
Emerson 540 "Emersonette" (1947) ON SALE! (Plastic tube table radio) Here is a diminutive, highly collectible 1947 "Emersonette" in totally original condition including, knobs, grille cloth, dial, dial cover, back, speaker, etc. Nice clean chassis. Absolutely no flaws (near mint). Glossy factory new look. Sorry for any reflections (just so shiny). It has also been electronically restored and it a perfect player picking up all my local stations loud us & clear. The black bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, dial glass and almost-perfect back panel are original to the set. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark. Ready to play/display! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. The 540 cases were very fragile and as a result relatively few have survived. Today, the 540 is highly collectible. The 540 was advertised as "the world's smallest ac/dc superhet" and in walnut it had an original list price of $19.95. Other colors were priced $5 more at $24.95. I pack very well & ship promptly with a tracking #. 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D.Was $239.00, now $191.20. (1640384)
Emerson 541B (1951) (Plastic tube table radio) This is a beautiful radio! Solid six-tube radio, tuned front end. The radio is electronically restored with new capacitors, resistors checked and replaced where necessary, and strong tested tubes. The radio is aligned and plays all my local stations. The cabinet has a couple of scratches, but the swirled walnut colored cabinet polished up magnificently! New polarized line cord, and aux cable added. 13-1/2"W x 8"H x 7"D. $119.00. (1830090)
Emerson 543 (1947) (Plaskon tube table radio) This bright & glossy ivory Plaskon cabinet is without crack/chips or those stress lines common to Plaskon! The Deco style continues with a sharp perforated gold-tone metal wrap-around grille that's scratch/dent free. The spring loaded unpainted black Bakelite retractable handle & black control knobs are all excellent as is the dark red dial pointer that accents the overall look nicely. The five-tube AM only chassis plays well. The illuminated dial scale numerals are clean & crisp as is the Emerson logo. Nice original back cover. A gorgeous example of this model for collection or decor! 11"W x 7"H x 6"D. $225.00. (0250179)
Emerson 547A (1947) (Plaskon tube table radio w/Aux or BT) What a beauty! White Plaskon case lights up while the radio is powered on. Five-tube AC/DC radio, recapped, tubes tested, resistors tested and replaced where necessary. The radio is aligned and plays well across the AM band. An auxiliary cable is added for other devices. Cabinet is crack free. 8-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $129.00. (1830085)
Emerson 547A (1947) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This is a Midget Radio made by Emerson and manufactured around 1947. It was a Swap Meet find, and I am glad I brought it home! I have gone through and replaced the electrolytic and paper capacitors. I checked the tubes and all test fine. The cabinet is jet black, crack and chip free. The radio plays strong across the AM dial. It includes an auxiliary cable so if there is nothing on AM where you live you can use other devices to play music. 8-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $129.00. (1830095)
Emerson 564 "Slot Grille" (1940) ON SALE! (Catalin tube table radio) Here is a beautiful diminutive, somewhat rare Onyx Green Catalin Emerson model 564 "Slot-Grille." This is a magnificent small Art Deco radio that features a vertical slide rule, lighted dial + a series of symmetrical grille cut-outs, thus the nickname "slot grille." Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp, out of New York, manufactured this midget Catalin radio in 1940. It has been restored & plays well, but it is Catalin & most collectors don't play them (not I). The Catalin has a beautiful gloss and is just a stunning example of this Emerson model that is highlighted by heavy mottling of reddish, yellow and lighter onyx green swirls. This beautiful set is in great condition but does have two small dings on left front edge which I have zoomed in on for your inspection. Look at other pics & notice those dings aren't that apparent (zoom makes them appear larger than they are), but they are there. There do not appear to be any other cracks, repairs or major scratches which are consistent with age + careful use. Water-slide decal is a replacement. The swirled knobs may/may not be originals but look good on the radio. A cardboard back is in place. This is sweet little radio in excellent condition. 7"W x 5"H x 3-3/4"D.Was $1,250.00, now $1,000.00. (1640356)
Emerson 574 "Momento" (1949) ON SALE! (Cloth/leather tube table radio) Here is an extremely hard to find classic Emerson radio in excellent condition. This set was available in three variations: a black Catalin case, a burled walnut case, and a red leatherette case. Of the three versions, I believe this red leatherette set is the hardest to find in good condition, as most of the Catalin sets were susceptible to cracks, and the walnut cases seemed to always have many veneer issues. This red leatherette case is in excellent condition without any rips or tears, just a few small nicks in the covering. This is a battery-operated set with three "D" cells and a battery pack of seven 9-volt batteries producing the necessary "B" voltage. And unlike most of these radios, where they are always described as "untested," this Emerson is working & playing very well because it has all brand-new batteries in it. When the case is opened, and the small clear plastic piece is raised, the radio turns on. Push it down and the radio turns off. I have owned several of these particular models, and I have never seen or read that the plastic on-off switch is spring loaded. It receives reception on all of my local AM stations without any problems. Everything is original, knobs and picture frame. The top snaps shut when you close it. I have included a picture of my old sweetheart in the frame, at no charge. But her phone number will cost you extra! About 7-1/2" square x 3-1/2"H.Was $289.00, now $239.00. (1150944)
Emerson 578 (1946) (Wood tube table radio) Very nice wood cabinet. AM reception has built in antenna with external antenna provision. Very good reception. Replaced bad tubes and all filters and wax capacitors and aligned. $119.00. (1370267)
Emerson 587B (1949) (Plaskon tube table radio) A nice little Deco styled radio! Five-tube AM only. Has a built-in antenna and provision for a long wire attachment. The white ivory Plaskon case has no cracks, chips, or hairlines. The radio has a dial light, original knobs and back. I went through the chassis, cleaned & lubed the controls, replaced filters, weak tubes and caps. It has been aligned as well. It plays out with a nice mellow tube sound. This radio would look good at your home or office! 9"W x 5-3/4"H x 5-1/2"D. $200.00. (1700074)
Emerson 695 (1952) (Plastic tube clock radio) There seems to be a trend toward small, economical table radios lately. In that vein, I popped for this cute Emerson 695 from 1952. There's nothing fancy about this little guy, but I think the style has a clean, attractive look to it. The sound isn't bad from the perfect 4-inch speaker. My usual thorough chassis restoration and full alignment produced a good receiver for local stations, with an antenna wire for more distance. There are three small dings on the top front edge of the otherwise very nice cabinet. I had to make three of the knobs. The clock and alarm work fine. All in all, a nice little radio that won't take up much space and won't break the bank. These topped out on the Attic at $180 in 2019. I realize it has a few shortcomings and am pricing it accordingly. 9-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $119.00. (1680153)
Emerson 702B (1951) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinetw/Aux or BT) Five-tube AC/DC radio. All capacitors replaced, resistors tested and replaced when out of tolerance, tubes tested. I got the radio refinished, but the workmanship is quite nice! The back is damaged but it's there. 11"W x 8"H x 6"D. $179.00. (1830086)
Emerson 706 (1952) (Plaskon tube table radio) This fully operational 1952 Plaskon model can almost be considered the older brother to the 1955 Emerson wooden model that can be viewed elsewhere on our Radio Attic page. No repair or restoration work has been undertaken on this tube radio since it has been in Palette's possession. Should you also want to purchase the aforementioned wooden "Sunburst" version, and have a bookend set of period Emerson radios of similar style and size, please let us know. We will extend a "buy the pair" price to you! $240.00. (1300050)
Emerson 845 Series B Mother of Pearl (Other material tube clock radio) Custom shop Mother of Pearl tube radio. This radio was made in a custom shop. From my research I found the Custom shops existed from after WW11 to about the late fifties. They made everything from Mother of Pearl covered radios to cut Catalin piece radios. The art and quality of this radio is very professional. This clock/radio has a clear Lucite front and bottom stand that is factory original. The radio plays great and the clock work properly and keeps time well. There is an accent stripe of Abalone running across the side, top and front. Also the end volume knob is covered in Abalone. The original Telechron clock is part of the charm of the radio. The unit has its original back and label on the bottom. $800.00. (1720006)
Emerson 977 Falcon (Plastic transistor portable radio) Radio just picks up static. The cabinet is really nice but not quite perfect - on inner tab in one corner is a little missing plastic where you can't see it with cover on so it presents really well with most of the paint still on front. This is a rare set and when you fix it (new caps most likely) you'll love it, even the back cover lettering is all there. $70.00. (1430938)
Emerson AM-187 "Pagoda" (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is one of the most unusual and seldom seen repwood sets made. These sets were antiqued by hand from the factory; Silver leaf was used as well as traces of red and shadowing. These sets were expensive, as this is the best performing repwood set I've ever owned. Most repwood sets were cheap radios that did not perform well. There isn't much info out there on these as there weren't many made, and very seldom does one come up for sale. The information was given to me by an avid Emerson collector, and a collector that collects nothing but repwood sets. This set still retains its original wood back, with its model number stamped in it. The chassis is clean and rust free and the speaker is flawless. The chassis was electronically restored, cleaning all pots and switches, changing of all filter and paper caps, new cloth line cord, etc. This set has a lot of volume and picks up a lot of stations across the dial. The set has both BC and SW bands. This is a very unique set and I've had it for ten years; the last one I've seen for sale was this one. 14-1/2"W x 9"H x 7"D. $595.00. (0620206)
Emerson AR-173 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a fine looking Art Deco model AR-173. The radio has been electronically restored and works great. The cabinet has its original finish. This is a big table top as it measures 20"W x 11"H x 9"D. $225.00. (1270314)
Emerson AX-238 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Sometimes called a "jewel box" this Emerson AX-238 should be IN the box, as it is a little jewel itself. The wood in the Ingraham cabinet is absolutely gorgeous. The thing is just struck all over with cute. The cabinet was already restored when I bought it and is very nice. The chassis has been modified to eliminate the "curtain burner" power cord by a previous servicer. I took care of a few errors and omissions, fitted it with all high testing tubes and gave it a full alignment. The receiver performance is surprisingly good for a five-tube novelty radio. I was able to recover some poor repair work on the speaker, and give it a coat of the amazing Parts Express wet look product. It sounds very good for a 4-incher now. The original volume control has been replaced with an On/off/volume control, but the lid actuated on/off switch still works. Only four have sold on the attic, topping out at $475 in 2011. This radio is a total eye catcher, and will get noticed! Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 6"H x 8-1/2"D. $425.00. (1680168)
Emerson BJ-210 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Here's another classic Emerson with a stylish Ingraham cabinet. The black and red vinyl inlay around the bottom certainly gives this radio some character, perhaps a simple identity from several Emerson models that are very similar in size. The BJ-210 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,Police) AC/DC radio. The BJ is a chassis designation telling us that it was manufactured by Belmont. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We added a new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead. (We do not install audio input cables on AC/DC radios due to electrical shock hazard) This radio performs well across the dial with plenty of volume. Gary did a great job stripping the old finish and applied a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are present. This is a restored Emerson that plays well and is priced right. This radio should perform well for a long time! 14"W x 9-1/2"H x 8-1/4"D. $349.00. (1600490)
Emerson BL200 (1938) (Plaskon tube table radio w/SW/Aux or BT) White Plaskon cabinet. Lights up while playing. Three piece cabinet with walnut Bakelite back. Has two very small cracks, and you will be looking very hard to find them! Five-tube radio is recapped, fuse added, resistors checked, and tubes tested. Plays well across the AM dial. The Police S/W is mostly abandoned, but the band is functional. An aux cable installed for device input. 12-3/4"W x 8-1/4"H x 6-3/4"D. $229.00. (1830087)
Emerson CF-255 "Emersonette" Midget (1939) ON SALE! (Plastic tube table radio) Here is a diminutive, highly collectible 1939 "Emersonette" in the coveted green color. This was professionally painted by an auto painter friend who does custom painting & has been in the business for 40 years. In addition to three or four coats of the green, he also clear coated a few coats for the glossy factory new look. Absolutely no flaws (near mint). Sorry for any reflections (just so shiny). It has also been electronically restored and it a perfect player picking up all my local stations loud us & clear. The bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, red pointer, are original to the set and perfect repro FYLP back panel. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark as seen in one of my pics. Ready to play/display! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. Like the 540 the 255 cases were very fragile and as a result relatively few have survived. Both are highly collectible and the red and green original Plaskon ones in clean, undamaged condition can command a price that runs into four figures! Some Emerson advertising described it as being "the world's smallest practical radio." Make it yours. 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D.Was $325.00, now $260.00. (1640380)
Emerson CL-256 "Stradivarius" (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Perhaps one of the most beautiful and identifiable Ingraham cabinets is the violin-shaped "Stradivarius" manufactured in 1939 for Emerson. The Emerson "Strads" came in three models: the Walnut version with a square dial that is slightly larger that the Walnut version with the "D" shape dial. This is the third offering by Emerson, the "D" shaped dial with a cabinet made with Quilted Maple veneers. These cabinets were made for Emerson by the famous E. Ingraham Clock Manufacturing Company of Bristow, Connecticut. The "Strad" is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. It's all about the cabinet folks, but this radio performs very well too. All of the capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead were added. I can't say enough about the Gary Marvin refinish on this radio! If you're fortunate enough to own a radio refinished by this master, consider yourself lucky! This is one of the best examples of this radio you will ever find. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. The dial cover is crystal-clear. All the boxes are checked with this radio. You don't see the Quilted Maple version very often, and in this condition...never! 11"W x 6"H x 5-1/2"D. $1,395.00. (1600579)
Emerson CV316 (1939) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Emerson Extraordinary! This is a very nice/rare Emerson CV316 in the coveted artsy Ingraham cabinet. What a cool design as is most Ingraham cabinets, but this one is beyond description the way it appears is that the radio is two (flat one pushed into to the oval cabinet)... really special & different from any other radio I've ever seen. The oval top nestles on the fluted flat face giving it a space age look. Hope my pics do it justice with all the angles. I don't think this has been offered on the Attic previously. Actually I cannot find much info on this particular set. It's a five-tube AM band table radio from my smoke free home/collection. It is a very strong player picking up all across the dial. Since it is from my collection, I know it was restored prior to being added to my shelves, else it would not be there…point is it is an older restore as it has been there for at least five or six years. Nice original condition, including original finish & inlays, Emerson bullet knobs, lighted dial, dial cover, factory embossed back, speaker, etc + the Ingraham factory tag on bottom of case + a stencil of the company in Philly that sold the radio...cool. I did add a new Emerson decal between knobs as is correct. Extremely clean rust free chassis. This one will not disappoint. Quite the center piece & attention getter. 11"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D.Was $575.00, now $460.00. (1640337)
Emerson DA-287 (1940) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) Beautiful Emerson DA-287 in an Ingraham cabinet. Case has been professionally refinished and looks great. Three bands: Short Wave, Police and Broadcast. The band switch original knob is on the back of the chassis. As you switch from one band to another, the small colored jewels in the top of the case light up for each band. Tunes stations on both broadcast and short wave although better reception with an extended antenna wire (included). The Police band was discontinued many years ago. The dial lamp works fine. New crystal clear dial cover. New safe power cord. Foreign station locations shown on the dial. Three original Emerson knobs for on/off/volume, tone and tuning. Original Ingram tag on the bottom. It's a beautiful imposing radio, sized at about 16"W x 10"H x 7-1/2"D. Will be expertly packed and promptly shipped. From a smoke free home. Shipping via FedEx Ground/Home. Shipping is a flat $25 no matter where you live in the Continental United States. I accept Venmo, Zelle or emailed checks (front and back). I no longer accept PayPal or mailed checks. A fantastic and beautiful radio at a great price! $325.00. (1650664)
Emerson DB-327 (1940) (Wood tube table radio) Psst... ever seen a cardboard radio? First time on the Attic for this extremely unusual and rare Emerson with a typical AA5 chassis mounted in a cabinet made of patterned pressboard. The one like this most often seen is the rectangular model 461 from a couple of years later. This one is much more visually interesting, with the arched top and pattern that makes it look something like leather. Information on why Emerson went to pressboard for these is scarce, but they were certainly cheaper new than a radio with a wood or Bakelite shell. I don't know how many sold, but the cabinet composition surely meant that there aren't many of these left. This one is in decent shape, with some fraying and separation and flaking of the pressboard, but all of the seams are tight and it's holding together quite well. The knobs are original. The chassis has been serviced, tubes checked, caps replaced, alignment and lubrication taken care of, so it plays as good as new--and it's an Emerson AA5 so it performs better than most bargain sets. For the Emerson collector who has almost everything, or an oddball to start conversations, make this noble experiment part of your collection today. Like all radios I sell, this will be well-packed using industrial-grade materials in a correctly-sized box to survive the rigors of the journey. Please contact me if you have any more questions, or want additional photos. $125.00. (1560069)
Emerson DR1-343 (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) Nice Emerson DR1-343 radio in a very attractive Ingraham cabinet. The Ingraham label is still on the bottom. It is a fine performing set and picks up lots of AM stations just with its built-in loop antenna. Connect an external longwise antenna to the wire with the alligator clip and you get really impressive reception! All tubes have been tested good and bad capacitors and resistors replaced. I have added a cable with an audio plug so you can plug it into a smartphone and play music through the radio (just tune to a quiet portion of the band first).

Emerson DS-436 (1940-1941) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) When I was a kid, Cadillac was the king of cars. If a radio was going to be a Cadillac, it would be this awesome Emerson DS346. This thing has features galore. Linear scale indicators for volume and tone. A bright new tuning eye. Huge, perfect, "shock mounted" 8-inch speaker that sounds just incredible, driven by the perfectly matched 6L6 push-pull outputs. A very well designed chassis that has a unique mounting, where it is suspended on rubber washers instead of sitting on the base like most are. The Ingraham cabinet is very stylish and ornate. A couple of "witness marks" too deep to sand, so I filled them before covering the cabinet with 18 coats of lacquer for a nice, slick finish. A not too bad stain on the top. The chassis was restored when I got it, and the workmanship looks good. Receives well on the internal antenna with a wire for external. These are rare. Only two have sold, both last year.

We replaced all of the capacitors with Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, new antenna lead, audio input cable and a new power cord were installed. The Ingraham cabinet has Burl Walnut and Walnut veneers with maple and ebony inlays. Gary stripped the cabinet, and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original chassis, speaker and knobs are with the set, as are the Emerson and Ingraham badging.

ERLA 271-A (1931) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) This rather rare radio dating from the very early thirties is an impressive ERLA (Electrical Research Laboratories, Chicago) cathedral radio with a "flat top" and a Hammond clock in the center of the speaker grille. This is a special & unusual set with its "flat top" has a rather unique look for a cathedral. I believe the grille cloth to be original as are the knobs, speaker, dial etc. The case has been nicely refinished and restored by previous owner, & plays with great sound and selectivity with a supplied short antenna. Nice clean chassis & is a seven-tuber driven by a single 45 output! The electric clock also runs, but like all clocks of the era, is not self starting. It is easy to spin the clock into work, with the spinner in the back of the set. It is held in place by retaining clips and can be easily snapped into & out of cabinet. It is a quality one made by Hammond Clock, well known for a recognizable name and quality. This is a large set & the size alone, makes for the impressive appearance, but will require proper packaging & materials. I pack very well using over-sized box & all new materials. The weight is an impressive 42 pounds. The exceptional set would be a fine addition to any collection. 19"H x 14"W x 11"D.Was $529.00, now $423.20. (1640286)

A basic All American Five tube radio that was sold in various hardware stores under the EverBest brand.

FADA 169B (?) Hazeltine Neutrodyne (1925?) (Wood tube casket radio) I recently purchased a small collection from a nice lady whose husband is in poor health. Among that was this 1925ish FADA 169B? Hazeltine Neutrodyne TRF receiver. This is a five-tube radio that can drive either headphones or a speaker. For those not familiar with these, this is not your modern Superheterodyne radio. This is a three-dial TRF. The operation is part science, part magic, and part art. There is no HI-FI here. All five 01A tubes test better than new, and according to Radio Electric Supply, are worth more than I am asking for this whole setup. I'm not leaving you with anything else to buy. I have fitted it with a 110v supply, period correct headphones and a speaker. I am even including the FADA assembly and operation manual. I had to strip and refinish the Beckly Ralston cabinet. This will require a substantial external antenna for all but very strong local stations. It is large and heavy, so shipping will be a consideration. This is a very nice example of early AM radio. I'm losing my shirt here, but I want this little sweetie to find a good home. 27"W x 12"H x 10"D. $200.00. (1680157)
FADA 740 (1947) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This is a sweet Midget Radio made by FADA Radio and Electric of New Jersey and manufactured around 1947.

The pictures don't do this radio justice! The cabinet is swirled with what look to be gold highlights. The cabinet is in very nice condition with no cracks or chips. The dial face was quite faded so it got a replacement dial face and plastic lens. The radio plays strong across the AM dial. It includes an auxiliary cable so if there is nothing on AM where you live you can use other devices to play music. 9"W x 5-1/2"H x 5"D. $129.00. (1830094)
Fairbanks-Morse 5-A (1938) (Wood tube table radio) Fairbanks-Morse started selling radios in 1934 in Chicago, in the plant that originally housed the Audiola Radio Co., which Fairbanks-Morse purchased. They moved radio production to Indianapolis in 1936. In 1939, the Indianapolis plant burned down, and Fairbanks-Morse ceased radio production in the USA. They did continue to produce radios and later televisions in Canada. The 5-A is a five-tube, AM-only set. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a safety fuse, new power cord, audio input cable and wired in a new antenna. Gary did his usual masterful work on the rounded cabinet. He ended up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. It has the original knobs, a period-correct grille cloth, the chassis, dial cover and speaker are all original. They were quality radios, and always get a lot of attention in collections.

The company usually sold radios and televisions under the Capehart brand.

Firestone S-7398-2 "Olympic" (1941) (Wood tube table radio) Firestone primarily sold tires. Harvey Firestone and Henry Ford were friends, and Firestone supplied all the tires for Ford cars and trucks for many years. Firestone sold many other things in their stores: home appliances, toys, bicycles, tools, sporting goods and auto related accessories. Their radios were made by quality companies such as Stewart-Warner, Detrola, Wells-Gardner, and others. Imagine waiting at Firestone for a tire rotation and walking out the door saying to yourself, "I didn't come here to buy a radio" but you did! The S-7398-2 is a six-tube, AM only AC/DC radio. This model was made by Stewart-Warner and is a very good performing set utilizing an internal loop antenna. This set has fantastic sensitivity and fidelity through a 6-1/2" speaker.

Firestone S-7423-6 "Airchief" (1939) (Wood tube table radio) Firestone radios have always been one of my favorites. They were high quality sets made by Stewart Warner, Emerson, Belmont and others.

The S-7423-6 is a six-tube, AM only AC/DC set. The capacitors were all replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary.

Between 1946 and 1948, they manufactured televisions. They produced over 300 models of portable radios, table radios and consoles. They also made four Catalan models, which are highly collectable. Garod radios are hard to find due to low production numbers. They are known for their beautiful cabinets and colorful dials. The Garod 769 is a six-tube, two-band (AM,SW) AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern values. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and a new antenna lead were installed.

General Electric 7-2927A (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio w/FM) A quick look around my site will tell you this isn't my usual thing. A good friend gave me this GE transistor set with the dial stuck. I got that fixed, so here it is. This is not terribly old. I would guess late 80s? There is a date code: 3733 in the battery box if that helps. It is a very nice and very well made little radio. AM/FM/TVHI/TVLO. Reception is very good on FM, and not bad on AM. Large, easy to read dial, and pretty good sound for a "pocket" transistor. Fairly heavy. Battery included! 6"H x 3-1/2"W x 1-3/4"D. $49.00. (1680139)

General Electric H500 (1939) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here's a sweet sounding little Deco gem from GE, with unusual "thumbwheel" tuning. The cabinet of this chocolate swirled Bakelite is nearly flawless, with no cracks or chips. The five-tube chassis has been totally restored, with new caps, resistors, AC cord and even a new "repro" back. The attached long wire antenna pulls in standard AM stations all across the dial. It will be shipped with the original plain brown knob, or a spiffy white one, your choice. $250.00. (0610080)
General Electric H-610 (1939) (Bakelite tube table radio) Spectacular marbling of the Bakelite cabinet & full Bakelite back make this pre-war beauty highly desired! Additionally, this glossy example of Deco lines & curves is without cracks/chips. The original dial scale, pointer & knobs are in great shape. The seven tube AM only chassis plays well & still has most of the bottom label. 10"W x 7"H x 6"D. A collection centerpiece! $495.00. (0250140)
General Electric H-640 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) General Electric is one of the giants in the radio and television industry, starting in 1892 and still in business today! Their products are of a very high quality, and the H-640 is no exception. The three "H" series models all use the same chassis, with the H-640 being the most stylish with a gorgeous all-Mahogany cabinet. The H-640 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) AC/DC radio. It utilizes a ballast tube for voltage regulation in the set. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a new power cord and a safety fuse. The radio is a fantastic performer using the original "tuned" GE loop antenna. I was picking up some short wave in my shop, which doesn't happen very often. The side mounted 6-inch speaker actually has its own "enclosure" which helps produce a much better fidelity with a lot of volume. Most of the wood cabinets in the 30's used Walnut veneers, so the Mahogany sets are rare. Gary completely stripped the cabinet and refinished it, ending up with a gorgeous lacquer finish. The grain of the Mahogany veneer is beautiful and unique. The set has the original speaker, knobs, pushbuttons and bezels. There is some debate on what the bezels are made of...Bakelite, or possibly even Catalan? They are usually in bad shape, but these are in perfect condition! This awesome, high-performing radio is ready to go! 19-1/2"W x 10-1/2"H x 10"D. $795.00. (1600623)
General Electric J62 (1940/1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The unique and attractive J62 "jewel box" was a very good seller for GE and quite a few have survived. This one had been stripped, stained and varnished when I got it. You can't strip wiped on stain, so I touched it up the best I could and put ten coats of lacquer and two sanding operations on it. Still some grain and joints showing. I was able to remove most of the stain from the latticework and grille to give it back some contrast. The last guy left the GE logo, so there was nothing I could do about that. The back cover has a small piece broken off near the bottom. All that said, the chassis is well made and a fairly good performer. The sound is surprisingly good from the perfect 5-inch speaker. Receives well on the internal antennas, with a terminal for external. I made a cable for the phono jack. As with the original, you tune off-station and connect your mobile device. My usual thorough restoration, with all high testing tubes for long service life. Despite its minor shortcomings, this is still a very nice little radio. Broadcast and short wave. 15"W x 10-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D. $249.00. (1680116)
General Electric J-80 (1932) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) Here is a beautiful & coveted Gothic GE cathedral. It is an eight-tube early Super-het. I always thought the slender/tall appearance set it apart from others of that era. This one maintains original finish with that factory light contrasting toning showing very little wear (esp. for a 93 yr. old radio). The speaker cloth, floral knobs, 10-inch speaker, dial, escutcheon, etc. are all factory original as well as factory sticker. Chassis is rust-free as well. The set was recently restored, replacing all caps, tubes where needed & same for resistors that were out of tolerance. It plays very well across the dial with the short attached wire antenna. Just a very nice radio for play/display. Overall, I think it is one of the nicest examples of the GE J-80 you are likely to see. It is heavy & large, but I pack very well in new over-sized heavy duty box, using all new large bubble/padding filling all voids in box. 19"H x 14"W x 10-1/2"D.Was $629.00, now $503.20. (1640328)
General Electric K-63 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) In 1876, Thomas Edison formed the Edison General Electric Company. In 1879, a second company emerged, the Thomas-Houston Company. In 1892, these two companies merged, forming the General Electric Company. In 1896, General Electric was one of the first 12 companies listed on the new Dow Jones Industrials stock exchange. In 1919, GE acquired RCA. To this day, GE is the only remaining original listed company on the stock exchange. The GE K-63 is very similar to the RCA 120. The cabinets are much alike except for a few minor differences, and the electronics are the same. The K-63 is a six-tube, two-band (AM,police) radio. Blake replaced all of the capacitors. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and audio input cable were added. The cabinet is totally original, one of the finest original finishes I have ever seen. Whoever owned this radio over the course of it's life took very good care of it. The radio has the original knobs, chassis and speaker. You don't see many of this model around much, as it's only the second one available on the Radio Attic. For those of you that like original finish radios, it doesn't get much better than this! 15-1/2"H x 13"W x 9-1/2"D. $595.00. (1600611)

General Electric P-816A (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works well. It takes an obscure 9 volt battery (not included) that is cylindrical. It has a couple little chips at tabs on the bottom but back stays on good anyway. The leather case is in poor shape. $20.00. (1430699)
General Electric P830C (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works pretty well but not as loud as it should. Loud enough in a quiet room though. I had a hard time figuring out if I want to call this working or not but I'll go with working as it picks up many stations clearly. The radio itself has no cracks or chips or dents or hairlines, but one tooth tab is missing on right side (common with these) but other one is working great to keep back on. This radio takes a cylindrical 9 volt battery (not included). $50.00. (1430814)
General Electric P-831A (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Works weakly. It has your typical missing teeth on bottom of inside of back panel but back stays on when holding it upside down. It sure looks nice and is quite a display piece. $40.00. (1430940)
General Electric P-845A (Plastic transistor portable radio) Radio works and is very sensitive to direction it's sitting for some reason. Loud and clear on some and some you need to reposition. It is clean, no cracks or chips or hairlines. There is wear but nothing bad. $40.00. (1430900)
General Electric P885-W (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Excellent radio in excellent shape. It works loud but takes an obscure cylindrical EverReady 4 volt E133 or equivalent (not included). I believe a replacement is available online. The leather case is in good shape too. $30.00. (1430640)

General Electric P2720A Rechargeable (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) This very rare rechargeable radio is working; however, I think the rechargeable batteries don't hold a charge very long and it sounds mostly distorted. Still, I am able to pick up several stations with decent volume, maybe about 70% normal. The recharging dock is included. You can play radio right from the dock and when you remove radio it still works, but I can't guarantee it working for very long. This radio and base charger are both in spectacular shape - no damage, just normal wear but not much. $75.00. (1430941)

Gilfillan 58M (1948) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a rare, all-original 1948 Gilfillan 58M "bullet" radio. Its Bakelite cabinet retains its showroom shine and is free of any cracks, chips, or warps except for one hardly noticeable hairline along the top left back edge that doesn't detract at all from its machine age beauty. It retains its original knobs, dial cover, back cover with model label, and power cord. Its five-tube superheterodyne chassis has been restored with all electrolytics and weak tubes replaced. The radio lights up beautifully in the dark and is now a strong player, picking up all my local stations loud and clear across the entire AM dial. After more than 40 years of collecting, I can safely say that this set is a superb example of this rarely seen model. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 9-3/4"W x 5-1/2"H x 6"D. $880.00. (1750139)
Gilfillan 521-T (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Aux or BT) Medium sized cube wooden tabletop. It is a five-tube superhet and picks up stations well. Two bands including AM and SW. The chassis is rebuilt as per my shop info section. The cabinet was refinished in quality toner lacquers and sealed with clear. Overall, a great sounding and good looking radio. New speaker cloth as well. Nice multi-color dial with backlit dial lamp. Long wire antenna included. Included aux input on this radio. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers.

The dial shows minor wear near the center from the pointer. The chassis has been serviced including a new NOS tuning eye. The set receives strong AM but little is offered on the short wave. 17"W x 9-1/2"H x 9"D. $599.00. (0260864)
Gilfillan 711-T (1937) (Wood tube table radio) Gilfillan radios were manufactured in Los Angeles at the Gilfillan factory with the permission of RCA utilizing their Heterodyne process patents. They were made for distribution primarily on the West Coast and most of their dial scales in the mid 30's are stationized. Gilfillan produced radios for scores of other companies. They took on several new partners and name changes and I believe that they are still in business today. The 711-T is a seven-tube, AM-only radio. It has a tuning eye tube and sports a "stationized" dial. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, power cord, antenna lead and an audio input for Bluetooth have been added. Gary refinished the cabinet, and ended up with a beautiful hand-polished "piano" lacquer finish. The radio has the original knobs, chassis and 6-inch speaker. Those of you that collect Las Angeles radios won't find a nicer representation of this model. That been said, here's a gorgeous radio that would grace any collection! 17"W x 10"H x 9"D. $695.00. (1600644)

Golden Star 6 Transistor (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Rare radio in great shape, externally there are no cracks or chips or dents or hairlines. There is a little inner edge Plaskon plastic that has chipped off bottom left and top right but can't be seen with back on and it stays on. Leather case is in good shape but strap is torn. Radio works but mostly static so it might need a re-cap. $100.00. (1430943)
Goliath P-156S (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio has no cracks or chips or dents or hairlines and I can't get it to work although my attempt to get it to work wasn't great. It might work. The spring inside has a bit of corrosion at the negative end of the "C" battery compartment. $150.00. (1430944)
Goodyear 015070 "Wings" Cube (1942) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Goodyear, like other tire manufactures, sold radios and appliances in their tire stores. As people waited for the tire work, they could browse the other products, usually of good quality. Goodyear only manufactured tires, so their other products were made by other companies and branded for them. This model is a seven-tube, three-band (SB,SW,Police). It has good fidelity and plenty of volume featuring push-pull audio through an 8-inch speaker. Cube radios were very popular and this one was no exception. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. We checked all of the resistors and tubes, replacing where needed. We installed an audio cable for external devices, new antenna leads, a new power cord and a safety fuse. Gary stripped the cabinet, and using high-quality toner and grain filler, he refinished the radio and ended up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. He installed a crystal-clear dial cover. It has a perfect Tenite escutcheon design that says "Art Deco" all day long! The chassis, speaker and wood knobs are factory original to the set. The push buttons are preset to NW stations and they work perfectly! It plays loud with good tone on all of my local and distant AM broadcasts. There is no mention of this model in the Antique Radio Museum or the Radio Attic, so this is a quite rare model. 14"W x 13"H x 11"D. $695.00. (1600637)
Goodyear 602A "Wings" (1937) (Plaskon tube table radio) Here is a very rare Art Deco radio made by Belmont for the Goodyear tire company. This is the same radio as the Belmont "Scottie." The electronics have been restored and it works good with a long wire for an antenna. The Plaskon case has a couple of stress cracks even with the volume knob. There are three small ones at the back by the grille bars. The radio displays well. I have not seen one listed on the Attic before so take advantage of this rare set. 11"W x 8"H x 7"D. $295.00. (1270295)

Grundig Micro Boy 201 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio has one chip bottom left but otherwise very clean and no other chips or cracks or dents or hairlines.

Grunow 450 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio) The Grunow model 450 was offered in 1934 and as Art Deco was already in full swing. This is at the very least one of the best all original examples you could hope to find. There is also an historical aspect to this set that makes it even more special. The shortwave capability was professionally removed. German and Japanese Americans were required to turn in their radios to have the shortwave disabled. There is plenty of discussion to be had on how this was enforced, but represents a part of WWII history. The clean chassis has been serviced and delivers strong clear AM reception. Add this great piece of radio history to your collection. 13"H x 9"W x 7"D. $595.00. (0260876)

Herofon Petite AM-FM (1958) (Wood tube table radio w/FM) Ove Hede Nielsen began making radios in 1928 in a corner of his father's bicycle making plant. Annual productions of Herofon radios reached 10,000 units in 1939. In 1955, the Herofon name was changed to Arena and began simultaneously producing TVs. By 1960, Arena was the largest Danish producer of radios. Into the 1960s, Arena's development department created the component system, which led to faster repairs and the production of turntables and speakers. Arena's fortunes turned downward in 1970 when they suffered a devastating plant fire, the second of three, in the Hede Nielsen Factory's history. 12,000 radios, 4000 TVs, 20,000 speakers, and 1,000 turntables were lost in the blaze. Subsequently, Arena was sold to Rank Bush Murphy, from England, their business deteriorated, and employees ran the business with no success. In 1975, Scandinavia's most modern radio and TV factory closed, forever. Our model has four tubes, AM and two SW bands, one speaker, and a beautiful teak wood case. It plays well. Our restorer added one power transformer to aid in the 220VAC conversion, and replaced one UABC80 NOS tube, one UL84 NOS tube, one UF89 NOS tube, and one UCH81 NOS tube. $800.00. (1300082)

Hoffman A200 (1946) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This attractive unit is a All American Five-tube superheterodyne radio. Hoffman Radio was created by Les Hoffman, who was sent to collect a debt at the Mission Bell Radio factory in Los Angeles. He arrived to find the company closed and the doors locked! He bought the company in 1941 and created radio and Television receivers until 1971. The radio cabinet has no cracks or chips. This radio has its original back. I have recapped the radio checked resistors for tolerance lubricated the volume control and tuner assembly. The radio receives well across the AM band and plays very nicely! 11-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D. $139.00. (1830043)

No dial scale, just a window with the original RCA pointer underneath. The chassis has been restored with new capacitors and checked resistors. Plays well with a long wire antenna. 10"W x 7"H x 7"D with lid closed. $99.00. (1550033)
Honeytone 6 Transistor (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Rare transistor radio here. Works too, very well. No cracks or chips or dents or hairlines except inner teeth on bottom are not there so back doesn't stay on well. Doesn't matter if you have it sitting on a shelf or in the leather case which is in good shape. You'll most likely never see one of these again. $190.00. (1430734)
Howard 5G-T TRF (1932) (Wood tube tombstone radio) This is a tuned radio frequency radio from 1932. The design uses technology popular before the superheterodyne radio was invented. So, it is definitely a page out of radio history, and unlike other TRF radios shaped like a coffin it uses only one tuning knob to operate. I also installed a small audio input jack on the back. The radio is a true example of radio history. $250.00. (1410043)
Howard 275 (1937) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Howard Radio Co., Chicago, IL only made a limited number of collectible radios and this is one of them. Howard also manufactured radios for Capehart, Sears and Hallicrafters, some of the high end radios of the day. This tombstone with the green tuning in the dial scale looks great at night and for a six-tube set, it really has a great sound and is very sensitive, picking up many stations. It has AM and two SW bands. The chassis had some surface rust and was stripped and repainted with Rustoleum hammered gold. The controls were cleaned and lubricated and the tuning capacitor was cleaned and lubed and the mounting grommets were replaced. All tubes were tested on my Hickok 600A and weak or defective tubes were replaced. All electrolytic and wax paper capacitors were replaced and any resistors out of tolerance were replaced. The cabinet was tight and the finish in excellent condition, so I just shot it with a few coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. 15-1/2"H x 13-1/4"W x 9"D. $375.00. (1610011)
Howard SG-B "Green Diamond" (1930) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/Aux or BT) What a gorgeous cabinet design! This shouldered cathedral -- with its burl trim, inlayed patterns, delicate latticework, and carved finials -- is very pleasing to the eye. The finish on this cabinet is original, and in outstanding condition for its age. This Howard model is rarely seen, so another one is not likely to appear for some time. The chassis is very clean and has been fully restored with new capacitors, good tubes, new resistors where needed, and a new vintage-style power cord. It has been meticulously aligned to perform like new with good dial calibration. The circuitry represents the closing chapter of an earlier era, with a TRF design and no AVC, but it performs well and sounds good with the provided wire antenna. Grab this one before I decide to keep it for myself! 17-1/2"H x 15"W x 11-1/2"D. $750.00. (1310172)

Ida NTR-120 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Here is a nice looking six-transistor shirt pocket radio. It was made in Japan around 1961 but I'm not sure who made it. It goes by several names. Anyway, the radio plays well with a 9 volt battery. Nice reverse painted front and black case made for a good looking radio. $45.00. (1820053)
Imperial 6YR-21 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works but distorts so it'll need some work. Tiny hairlines top right and top left and little stress top left. Great shape otherwise with some wear but not abuse. $40.00. (1430947)
Imperial Boy*s Radio (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works okay but it's just got two transistors. It has no cracks or chips or hairlines, but someone left it in the vinyl plastic case (not included) and the side and back have become rough. It'll take a bit of sanding and polishing if it bothers you. The box (fair shape) and warranty are included. $65.00. (1430524)

Instruct-A-Kit Teaching Aids Radio (1959) ON SALE! (Plaskon tube table radio) Here is Pixie sized Plaskon Mid Century beauty, but unknown model from unknown manufacturer other than Japan. My research came up with very little other than: Instruct-A-Kit Radios were sold as Educational kits to teach electronic hobbyist & newbies component assemblies including soldering, etc. back in the late 50's - early 60's. I recently purchased from the original owner who is also a lifelong ham operator who purchased kit new, assembled it & kept in his collection for 65 years. It looks like it just came out of the box new! Kind of a rare find especially in this condition. It is very similar to 1959 G.E. model T129 & the O.M.G.S. made in Japan. Also very similar to the Montclair which I just recently sold on the Attic. It is in pristine condition housed in its Ivory Plaskon case. All I can say definitively it is a five-tuber with those Mid Century design that rocks. Chrome brights in both knobs. The tuning knob states "Teaching Aids for Tomorrow's World." There is also a factory schematic & tube layout on bottom. It does pick up my local stations, but I would not declare it a strong performer. Condition is primo...rate it a 10 out of 10; simply perfect. I suppose it's a hybrid. It is very light weight & won't take up much room on the shelf & should ship inexpensively. Only 7"W x 4-1/2"H x 3-1/2"D.Was $179.00, now $143.20. (1640388)

Jackson-Bell 62 "Fleur-de-Lis" (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Jackson Bell started radio production in Los Angeles, CA in 1926. Herb Bell began the business with his brother Elmer. Gilfillan made the chassis and Elmer made the cabinets. At one time or another, the whole family was involved in the business, including their father Anton. In 1929, Herb became partners with Mr. Jackson, and the company ceased operations in 1933. The model 62 is a six-tube, AM only radio. The radio had been restored by the previous owner, and Blake checked it out making sure it met our standards. A period-correct cloth power cord was installed. An audio cable is not available for this radio. Gary stripped the walnut cabinet. He finished the radio with a satin finish. The radio is gorgeous and has the original knobs and grille cloth. Also present is the often-missing "velvet tone" label located on the lower front of the radio. I think this tag is found only on the Fleur-de-Lis model. Other designs are the Swan, Tulip, Sunburst, Peacock, and the iconic Peter pan. If you are looking for a Fleur-de-Lis for your collection, it would be difficult to find one better than this one. 15"H x 13"W x 8-1/2"D. $429.00. (1600303)
Jackson-Bell "The Fan" (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) "The Fan" is our second recent Jackson-Bell posting. I have written in previous ads that starting in 1926, the whole Bell family worked in the company in various positions, and Herb Bell oversaw the whole company. Mr. Jackson joined up with Bell in 1926. Not much is known about Jackson, but he did invest $5000 into the company. Jackson-Bell produced thousands of "Midget Radios" and was one of the first companies to start superheterodyne production in the Gilfillan factory in Los Angeles. "The Fan" was produced later, possibly towards the end of production in 1933. As far as a model number...I restored and sold a Model 99 here on the Radio Attic in 2023. I'm guessing that "The Fan" was a later production and has a model number from 64 to 96...or possibly 84-89. "The Fan" is an six-tube, AM only TRF set. The radio has push-pull audio through an 8-inch speaker and has plenty of volume. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input cable and antenna lead were installed. Gary did a fantastic job or stripping the old finish off. He applied ebony and walnut colored toner and ended up with a satin lacquer finish. This gorgeous radio has the original knobs, speaker and chassis. You're not going to find a nicer version anywhere! A wonderful and historic California radio to add to your collection. 16"H x 13"W x 8"D. $499.00. (1600590)

Hardly any wear, leather case included and in great shape too. $175.00. (1430867)
Jewell Tube Tester Radio Test Set (Test equipment) Nice vintage Jewell radio test set and tube tester. Looks to be pretty complete in original leather case. Interestingly you can test the tube as it perform in the radio's circuit. It has a plug that plugs into the tube socket in the radio. You then plug the tube into the tester and analyze it as it is performing in the radio's circuit! I have not tested it as I don't have a manual instructing its use. $50.00. (1160046)
Jewel 304 "Pixie" Portable (Catalin tube portable radio) Portable battery radio. Unique wrapped leather case. Antenna inside lid. $48.00. (1540051)
Jewel 955 (1949) (Bakelite tube table radio) Nice combination of asymmetrical lines/curves reminiscent of the Art Deco period. This unpainted jet black Bakelite cabinet sparkles without cracks/chips! The reverse painted gold/black vertical dial scale is clear, crisp and complete. It sits in front of its original ivory dial pointer with that eye catching red background! Excellent ivory control knobs & red logo accent this beauty nicely. The four tube AM only chassis plays well with its extended wire antenna.

Jewel T.S.-10 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Nice radio - plays very well. No cracks or chips or dents or hairlines. Nice, clean working set. I am including a standard 9 volt battery; I taped on the contacts as the battery this takes is an old obsolete cylindrical battery (available online). It seems better to just use this battery and tape it on the contacts and keep this baby stock. Accidentally deleted the pic of the back but back is in good shape, just a bit of minor wear. $60.00. (1430791)
Jewel T.S.-10 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) New old stock, truly new in box but caps are drying out and it's not as loud as it should be but still picks up plenty, smoothly at low volume.

Kadette 41 "Jewel" (1935) ON SALE! (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a beautiful original, rare small Kadette "Jewel" model 41 with a natural gloss & marbled Tenite Art Deco grille insert. This is the Kadette "Jewel" three-tube radio and is one of the first radios to feature in a Bakelite case, made in the early 1930's around the time of the Depression. The Tenite grille is nicely marbleized with no damage. This three-tube tube radio was manufactured in 1935 by the International Radio Corp. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. IRC manufactured many different radios, some bearing the Kadette name, including the first mass-produced AC/DC radio, the first pocket radio, and the first clock radio. This set is considered a midget sized table radio model. The stepped design with molded ridges and the Art Deco geometric designed Tenite grille insert make this radio a standout. This combination of plastics and cabinet style make it very popular and sought after by collectors. Original as original can be except for a nice repro cardboard back. The Bakelite case and trim have no cracks, chips, burns or repairs except for a very tight 2-inch stress on lower right toward back bottom (looks more like a very light scratch & hard to find, but is there); please see last photo. This set is older restore electronically, but is not a strong player requiring a very long antenna (not included) thus, is being sold as non-working & should be gone over by a qualified technician if you want a player. About7-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/3"D.Was $269.00, now $215.20. (1640382)

Plays well along the dial picking up four of my local stations with an attached antenna wire. Dial lights brightly. This is a very sought after set and looks great. The chassis is in great condition and very clean and retains the large copper capacitor, which is now inert but on the chassis for appearances. It is usually missing from most. A difficult to find set with a beautiful cabinet and very clean chassis. A high end set with a well-known name with collectors and at a great price that would make a wonderful addition to any collection. 17-1/2"H x 17"W x 10-1/2"D and is 26 lbs. 8 oz prior to a very secure packing and shipping. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers. Please see my shop info for shipping and payment options. This thing is a brick and is heavy.

Learadio 561-562-563? (1947) (Wood tube table radio) A very novel cabinet from the inventor of the Lear jet and Motorola car radio. I haven't seen any thing like it for factory production. It's too bad it has paint on it. Good grille cloth. Works very well. Replaced all capacitors and aligned. $39.00. (1370222)
Learadio 6614 (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) Greek-like stately styling complete with tesselate patterns around the base makes this high-gloss, marble color Bakelite radio a standout!

Lifelong Baby Boom Box (Plastic replica radio w/FM) Unused. $14.00. (1540045)
Little Giant HFL-4 (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) The Little Giant from Radio Products Corp. is a rare set. It does fit the norm for small cathedral sets from the early 1930's. It is a four-tube TRF radio. The cabinet is in excellent condition and has been beautifully refinished. The grille cloth is reproduction but matches the original. The chassis has been serviced and retains the original speaker and power cord. The radio gets strong clear reception across the dial which has the early 0 to 100 scale. If you are not familiar with TRF sets, they will squeal if you turn the volume too high. A nice example from a little known manufacturer. $279.00. (0260896)
Lyric S-6 (by Wurlitzer, 1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) I know! I had no idea Wurlitzer sold radios either, until I saw this very cool looking Lyric S-6. Turns out Wurlitzer bought out All American Mohawk co in 1930 to get a line of radios to sell. They took a couple of hints from the Philco 90, with some Zebra wood to fancy up the arch, and gave it some Philco 90ish columns, producing a pretty eye catching radio. There's nothing fancy here besides that arch, and a brightly lit dial. On-off, volume and tune are all the controls on the well made chassis, which is driving a very nice 8-inch speaker. Sound is surprisingly good after my usual thorough chassis restoration and a full alignment. 18 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations produced a nice slick finish with a few very minor flaws that all of these hundred year old radios have. I had to make one of the knobs, and it ain't perfect, but no one will notice it if you don't tell them. This is a very nice looking radio from a very famous American company, and not one you see every day. One has sold on the Attic for $659. Requires an external antenna. 16-1/2"H x 13"W x 8-1/2"D. $599.00. (1680167)

The radio grille is a little curved at edges and a little of it is missing at top edge but not real noticeable with white grille. Leather case is in decent shape and fully functional. This is the early AM-2. $170.00. (1430949)
Magnavox AM-80 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Here is a quality built eight-transistor radio. This is their model AM-80. It was made in Japan around 1961. The radio plays loud and clear.

(1820017)
Maguire 500-D (New in Box) (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) This one is for the true radio purist. A rare find. Packed at the factory 61 years ago & unopened until this year! Stored in a dry mold/smoke free environment it still retains its "new radio" smell-no kidding!! Ivory painted Bakelite cabinet with ivory Plaskon knobs. It would be a plain jane if not for that illuminated "bubble" dial with wonderful blue accenting. Nice back & bottom label. The original box, packing materials & sheet instructions are in superb condition as well. Electronics need servicing & can be for an additional fee. Additional photos available upon serious inquiry only. A beautiful radio with a unique history! 10"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $495.00. (0250167)
Majestic 5A410 (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) This 1946 five-tube Majestic had a cracked Bakelite cabinet, so after repair I gave it a custom paint job using automotive grade basecoats and a urethane clear.

Internal loop antenna for reception of local stations. 12"W x 8"H x 7"D. $250.00. (1550203)

Majestic 44B "Duo Chief" (1934) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is a very nice little collectible chrome grille Majestic that won't take up much room on your shelf and is a very collectable mini tombstone. This is a cool example of the Grigsby-Grunow Majestic “Duo-Chief” from 1934 (you do the math: 91 years old). It has four tubes: 6A7, 6F7, 6Z5 and 41. It has two bands: Broadcast from 535 to 1530 KC, and Short-Wave (old police band) from 1470 to 3500 KC. Both bands work fine with the attached short antenna. The electronics have been restored replacing all capacitors and out of tolerance resistors. This set plays loud and loud/clear picking up all my locals. If you like compact radios, this would be a nice addition to your collection! This is a very nice & clean set that is also a great display piece.

Majestic 59 "Studio" (1933) (Wood tube tombstone radio) In 1933 Majestic came out with an amazing lineup of Art Deco radios. One of the most notable was this model 59. Looking like nothing else at the time. It is a must have for Art Deco radio collectors. This example has been refinished. A new back was made in wood using the original pattern. The knobs, grille cloth and power cord are original. The aluminum grille has been polished and looks great. The radio has been serviced and plays well receiving AM stations across the dial. It's ready for display. 13"1/2"H x 9-1/2"W x 8"D. $899.00. (0260877)
Majestic 70B (1929) (Wood tube console radio) BC. I purchased this set in the late 1980s and restored it in 1992. It's a fantastic example of a fine receiver that features an extraordinary highboy cabinet with many exotic veneers and inlays. In the past 25 years I haven't seen another! The chassis is an excellent performing TRF design with push-pull 71A output and separate power pack. I have taken and gone thru the chassis again this year, aligning it and updating it to current restoration specs. It's time for this magnificent piece to go onto its next caretaker. 53"H x 27-1/2"W x 18"D. $475.00. (0100191)
Majestic 90-B (1929) (Wood tube console radio) This Majestic Model 90-B console has a nice wood cabinet but does not play. The power light comes on, but there is no sound. No shipping. Local pick up only. I am unable to help you lift it. 38"H x 25-1/2"W x 16-1/2"D; weight 110 pounds. $150.00. (1800074)
Majestic 93 (1930) (Wood tube console radio w/Aux or BT) Majestic 93 (1930) BC. This spectacular set is featured on the cover of Alan Douglas' book "Radio manufacturers of the 1920's" with its stunningly massive cabinet draped with ornate burled walnut veneers! $167 when new, the chassis is an eight-tube TRF 90B and one of the first of the AC console sets, has a distance/local antenna feature and works incredibly well for such an early design. The original knobs are still with it and the grille cloth is an exact replica of the original. The original back is also still with the set. This set has an auxiliary input installed, however this does not use the sets volume control. Fully restored and warranted. 44-1/2"H x 28"W x 17"D. $450.00. (0100170)
Majestic 195 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) The model 195 was among the last radios produced by Majestic as they entered bankruptcy. It is more than a rare find as by design most likely the one and only. This retro mod creation completely restored well beyond what is normally seen. With its chrome chassis and new high quality speaker which puts it in a class all its own. The only flaw is the repro dial. A repro dial is not offered for the vertical design so it has the dial used in the model 161 among others. So the dial scale reads backwards. The cabinet has been refinished and in excellent condition with original knobs and grille cloth. The set performs better than new. If you are looking for something special to add to your collection this is it. 16"H x 13"W x 8-1/2"D. $695.00. (0260902)
Majestic 371 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This little Majestic is a set you don't run across often.

The set still has its original line cord as well. The set has been electronically restored and plays great. The chassis is very clean in this set as well as the speaker, all excellent. If you are looking for an all original set then this is the one. These sets are very desirable and hard to come by. 12-1/2"W x 11-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $479.00. (0620117)
Majestic 381 "Treasure Chest" (Wood tube novelty radio) I've seen a lot of "jewel box" and "treasure chest" radios, but they are all just pretenders compared to this ornately decorated Majestic 381. Majestic's cabinet guys went whole hog and created a treasure chest that Blackbeard would be proud to steal. This came to me with the chassis heavily modified. I put it back to all original. I even fitted it with all original Majestic tubes, including the two metal coated ones. For a four-tube novelty radio, the performance is pretty good and the sound from the 4-inch speaker is surprisingly good as well. These topped out on the Attic at $399. If you want a radio people will notice, look no further. Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 10"H x 7-1/2"D. $359.00. (1680174)

Majestic 421-D Tolex Portable (Cloth/leather tube portable radio) This Majestic radio looks like it could be a small suitcase with its Tolex (canvas-like) cabinet covering and carrying handle. Our technician replaced power parts, six metalized film capacitors, and one electrolytic. He performed RF and IF alignment and repaired the dial cord. $425.00. (1300046)
Majestic 1059L (Wood tube table radio) Original finish and nice lighted dial. Rebuilt chassis performs very well. Good original back with tube layout diagram. $225.00. (0380354)
Mantola 24B6 by BF Goodrich (1947) (Wood tube table radio) Solid walnut wood table model. No veneer. There is a small crack between the speaker grille and the dial frame. The case is in beautiful vintage condition. The dial numbers and name are red on a gold tone background. The pointer is red. The plastic dial frame, grille bars, and knobs are brown with a wood figured pattern. It has a nice strong handle. A heavy-duty cord has been installed. Tubes light, but it plays only static. The back is missing. Selling for display or restoration. 12"W x 7-1/4"H x 6"D. $125.00. (1800066)
Mantola 461-5SL (1938) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is an extremely rare radio, and one of the most extreme Art Deco sets ever designed. It is an all-original example in absolutely mint condition. Its swirled brown marble Bakelite case still retains its original showroom shine and model label on its bottom panel. Original knobs, dial and dial cover, power cord, and even complete rare back cover! Its chassis has been completely restored by the previous owner with all electrolytics and weak tubes replaced. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark, and equipped with its "Aeroscope Magic Antenna" it is one of my strongest players, picking up all my local stations loud and clear across the entire AM dial.

Mantola 477-5LQ (1939) (Plastic tube table radio) This Deco style left side waterfall tube radio was made in 1939. The radio plays great. It has had the electrolytic capacitors replaced along with some of the bypass caps. The radio has had custom auto paint applied. A gifted spray tech worked his magic on this radio in a deep purple metallic eggplant lacquer. Has four pushbuttons and a pilot light. 10-1/2"W x 6-3/4"H x 5-1/4"D. $495.00. (1720010)
Mantola R-453 (1940) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This gorgeous radio is the Mantola R-453 manufactured in 1940. Mantola was the brand name of the radios which B.F. Goodrich sold in their Goodrich Silvertown tire stores. Back in the 1930's and 1940's every decent sized city had a Goodrich store. The restorers research indicates that this radio was manufactured by Continental Radio and Television, later known as Admiral. This is a larger table radio at 16"W x 10"H x 8"D. It is a six-tube set with a transformer. The cabinet was stripped and lacquered with three coats and turned out fantastic. It looks just like it did when it was manufactured with a beautiful walnut shade with black trim. All of the capacitors and all out of tolerance resistors were replaced. A new back and a new polycarbonate dial cover was added. In terms of performance, it is very strong throughout the dial and provided excellent sensitivity and tone on both the AM and SW bands. Just a gorgeous example of radio history. $350.00. (1860010)
Marconi (Book) By W.P. Jolly. A biography of Marconi that covers the whole man and his life, as well as his inventions and technical achievements.

One of the last tube radios produced by Marconi in Canada, this is an excellent performer and a welcome addition to a Marconi collection. $195.00. (0970016)
Matheson-Bell AC-55-35 (Wood tube tombstone radio) Here's a sharp little number, one you're not likely to see again! This radio is so rare that I have found exactly zero documentation for it. The Matheson-Bell company made few radios in any case; an offshoot or new project from one of the people behind Ozarka, they were based in Chicago and only lasted for a few years. I purchased this radio from the original owner, who listened to it when he was a boy and made several attempts at modifying and fixing it, including adding the headphone jack you can see at the rear. It is being sold as-is, as a display piece rather than as a fully functional radio, though it does sort of play. I don't know if the grille cloth is original or a replacement. Power cord is original. It has a nice Deco look to it and will make a great shelf display. I hate to part with this, but I want to send it to someone who has the space to appreciate it. It's a compact little tombstone at 14-1/2"H x 11-1/2"W x 7-1/2"D. Like all of my radios, it will be extremely well-packed and protected for shipping. $149.00. (1560015)
Matsushita T-50 (by Panasonic) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Works pretty well, plenty of stations with decent volume, not bad. I've heard louder though. No cracks or chips or dents or hairlines but it could be cleaned I just realized. $60.00. (1430623)

Midge BR-760 SOLD! (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) A very rare radio in any condition. It works, very touchy and the tuning cap could use a lubrication or something as it's stiff. It has a little ~1/2" crack top right and a repaired chip bottom right that was done pretty well. Furthermore, there's a hairline on the front (right side of reverse paint) but because it's on the side it doesn't stand out. It looks to me that someone might have re-painted the grille at some time but I'm not positive. Despite the flaws, this is one really nice radio. $130.00. (1430769)
Midwest SS-18 (1938) (Wood tube console radio w/SW/Aux or BT) (BC+ 5SW). This is one of the infamous Midwest white dialers, originally selling for $85 and never before offered on the Radio Attic.

Mirror-Tone 850 (1947) (Plastic tube table radio) There is nothing extraordinary about this Mirror Tone 850, but somehow the little thing just catches your eye and tugs at the heartstrings. Maybe it's the clean white cabinet with the bright red knobs and dial. Kind of like a cute little girl in her Easter dress. The cabinet is in excellent condition, with no cracks or scratches. A full restoration produced a surprisingly good player for a four-tube midget. All high testing tubes for long service life. Fairly rare, with only a couple having ever sold on the Attic. When I saw it, I had to buy it. I hope you get the same feeling! Requires an external antenna. 8"W x 5"H x 5"D. $195.00. (1680175)
Mirror-Tone RC-4C7 (1946) ON SALE! (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) Manufactured by the John C. Meck company, this cute little four-tube set is labeled as a "Custom Mirror-Tone."

A nice little early post-war radio that doesn't take up a lot of shelf space at 8"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D.Was $89.00, now $69.00. (1790445)
Mitsubishi 3X-345 Earphone-Only Radio (Japan) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) This is a rare and great looking Japanese three-transistor transistor radio from Mitsubishi. It is one of their earlier models and is very hard to find because as far as I can tell it was never sold in the USA. The radio looks great and has no chips or cracks. It is very tiny as seen in the pics. It is an earphone only radio: no speaker. Untested because I don't have the correct batteries. $250.00. (1740005)

Mozart-Grand Horn Speaker (1925) (Speaker) A rare horn dating from about 1925. I have never seen one only finding a couple examples according to the radio horn speaker encyclopedia by Floyd Paul. They were made for Montgomery Ward Airline. This is the upright which came in models 9, 10, 12 and 14. I'm guessing the difference is the cone size. This one measures 10".

Napco 6 Transistor (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio does work but only on a couple stations, one very well but it'll need servicing to get it to 100 percent again. It is a nice looker, just one slight hairline bottom left that I missed at first but I took a good picture of it. This is a nice color and rare. I find it funny that the name of this is "Napco" and "Nipco" was the more common name. $80.00. (1430951)

Out of the Air (Book) By Mary Margaret McBride. Autobiography by the woman who basically invented modern interview journalism on her long-running radio shows. Sitting down with your subject for a conversation might seem commonplace in this age of NPR-style interviewing, but McBride was rocking the boat in an age where the reporter used to stand back with a notebook or a microphone and pepper the subject with questions. In her career, she interviewed everyone from senators to farmhands, nutty inventors to Elizabeth Taylor, in a quiet and welcoming manner that allowed them to tell their whole stories. Now, you can read hers. Hardcover, 8.5 x 5.5, 384 pages, photo section in center. Significant shelf wear and rubbing to dust jacket, book itself is in good shape, solid and complete. $10.00.

Over the Top One-Off Antique Radio Receiver (Wood tube casket radio) This is the most professionally made and most over-the-top one-off antique radio receiver I have ever seen! A whopping 37" long! It's just mind blowing and clearly the product of an extraordinary builder! I have not tested it, don't know where to begin with this one. A note inside reads, "National Champion Home Made Class Lake Placid 1982." May have been an AWA meet? When I opened the back I noticed two wires not connected. The construction quality is professional. The condition is excellent though there is a crack in the front panel but it does not stand out. Too big to ship safely. Needs to be picked up. Located near Spartanburg, SC. One of a kind! $750.00. (1160068)
Ozarka Senior S-1 (1924) (Wood tube table radio) This a rare Ozarka Senior S-1 (1924). Ozarka radios are rarely seen and are highly collectable. They represent a neat part of radio history. Here's how Ozarka got started. J.Matheson Bell, Vice President of Montgomery Ward, left in 1922 to form Ozarka. He contracted Tri-City Radio Company to manufacture his sets and quickly set up a network of door-to-door salesman. It was a great opportunity for individuals to own their own business. Not something that was commonly found in the early 1920's. Bell published a weekly newsletter to motivate his sales team and to let them know about new products coming. He also suggested "new" sales techniques to sell more radios. The S-1 was one of their top-of-the-line radios offered by Ozarka. One of great features is the "pop-up" battery storage under the set. This radio sold for $125.00 in 1924 which would cost approximately $1,700 today. It's in very nice original condition. I received it without the tubes, it is complete and original otherwise. Don't miss the opportunity to own this piece of radio history. 22"W x 14"H x 12"D. $295.00. (0150282)

Panorama KR-6TS60 ("Panorama 60") (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) An incredible find. It should work but it's untested. It looks to use four UM-5 batteries but I've only got one right now, and the battery setup is not easy to figure out how to use bench power supply on it.

Philco 37-60 (Wood tube cathedral radio) From the 1937 model year, this Philco two-band has a refinished cabinet and restored chassis. The front of the cabinet was originally a photo-finish decal which had chipped away from age so the original pattern has been duplicated with lacquer toners and a semi-gloss clear. All wax and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, resistors and tubes checked and alignment peaked. These sets have great sensitivity but need a long wire antenna for reception. 17"H x 14"W x 9"D. $325.00. (1550142)
Philco 38-10 Code 121 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Philco rapidly became a well-known manufacturer in the 30s. Model 38-10 is a five-tube two-band radio: AM 540 to 1720 KC and SW 5.7 to 18 MC. Capacitors and several resistors were replaced as necessary. Tubes were checked, speaker re-coned, and a disconnect installed in the speaker wiring harness to facilitate easy disassembly for chassis service. Rubber tuner and chassis support devices were replaced as these become brittle over the years. This radio has good sensitivity across the band. More internal pictures are available on request 16-1/2"W x 11"H x 10"D. $220.00. (0650056)

Philco 40-120C (1940) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The radios manufactured by Philco in 1940 was a continuation of the 1939 models. The cabinets were more streamlined and the chassis were changed, incorporation internal loop antennas. An interesting side note: this radio had a tag that said it was a 39-6294. I did read that some of the cabinets were left over from 1939 that may have been used for the 1940 radios, and the "39" series tags were left in and used for the new radios. Not sure if that's what happened here? The 40-120C is a six-tube AC/DC, multi band radio. Philco referred to the bands as broadcast and tropical/marine/police. All of the capacitors were replaced with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse and a new power cord were added. Gary stripped the cabinet, which is American Walnut trimmed with Zebrawood. He hand-polished the radio to a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, 5-inch speaker and chassis are all factory original. A new, crystal-clear dial cover from dialcover.com was added. This beautiful Philco is ready to go! 11-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D. $399.00. (1600630)
Philco 41-226 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is one of Philco's rarest and most collectable pre-war sets.

This radio is sporting its original finish, which is in super condition (better than the pic). The chassis has been electronically restored and is super clean condition. This rare little set has minimal warpage on the plastic grille, which are always warped to some degree on these sets.

Philco 46-420 (1946) (Plastic tube table radio) The Philco Hippo is a rather unusual post war design that proved successful then and with collectors today. It does have a fine hairline crack on the left edge to the left of the knob as shown. Then goes to the back edge. It has been reinforced with clear epoxy. It's very hard to see and otherwise nice original example noting the perfect Philco decal along with original back that still clips on. The dial is also in excellent condition. The radio has been serviced and works great. 12"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. $159.00. (0260889)

Philco 51 clock radio (1933) (Wood tube clock radio) 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)
Philco 53-560 (1953) (Bakelite tube table radio) Made for Philco's 1953 model year, this five-tube set has had the chassis restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, replacing any out of tolerance tubes and resistors, and peaking the alignment.

The five tube AM only chassis works well (it has a back special services band switch no longer broadcast on). Comes with its nice original hardboard back & bottom label tube layout. A prized piece for any serious collector! 13-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5"D. $495.00. (0250187)

Philco 80 "JR" Mini Cathedral (1932-1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Money was tight in the early 30s, and a lot of poor performing four-tube radios were produced to address that issue. The "JR" was Philco's entry into this market, but they pulled a trick out of their hat by adding regeneration to the IF stage, giving it the gain of a five-tube receiver at a four-tube price. The cabinet is in very nice condition with only a few minor specs and dings. I gave it an extremely slick finish with 14 coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. There was some staining in the front veneer, but I was afraid to keep sanding. Not quite as bad as the camera makes it seem. The Photo Booth made the sides a little lighter than they actually are, and are closer in tint to the top photo. I had to paint the chassis. A full set of good tubes. All of the Philco capacitors were stuffed with new ones to maintain originality. Resistors replaced as necessary and a full alignment. The speaker is perfect and the sound is decent. The receiver sensitivity is better than most four-tube radios. Taken all together it is a pretty darn nice little radio, and not one you see every day. 14"H x 12"W x 8-1/2"D. $249.00. (1680076)
Philco 89 (1934) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) This set has original finish, knobs and grille cloth in beautiful condition. Chassis fully restored with added RCA jack for your optional audio input. Very responsive on both AM and Police band. Excellent tone! $379.00. (0380518)

Replaced all bad tubes and all capacitors and power supply filters and any out of tolerance resistors; performed complete alignment. $495.00. (1370280)
Philco 90 (Middle, 1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Considered by many to be the king of the cathedrals, the Philco 90 was a masterwork of radio engineering in 1932. Philco created one of the most beautiful cabinets ever made, with a perfect blend of elegance and simplicity. I gave it a slick, piano grade finish with 16 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. This is the "middle" version, with a single 47 output tube, and the improved chassis, implementing AVC in the design. I had the speaker reconed with a modern cone, giving it better sound than the original. I had to replace the veneer on the sides, and there is one small, pretty good veneer repair in the Zebrawood arch. The chassis was very rusty, so I cleaned it and painted it. My usual, professional restoration, replacing all resistors and capacitors, properly stuffing the original caps with modern replacements. A full set of high testing tubes and a full alignment produced a good player with quite accurate dial cal and great sound. If you don't have a 90 yet, this is what you have been waiting for. 19"H x 17"W x 12"D. Requires an external antenna. $899.00. (1680146)

Radio Boys Book: At Mountain Pass (Book) -or- The Midnight Call for Assistance. This 1922 book is the fourth in a series of Radio Boys books by Allen Chapman. Its 218 pages portray an enthusiasm of clean wholesomeness of a bygone era. From the Foreword written by Jack Binns of the New York Tribune: "Although the radio boys in this case are but creatures of the author's imagination, nonetheless they are typical of all the men who have taken part in bringing radio to its present stage. Even Marconi himself likes to take pride in the assertion that he too was at one time an amateur, because he insists that during his early experiments he was only a boy amateur tinkering with the little known subject. There is undoubtedly a great deal of truth in his claim, because the experiments that led to his success were made while he was a youth studying at the Bologna University in Italy." For 100 years of age, the wear on this book reflects on it to be in very good condition. There is minimal staining on the faded blue cloth cover. All pages are present and complete, and have not been dog eared. $40.00. (1720120)

From the book's Forward written by Jack Binns, the well-known radio expert of the New York Tribune, "There is no doubt about the interesting of broadcasting; and equally, there is no doubt about the importance of radio as a means of lifesaving." With this thought in mind, I think that the present volume, detailing the adventures of the Radio Boys, serves a very useful purpose in that it forcibly portrays the use of wireless to bring aid to a disabled ship on the high seas in a storm. The blue cloth cover is faded with minimal wear due to 100 years of reading enjoyment. All pages are present and complete and have not been dog eared reflecting how it has been valued. $40.00.

Among them was E.H. Armstrong." The blue cloth book cover shows fading wear from 100 years of reading enjoyment.

From the book's Forward by Jack Binns, the well-known radio expert of the New York Tribune, "It is very appropriate at this moment when radio has taken the country by storm, and aroused an enthusiasm never before equaled, that the possibilities for boys in this art should be brought out in the interesting and readable manner shown in the first book of the series..."

Now we see them apply it to rescue those threatened by one of Nature's greatest terror - flood. With most homes radio equipped this terror has lost much of its horror because radio broadcasting can now send out timely warning in time of emergency."

The boyhood of America more than any other nation has been absorbed with radio since Marconi first demonstrated its practical use."

From the book's Forward written by Jack Binns of the New York Tribune, "There are two aspects of radio as a vital factor of saving the life and property which are very vividly brought out in this interesting volume of the Radio Boys series - namely its use in connection with the patrol work in detecting forest fires, and the regular international ice patrol in the dangerous waters of the north Atlantic. So splendidly have these two functions of radio been developed, that they have become accepted as commonplace in our lives, and it is only by such stories as 'The Radio Boys with the Forest Rangers' that we are awakened to their importance." This book has been enjoyed by owners from Massachusetts to Oregon. The values they held of the book are reflected in that the pages have not been dog eared and are all present and complete. Ninety-nine years of age has the blue cloth cover well worn and faded. $40.00. (1720121)

RCA touted the use of metal tubes in this radio, and several other radios that they had in the model line this year. Also advertised was the "magic brain" circuit, which was basically a tuned RF circuit. The 10T-1 is a ten-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio that receives all of my local and distant broadcasts with good tone and volume. There are five controls, on/off, volume, tuner, band switch and tone control. There is a colored band switch indicator on the bottom of the dial scale. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalence, and the tubes and resistors were checked and replaced were needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead, and audio input cable were installed. The original chassis, 8-inch full range speaker, grille cloth and knobs are with the radio.

After repairs, the color was changed to an automotive grade urethane black. Internal loop antenna works fairly well for local stations but I included a short length of wire for improved reception. 10"W x 7"H x 6"D. $225.00. (1550120)
RCA 12X (1940) (Bakelite tube table radio) This little 1940 RCA came to me with a cracked cabinet so after restoring the five-tube chassis, I did some custom paintwork on the cabinet. Originally brown Bakelite, it was repainted in a soft yellow then "smoked" to add a visual texture similar to the Catalin radios. Over that I applied a light pearlescent midcoat to give the cabinet a little iridescence. This is all topped by a coat of automotive grade urethane clear. The radio has had all wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. Internal loop antenna for receiving local stations. 10"W x 7"H x 7"D. $275.00.

Fully restored and warranted. 18"W x 12"H x 10-1/2"D. $225.00. (0100193)

RCA 66X9 (1946) (Catalin tube table radio) Here is a six-tube AM-SW Catalin radio known as the "Tuna Boat." It has a very impressive architectural look about it. Having a large RCA "Golden Throat" speaker it has very good tone with a bass & treble control. The case is black with yellow & orange swirling. There is a hairline crack on the left column near the dial. There is some speckling on the top as well. The entire case could use a good polishing which would eliminate this and really make it pop. It has the original knobs, grille cloth and back. It has a built-in antenna which picks up well on both AM and Short Wave. It has two dial lights. I went through it and replaced weak tubes, filters and caps, lubed and cleaned controls, and aligned it as well. It plays out fine.

The balance of this set is original right down to the power cord. Most of the original finish has been preserved. The chassis has been serviced with good AM reception across the dial. I was able to get some AM stations that go beyond 1500 offered on AM but little else. 14"H x 11"W x 7"D. $379.00. (0260905)
RCA 124 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio) Every once and a while we find a unique radio. Their uniqueness and rarity can sometimes be attributed to low production numbers and slow sales. The model 124 was in the 1934 RCA line along with the 128 and 143. I believe the 128 was one of the top sellers that year, and they made a lot of them! Not so with the model 124. I had never seen this model till it showed up on Craigs List in our area, and this is the first one on the Radio Attic. That's how it happens sometimes... The 124 is a six-tube, two band (AM,police). We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We added a new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead and audio input cable. The radio is a good performer, receiving stations across the dial with good tone control and plenty of volume. Gary Marvin stripped off the old finish and started with a clean slate. The speaker grille is repwood, and the cabinet is solid Teak and Mahogany woods. The original knobs, dial scale and chassis are in good condition. A period correct speaker and grille cloth are present. If you're looking for a unique and rare radio, this RCA can't be beat! 15-1/2"H x 11-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D. $849.00. (1600542)
RCA 128 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) RCA introduced a great line up of sets for 1933. Among them was this large striking model 128. These sets are not rare but to find in excellent original condition including the finish, grille cloth and knobs. If you enjoy radios with original integrity this one is for you. The dial has a red glow when lit. The chassis has been serviced and is a strong player receiving AM across the dial and also some short wave. A real show piece at 20"H x 16"W x 11"D. $849.00. (0260874)
RCA 128 (1934) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) This shouldered cathedral is one of the most popular RCA designs of all time!

Fully restored and warranted. 20"H x 17"W x 14"D. $525.00. (0100167)
RCA A20 (Canada, 1939/40) (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) From our RCA friends north of the border in Montreal, Canada comes this really unique model A20 "Globetrotter." The cabinet is just amazing with the waterfall front, chrome effects fronting the original grille cloth, keyboard style tuning dial and side mounted tuning and tone controls. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a fairly good performer on broadcast, and some of the best shortwave reception I've seen on any home receiver. The sound is pretty good from the 5-inch speaker. I rigged up a mobile device cable to plug into the phono jack on the rear. Plug in the cable, switch the switch on the back to phono, and set the volume with the mobile device. The cabinet was refinished by a previous servicer. While it isn't as slick as my work, it is respectable. I gambled on this little sweetie having no idea its value. None has ever sold on the Attic. I think it is a very interesting and eye catching design. I sure would like to find it a good home. Requires an external antenna. 14"W x 11"H x 10"D. $295.00. (1680180)
RCA PX600 "Globetrotter" (1952) (Plastic tube portable radio) A great looking portable with that mid century 50's design. The cabinet has surface wear and a crack in the upper left corner of the back as shown. It has been reinforced with a clear epoxy on the inside. Overall the set still displays well. It has been serviced and plays well across the dial. The radio has not been tested using a battery. 12"W x 7"H x 5-1/2"D. $129.00. (0260852)

Not sure of the restore condition as this is a recent estate acquisition, but it plays very well across the dial picking up all my locals, but I never play my Catalins anyway & as do most Catalin collectors for all the known reasons.

Silvertone WLS Speaker (Speaker) In the early 1920s Sears advertised themselves as the "World's Largest Store." One of their better marketing strategies of the time was to launch one of the most powerful radio stations in the nation, with the call sign WLS, in their home town of Chicago. They then branded radios, speakers and even vacuum tubes with the WLS logo and advertised them on the station. This is one of those products. The brown wrinkle finish is very good and, I believe, original. This is one of the best sounding high impedance speakers I've ever heard. The cord is not frayed and is in nice condition. If you are a Neutrodyne guy, you need this speaker! 14"H x 13"W x 5"D. $160.00. (1680160)
Silver BX110 (Plaskon tube portable radio) Ivory Plaskon four-mini-tube portable with Plaskon handle. No cracks, chips or hairlines except small area at top of tuning knob at back of side.

Skymaster 6G-620 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Yaou made and plays great. It has a chip and associated crack on bottom right. The crack extends up the bottom right about 1-1/2". If it weren't for the chip/crack it'd be near mint. It looks amazing, quite a beauty. $60.00. (1430574)
Skyrover 740 (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a three-Band set with completely rebuilt chassis. Plays strong on AM and shortwave. The little "windows" in the dial change to show which band is selected. Nicely lighted dial. This radio is a clone of the Coronado 740. $289.99. (0380523)
Sky Chief (1940) (Wood tube table radio) This is the first time a Sky Chief has been offered on Radio Attic. Very little is known about this brand. One thing is for certain, they are rare, and have nothing to do with the premium grade of Texaco gasoline! They were definitely a budget priced line, and this bare bones set has just four tubes and ancient TRF circuitry. That, coupled with a small PM speaker, will not astound you with its clarity and pleasing sound. Nor will its sensitivity... you need to attach the long wire antenna to an external source to even receive local stations with the volume control almost all the way open (common for TRF's). It does have a deluxe feature, though...a two position tone control! Because of this primitive circuitry, my usual 3.5mm aux cord could not be installed on this radio. The off-on switch is a bit wonky, it doesn't always want to catch when you turn the set on so you have to gently push up on the control as you turn to get it to click. With no schematic available it makes parts replacement somewhat of a guessing game. It has been totally recapped and the tubes tested strong. The cabinet was totally refinished using multiple spray toners. An unusual and unique radio that doesn't take up a lot of space and would look good on a bookshelf. Be the only kid on your block with a Sky Chief radio! 11"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D. $89.00. (1790486)

Sony TR-65 (1958) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) This is an ultra-rare and collectible Sony TR-65 transistor radio from 1958. Extremely low production. Very few still exist. It's in very good unrestored as-found condition. It should clean up well and polish up nicely and look great when completed. I tested it with a fresh 9-Volt battery and all I could get was a pop when I turned the power switch on, and a low hiss when tuned across the dial. This is actually a good sign that most of the circuitry, which is all still original circuitry, is in working order. Personally, with a radio this rare and historic, I would not change out any of the components in order to get it to function. But it might just have a cold solder joint or some other issue that could be easily repaired while still keeping it original. One thing I noticed when tuning it is that the tuning knob turns in a full circle; in other words, it doesn't stop at the ends of the travel. Not sure why. The cabinet of the radio, although dirty and oxidized, has no chips or cracks. It does have a few minor wire marks, shown in the pictures. The brass nameplate, grille, and metal trim, and plastic cabinet should all polish up quite nicely. Don't miss your chance on this one because these pretty much never come up for sale. It's definitely one of the holy grails of the transistor radio collecting world, especially for Sony collectors. $2,995.00. (1740009)

Spice ST-600 (Plastic transistor portable radio) Radio just has some noise basically, barely picking up a station or two. It needs a re-cap probably because everything else looks great and functions correctly. An incredibly clean knock off to the Spica. It was probably made by Spica and the battery holder is too short like the Spica. I didn't try to shove batteries in there, using my bench power supply to keep this radio pristine.

Stewart-Warner R-119 "Rodney" (1934) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio) Stewart-Warner started up in Chicago in the early 1900's. Known to this day for automobile instrumentation, their speedometers were used initially in the Ford model T, and they quickly grew into a large, international company. They visited schools and universities to find the best newly-graduated engineers to design and build their products. They were a diverse company, and manufactured radios and other products starting in 1925, ending radio production in 1954. The R-119 is a six-tube, AM only radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked, replacing where necessary. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse and audio input cable. The cabinet has Walnut and Maple veneers. Stewart-Warner is known for their gorgeous built-in-house cabinets, and this one is no exception. Gary stripped off the old finish. He restored the cabinet, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, chassis and 8-inch speaker are with the set. This unique radio is one of those "hard-to-find" sets.

Stewart-Warner R-142AS (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Stewart-Warner, based in Chicago, started manufacturing radios in 1925. Up to then they were a very successful company making automotive instruments. The company over-produced radios, making 1000 sets a day. This forced them to sell at reduced rates, not a good business model. The instrument division was always a success and carried the company to profitability. The R-142AS is a five-tube, two-band (SB,police) set. All of the capacitors were replaced with new equivalents. Resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, audio input cable and safety fuse. Gary stripped the radio and skillfully restored the veneer using the bast products. He applied a few coats of lacquer, then polished it to a gorgeous "piano" finish. He installed a reproduction of the original grille cloth. The knobs, 5-inch speaker, dial and chassis are all original. We really like Stewart Warner's "Craft-Built cabinets for quality and design” badge which is present.

The speaker was replaced, the IF & RF were aligned, and its case and covering were cleaned and repaired. This radio plays well. 14-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 6-5/8"D. $410.00. (1300060)

Stewart-Warner R-1802 "Cube" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Stewart-Warner started producing radios in 1925. They had already established themselves, manufacturing high-quality automobile gauges, and their radios were also of a high quality. They hired the best designers and engineers right out of college, and their products reflected that quality and precision. The R-1802 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,Police) radio. I attribute Zenith for producing the first "Cube" design radios. They were great sellers, so most manufacturers followed suit and came out with a "Cube" design. Stewart-Warner was no exception, and they manufactured a few models of their own. All of the capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and audio input cable were installed.

Stromberg-Carlson 130U (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) If you want to get struck all over with Art Deco, I might have just what you need in this very substantial Stromberg-Carlson 130U. The bold, black speaker grille fronts some nice gold pattern grille cloth. The classic SC octagon dial is color coded to match the dots on the band switch knob. Two speed coarse and fine tuning. I reconed the 8-inch speaker with a modern, foam edge cone, giving it better bass response than when it was new. The sound from that speaker is just amazing. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a pretty good player on broadcast and shortwave. This was refinished by a previous servicer and it is very nice. I gave it a little touch up and polish. Seven of these have sold on the Attic topping out at $1895. Somehow the camera made it look like there is a black stripe in the front view grille cloth, but that is not the case. This is a very nice radio, and I feel certain you will be glad you bought it. Requires an external antenna. 20-1/2"H x 15-1/2"W x 12"D. Fairly large and heavy, so shipping will be a consideration. $1,395.00. (1680181)

This set has had an electronic restoration, replacing all paper and filter caps, out of tolerance resistors, a new line cord has been added.

Stromberg-Carlson 1000-J (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) In 1894, Stromberg-Carlson started producing telephones, and by 1900 they were the leader among all of the other telephone manufacturers. They made all of the phones and switchboards used by the signal corps in WWI, and continued producing communication equipment during WWII. They started manufacturing radios in 1923, and obtained an RCA patent for superheterodyne sets in 1927. The 1000-J is a six-tube, AM only AC/DC set. Stromberg-Carlson was well known for having quality radios, and the !000-J utilized a tuned loop antenna, allowing for more tuner sensitivity making it a strong performer. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked for tolerance ranges and replaced where necessary. A safety fuse and power cord were installed. The Walnut cabinet was skillfully refinished by Gary Marvin, ending up with a beautiful lacquer finish. The original knobs, chassis and six-inch speaker are with the set. Gary noted that the cabinet is an Ingraham design. Not many Stromberg-Carlson radios have Ingraham cabinets, so this is a very unique radio in that regard. 15"W x 9"H x 8-1/2"D. $695.00. (1600617)
Stromberg-Carlson 1101-H (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) The movement toward more Bakelite and plastic radios continued after the war. The 1101-H by Stromberg-Carlson is a good example.

The chassis has been serviced and the radio plays well receiving AM stations across the band. Ready to add to your collection. 12"W x 7"H x 7"D. $119.00. (0260907)
Stromberg-Carlson 1110H (1946) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a very unusual Deco designed Stromberg-Carlson that sets it aside from most radios of the day. The contoured "hump back" top cabinet and fluted wrap-around grille with great contrasting wood tones add even more pizazz. The large lighted, detailed vertical dial & brassy bezel which also surrounds the six pre-sets giving it even more of uniqueness. Notice the beautiful wood grains particularly on ends & top. Likely an Ingraham cabinet. The factory stickers on chassis + a full one on bottom of cabinet intact. This radio is a great example offering both BC and SW from a six-tube super-het chassis. It produces a great sound picking up all my local stations & beyond. All this from six tubes & 5-inch speaker. It is a fresh professional restore both physically & electronically. It is simply extra nice! Note this radio has an internal antenna, but you can also add an additional wire antenna, which is not needed in my locale, but might boost reception in remote locations. You can preset the buttons to your favorite stations for either BC or SW which is a very uncommon feature. Original knobs, dial, speaker, etc. Nice clean chassis. Also has a factory phono jack. Ready for play & display! 15-3/4"W x 9-1/4"H x 10"D. Was $429.00, now $343.20. (1640314)
Stromberg-Carlson 1110 (1946) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Stromberg-Carlson got their start making some of the earlier telephone switching equipment. Their equipment was famous for reliability, and when they moved to New York and branched out into radio, they carried that commitment into the new business. This 1110 is a nice example of that commitment to quality. The very well designed chassis is a good performer on the internal antenna, with screws for external. Six preset buttons can be used on either BC or SW, not a common feature. The cabinet is covered with attractive veneers and 15 coats of lacquer for a nice slick finish. I fine tuned a previous restoration, installed all high testing tubes and gave it a full alignment. The sound is the most amazing I have ever heard from a 5-inch speaker. I have provided a mobile device cable for the phono input. The finish on the dial bezel it a bit deteriorated, but not bad enough to risk fooling with it. A few dings and specks, but overall a very nice cabinet. Definitely an upper crust table radio. 16"W x 9-1/2"H x 9"D. $599.00. (1680125)

It's in very nice condition and comes in an original box (marked with a "Black" sticker on the bottom) with the original leather carrying case. It has no cracks or chips other than a couple of stress lines in the reverse plastic. It also has a former owner's name and address engraved into the back cover, and a sort of melted area over the right side of the engraved name and address. And the grille is slightly pushed in, shown in one pic above where my thumb is. I tested it with a fresh 9V battery and all I could get was a pop when I turned the power on and a low hiss as I tuned across the dial. This is not a bad thing though because it indicates that most of the circuitry is still working, and may just need minor repairs in order to get it to play. $695.00. (1740008)
Toshiba 6TP-335 (Japan) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) This is a rare and great looking reverse-painted Japanese transistor radio from Toshiba. It is one of their earlier models and is very hard to find because as far as I can tell it was never sold in the USA. It is a rare variation on the "Coffin" model that has a different reverse painted dial area. The vertical slide rule dial area is reverse painted. The radio looks great and has no chips or cracks but has a very tiny and very hard to photograph stress line on the dial (see pic). Tested and works but it seems to squeal and pop and whine loudly most of the time it's on a station. $450.00. (1740006)

The grille area surrounds the dial and two speakers. The white case is near perfect. The grille cloth has a small, damaged area at the bottom. The small piece could be replaced since it has a hard back for gluing. The volume dial has a small edge broken off, but still works. The original hanger is missing, but my replacement works well. 12" diameter x 4"D. $135.00. (1800037)

The chassis is an AA5 and it has been rebuilt per my shop specs in the shop info section of my page. The graphics and overall condition of the set are great. The graphics are almost perfect. It has a painted metal case and everything is original to the set. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer one. The internals work fine and the coin-op mechanism (often missing from these sets) is intact inside. As you can tell from the pics, the original outside locking mechanism (the off-colored brown door) is missing and was taken out years ago. It was and anti-theft device and I assume was damaged at some time in this radio's lifetime. This one is AM only and has been in my collection for many years. Time to cull the herd.

The grille has been painted an off-white for an attractive contrast. The dial foil is gold with black accent, and shows some wear. The label is present on the bottom with UL sticker. The radio lights up and acts like it wants to bring in a station, but won't. This may be due to our living in an area of extremely poor reception. 7"W x 5"H x 4-1/"D. $170.00. (1720089)

Troy 4 "Deluxe" (1937) (Wood tube table radio) Troy Radio Manufacturing Company/Radio and Television Company started up in Los Angeles in 1932 and went out of business right before WWII. Most of the chassis were made by Gilfillan, and the cabinets were of a high quality. They made several models from four-tube mantle radios to eleven-tube consoles. Even though "Television" is in their business name, I don't think they ever made any, going out of business before anyone was manufacturing them. The Model 4 is a four-tube, AM only. TRF (tuned radio frequency) set. Blake replaced all of the capacitors, checked the resistors and tubes, replacing where needed. He added a new power cable and antenna lead, but this set has no audio cable due to its circuitry. For a four-tube set, it's a good performer with plenty of volume and good tone. Gary refinished the walnut cabinet using the best toners, grain fillers and lacquer. The radio retains the original chassis, speaker, dial and knobs. A new dial cover was added. This is a rare Los Angeles radio, and will look great in any collection! 11"W x 9"H x 7"D. $349.00. (1600563)
Truetone D-703 (1937) ON SALE! (Plaskon tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is an early Art Deco Pre-War Truetone tombstone whose dial & cabinet were designed to sit in upright (tombstone) position or on either side (assume for left or right handers easy tuning). This unique model was also created in Bakelite, but this is the much rarer Plaskon version which is seldom seen, much less for sale. Beautiful flawless Brass grille, Ivory Plaskon that is factory original, including knobs, grille cloth, dial, dial cover, full flawless Plaskon back, speaker, etc. including very clean chassis. The radio was restored by a professional and plays great picking up all my locals & beyond. Even the short antenna appears factory original & does allow for SW access tho there is little on that band now days. Check out that red & brass reverse painted dial which really pops when lit & makes the brass grille even look nicer. There are two very, very minor, tight stresses I should point out, but hardly noticeable. First is 1/4" tight in corner just above right corner of grille. The other is 1/2" tight just below dial toward right knob. I still rate it a 9.5 & if you know Plaskon you will likely agree. The radio has a Continental Radio five-tube chassis, and was sold in Western Auto stores under the Truetone name. A beauty that will not disappoint. Weighs approx. 12 lbs. & about 10"H x 7"W x 6"D.Was $379.00, now $303.20. (1640354)

I threaded a screw into it so you can extend it normally. Balance slider a bit sticky in spite of my best efforts. A lot of tiny scratches in the front I couldn't polish out, but not too noticeable when viewed straight on. A repaired crack in the top (see photo).

Zenith 5-D-011 (1946) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This sweet little five-tube AC/DC radio is a Zenith through and through.

Zenith 5-S-127 (1937) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW/Aux or BT) 1937 and 1938 were banner years for the Zenith Corporation. The Art Deco style resulted in some truly beautiful radios. This 5S127 is one of those radios! The waterfall front and the ribbed side moldings truly highlight the craftsmanship of the era. Truly worthy of the slogan "The Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On." The radio is recapped, resistors are all checked and out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The tubes are all checked and good, and a fuse has been added for safety. The radio has an AM band, and two S/W bands. It is a solid playing radio. An input jack has been added to allow alternative music types if desired. Richard toned and lacquered this radio to a piano finish. 19"H x 13-1/4"W x 9"D. $679.00. (1830072)
Zenith 5-S-319 (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Aux or BT) BC+1SW. This is one of the iconic collectable Zenith Racetrack designs featuring a beautiful lighted oval dial with the pushbutton Feature that came out in 39 in a classic Art Deco cabinet that has its original zebrawood photofinish highlight still in place. This is a five-tube set with very good reception on local stations and short wave with a good antenna. Saved from a fate as a parts set, it was almost entirely intact and got special care in restoration so it can live many more years in like new condition. Auxiliary input installed. Fully restored and warranted. 13"W x 9"H x 8"D. $575.00. (0100194)
Zenith 5-S-319 (1939) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Certain radios really caught the eye of buyers then, and now. This very nice Zenith 5S319 is one of those radios. This was a very good seller for Zenith, and a lot of them have survived. The cabinet is ornate and attractive, fronted with the classic, racetrack shaped dial that gives the set its nickname. The chassis is very well designed and a very good performer on shortwave and Broadcast. The reception is almost exactly as good on "automatic" as on dial tuning, which is rare. I gave it a very nice, slick finish, and my usual meticulous chassis rebuild, replacing all the caps and resistors. Full alignment, and a set of high testing tubes for long service life. Unfortunately, I couldn't save the fake zebra wood strip. To be honest, I have always felt that it looked out of place on the cabinet anyhow. One small veneer repair on the top rear. Knobs and pushbuttons are reproductions. I replaced the dangerous 6X5 rectifier with a solid state one. I can put a real one in there, but if it shorts and blows your power transformer, I won't cover that under warranty. This radio is top shelf in every regard except for the missing photo finish strip, and will be a standout in any collection. Many of these have sold in the 750 to 800 dollar range on Radio attic. I'm pricing this one a little lower because of the missing photo finish. Barring that, if you buy this radio, you will be getting one of the nicest examples of this model you are likely to find. $699.00. (1680137)
Zenith 5-S-319 "Racetrack" (1939) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) I've written about Zenith changing over from large tombstone and "Walton" type radios to a different look and approach at the end of the 1930's into the 1940's. The 5-S-319 for the 1939 model year resembled their "cube" design, but certainly looked like a small version of the 1940 style table radio. The curved side-speaker grille and a more "rounded" design was a sign of things to come. The oval iconic "Racetrack" dial bezel is still very collectable. The 5-S-319 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, audio input cable and safety fuse were installed. The radio plays great, and the audio input cable works quite well. Gary stripped, grain-filled, and painted the radio and finished with a "piano" lacquer finish. The radio has the original knobs, push buttons, speaker, chassis and the original Zenith grille cloth. Here is a perfect example of the desirable "Racetrack" Zenith radio! 13"W x 9"H x 7-1/2"D. $695.00. (1600643)
Zenith 6-B-129 (1937) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW/Aux or BT) (BC+2SW). This stunning back lit multi colored black dial tombstone Zenith is a 6V farm set version of the 8-S-129 with an AC power supply added for use as a plug-in. Performance is very good on both AM and SW with a good antenna, cabinet has been restored properly with the appropriate toning lacquers and new grille cloth for an as-new original look. Fully restored and warranted with an Auxiliary input added. 23"H x 17"W x 13"D. $750.00. (0100195)
Zenith 6-D-029 "Boomerang" (1946) (Wood tube table radio) In 1941, Zenith produced five or six models of the "boomerang" radio, named for the shape of the dial. Designed in wood and Bakelite by Robert Budlong, it was one of the last new radios produced before war production started in April of 1942. The other one was the Trans-Oceanic multi-band radio. In !946, Zenith continued the Consoletone model with a few new "Boomerang" sets. The 6-D-029 is a six-tube, AM only, AC/DC set. New for 1946, it also had the newly designed "wave magnet" loop antenna. We did our usual replacement of all capacitors, checked all the tubes and resistors, replacing where needed. The radio has plenty of volume and receives stations all across the dial. I believe this radio has its original finish, and it's basically perfect, so no reason to do anything to it. The radio has the original knobs, chassis and speaker, a crystal clear Palmquist dial cover, and fitted with a period-correct reproduction grille cloth. This collectable radio is a strong performer, and is priced to sell! 14"W x 8-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $495.00. (1600634)
Zenith 6-D-030 (1946) (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This is the famous Eames designed Zenith Radio. This AA6 radio is recapped and plays well across the band. This radio is unusual because it is a factory painted radio. I have not touched the cabinet, so it shows its nearly 80 year old finish and the price reflects that. $259.00. (1830027)
Zenith 6-D-116 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here we have a unique Zenith radio that had very low production numbers in 1937. An entry level set that Zenith hoped people could afford during a post recession economy. The 6-D-116 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,police) AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern values. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord and safety fuse were installed. Gary refinished the Walnut cabinet and ended up with a gorgeous lacquer finish. The gloss black accent paint was nicely done. The chassis, speaker and unique "Z" wooden knobs are original. The set is a strong performer and picked up several stations on the AM band. This rare Zenith would be a unique addition to your collection. 13-1/2" W x 8-1/2" H x 7-1/2"D. $495.00. (1600608)
Zenith 6-D-317 (1938/1939) (Wood tube table radio) Among the most unique and attractive table radios ever made you would have to count this Zenith 6D317 World's Fair Glass Rod table radio. Zenith made this for the 1938 San Francisco World's fair, and I don't think a great many of them have survived. My buddy John suggested I illuminate the glass rods in a red, white, and blue theme, so I did. I think it's really cool, but if you don't like it there is a switch on the back to turn them off. A very nice finish with 20 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. A few minor shortcomings from 90 years of service. My usual professional chassis restoration. Original knobs and buttons are a bit less than perfect, but very presentable. I had to make the back cover. This is a very unique and highly sought after radio, and not one you see every day. The lighted rods are amazing, and the performance is very good. I have a ton of work in it and I hope you will think it is worth the price. Requires an external antenna. 14"W x 8"H x 8"D. $1,099.00. (1680135)
Zenith 6-D-317 "World's Fair" Glass Rod Radio (Wood tube table radio) This is one of Zenith's most interesting sets, made specifically for the 1939 World's Fair.

The cabinet is solid walnut and it is referred to among collectors as the "Toaster," well because that's what it looks like. The radio is a six-tube AM band "tuned front end" radio. Super dependable, as the ads once stated, "The quality goes in before the name goes on." I love working with these radios! I replaced all of the caps, checked the tubes and resistors and replaced what was needed. The radio was professionally refinished by Old Friends Refinishing in Vancouver, WA.

Zenith 6-D-612 (1942) (Plastic tube table radio) Styling was changing with movement towards a bold design. This beautiful example displays like new with one flaw as shown. I thought it was a hairline crack. Looking inside with bright light I could find no sign of a crack so I'm calling it a 1-1/2" scratch. Otherwise there is hardly a mark on it and retains a high gloss shine. It has a new reproduction back and dial cover. The chassis has been fully serviced and it plays great. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D. $279.00. (0260855)

Powerful, six tube performance with a built in antenna or a short indoor antenna for short wave (supplied). Perfect wood with great original finish and knobs. Restored by Antique Electric Radios. Dial cover, speaker, line cord and capacitors replaced. Tubes checked, tuned, aligned and dial calibrated. 117 volt AC/DC, AM, SW, 14"W x 9"H x 7"D, 7 pounds. $240.00. (0360115)
Zenith 6-S-223 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) There's a reason Zenith sets of this era sold so well back then and are still desirable today. Beautiful design and functionality come together in another winner from the end of the radio alphabet. AM plus two SW bands. Six tubes. Dial lights up nicely. This set has been recapped, aligned, lubricated, new cord, all tubes tested and had an aux input added so you can play anything you want through it. The finish is the only small issue with this set. To my eye, it looks like someone coated over the original finish with more lacquer. It displays well from any distance, but when you get close you can see some "roughness" underneath. It's hard to notice in the photos, and equally hard to notice in person except on close inspection. If I were keeping it, I would keep the finish as-is because it still looks very good, but it's up to the new owner if they would like to try to flow the finish to smooth it a bit or strip and re-do the whole thing. There is also some rubbing and finish loss on the "shoulders" that is fairly minor. Overall, a good-looking and playing example of this iconic set. 19-1/2"W x 11-1'2"H x almost 10"D. As with all my radios, this will be well-packed in industrial-grade packing materials and placed in a correctly-sized box. Please contact me if you have any more questions! $595.00. (1560070)
Zenith 6-S-223 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Aux or BT) Zenith developed a unique design with the cube series of radios. This six-tube radio has a speaker facing frontward, and a chassis that was used in several other models. This radio was physically bigger then its cube cousins and about 25% more expensive. This radio has been recapped and resistors have been checked and those out of tolerance replaced. The radio is aligned, has a auxiliary input and tubes are all checked and in good condition. The radio was refinished by Old Friends Refinishing in Vancouver WA and sports a piano lacquer finish. This high tube count cube is the rarest of the cube line. The radio requires an antenna to tune local and S/W stations. There is a third band known as the police band which is for the most part no longer used. 19-1/4"W x 11-1/2"H x 9-3/4"D. $649.00. (1830084)
Zenith 6-S-229 (1938) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is a beautiful working three-band radio that sounds terrific. The radio has been electronically restored to good working order. The dial belt has been replaced with an original belt. It picks up stations on all bands. The cabinet is in good condition and the finish is good. 18"H x 14"W x 10"D; weighs about 22lbs. $350.00. (1270318)
Zenith 6-S-322 "Stars and Stripes" (1939) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Rare very collectable nicely styled Zenith Model 6-S-322 Stars and Stripes six-tube AM+2SW bands radio. Fully restored with all brand new electrolytic capacitors and other components, and tubes as needed. A new power cord, audio input, safety fuse, and antenna added. Nice style, and lighted dial with brass bezel, and station switched. What a nice clear audio sound this radio produces. The cabinet has been refurbished with a nice "piano" lacquer finish. The grille cloth is new. The reception is real good on all bands. 20"W x 11-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D. Weight about 10 lbs. Shipping cost to be determined at sale. Domestic only.Was $795.00, now $675.75. (1590330)
Zenith 6-S-330 (1939) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here's one you don't see every day. Five of this very sharp Black Dial Zenith 6S330 have sold on the Attic topping out at $899 two years ago. Often referred to by collectors as the "Stars and Stripes" model, I get the "stars" part, but where are the stripes? :) This is a very nice, three-band, six-tuber with five preset buttons, a tone control, and a very accurate dial on broadcast. I gave it a nice, slick finish with 14 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. A few specks and dings remain, but it is really very nice! The 5516 chassis is well made and a very good performer. I reconed the speaker with a modern cone and the sound is better than new. I replaced all the caps and resistors and gave it a full alignment. All high testing tubes for long service life. The chassis was rusted so I had to paint it. The knobs and buttons were missing so I had to replace them with reproductions. The dial escutcheon is original, and a little deteriorated. I've seen them stripped to brass, which I personally like, but I never know what collectors want. A previous restorer haggled a hole in the 6K7 tube shield for the metal tube. All in all, this is a very striking example of this Zenith classic and would be a standout in any collection. Requires an external antenna. 18"H x 13-1/2"W x 9-1/2"D. $799.00. (1680148)
Zenith 6-S-528 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Zenith cranked out a lot of radios with this basic chassis in them. For some reason, the smaller 6S527 is much more common. This one had a previous refinish job that was a little less than perfect, but I didn't want to strip it and lose the woodgrain pinstripes, so I doctored it up the best I could and put eight coats of lacquer over it. The result is a nice slick finish and a fairly good looking and good performing radio. The tint is a little darker at the bottom front, but not as bad as the camera made it look. The speaker has one patch by a previous servicer, but sounds very good. A full set of high testing tubes, all new caps, including stuffing the electrolytic, resistors as necessary and replaced most of the rubber wiring. After alignment, it receives Broadcast fairly well on the internal "wave magnet" antenna. There are screw terminals for shortwave and more distant stations. Remember the old Zenith slogan? "The quality goes in before the name goes on." 16"W x 8-3/4"H x 7-1/2"D. $299.00. (1680099)
Zenith 7-J-232 "Walton" (1938) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 1938 Zenith Walton Radio has now been popular with collectors for over 30 years. They can take center place in any radio collection. This example has been refinished with attention to detail matching the look of the original finish. The grille cloth and knobs are original. The set went through an extensive electronic restoration as shown. It was not only restored to operate on AC but also Battery. I removed the clip on battery hardware as shown. The radio plays great receiving AM across the dial and I was also able to receive some short wave. 23"H x 17"W x 12"D. It doesn't get much better than this. $2,799.00. (0260875)
Zenith 7-J-323 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1939, Zenith manufactured some very large table radios. The cabinet had the depth of a console radio, and the chassis were also used in console models. In 1939, they offered a seven-tube and a nine-tube version. In 1940, they offered an eight-tube version, and a twelve-tube set. The 7-J-323 is seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) AC and six-volt radio. It could operate with a battery out of a car or tractor and Zenith offered a Windcharger that could be used to recharge the battery. These "Farm Sets" are very sensitive. Our tech explained that the circuit enabled these radios to receive weak broadcasts because of the remote location of the radios. This radio was picking up some shortwave stations in the shop during the day, which generally doesn't happen. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where necessary. A new safety fuse, power cord, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. Gary definitely "Marvinized" this cabinet, which was in great condition to start with. The stripping of the old finish and pristine lacquer finish are highlights of his work. The original knobs, chassis and 8-inch speaker are with the set. Gary installed a period-correct grille cloth. There just aren't many of these big Zeniths around as they just didn't make many. Here's a fine example of the seven-tube version completely restored and "collection ready!" 24"W x 14"H x 13"D. $1,195.00. (1600601)
Zenith 7-S-28 (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW/Aux or BT) This was one of three large Tombstone radios Zenith produced in 1936. The dial face which is three colors, and the bezel on the front were unique to this model year. The radio cabinet is amazing. The walnut and veneer highlights on the top and bottom of the radio give it quite a distinctive appearance. Richard, my refinisher went all out on this cabinet! I am sure the pictures tell it all. The tech who rebuilt this radio chassis replaced all of the caps, checked the resistors and tubes, and replaced what was necessary. A fuse has been added for safety. An RCA input jack has been added so other content can be played from a phone or tablet device. This is a seven-tube radio with an AM band and two shortwave bands. The knobs, chassis and speaker are all original, a period grille cloth was added. The radio is good sized at 22-1/2"H x 16-1/2"W x 14"D. $1,495.00. (1830071)
Zenith 7-S-261 (1938) (Wood tube console radio w/SW) 1938 was yet another innovative model year for Zenith. They designed the "robot" dial on which band selection was done mechanically by moving sections of the dial. They started using the green "tuning eye" tube, and designed the highly collectable "Walton" radios. The 7-S-261 was unique with a spectacular "bookcase" style cabinet. The 261 is a seven-tube, three-band (SB,SW,Police) solid wood and Mahogany veneer radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse, new power cord, antenna lead and an audio input cable. The cabinet is a one-of-a-kind bookshelf style... a gorgeous piece of furniture! The striking veneer on the front is made from four pieces of Honduras Flame Mahogany veneer. Gary painstakingly stripped the old finish off and came up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, 12-inch speaker, dial and chassis are with the radio. The Acoustic Adaptor (gold cone) can be pulled out or pushed in for more or less bass response. This radio is extremely rare. It was very expensive for 1938 and could only be purchased by the very wealthy in society. We don't think there are many of them out there, especially restored to this level of perfection. This is the second 7-S-261 we have sold on the Radio Attic. You can make this unique and rare radio yours... and they're aren't many that can make that claim! 32-1/2"H x 30-1/2"W x 14-1/2"D. $2,995.00. (1600596)
Zenith 7-S-432 (1940) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1940, Zenith changed the cabinets and electronics of their radios. Cloth wire was replaced with rubber wire, and electronics were compacted into smaller chassis. The original big round dials of the mid to late '30s were replaced with a much more angular look. Art Deco was fading and the "Machine Age" had arrived. This particular radio used the same chassis and dial with six-, seven-, and eight-tube configurations. This seven-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) set was a good performer. It has surprising good volume and fidelity for a table radio. We replaced all of the capacitors. Resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and audio input cable were installed. Gary stripped the Walnut cabinet, and refinished using the best grain fillers and paint. He ended up with a beautiful hand-polished lacquer "piano" finish. He installed a new grille cloth and the Zebrawood accent decal is in good condition. The original knobs, push buttons, tone controls, 6-inch speaker and chassis are with the set. The radio has the original back and internal loop antenna. This is a beautiful representation of Zenith's new 1940 design, ready for your collection! 17-1/4"W x 9"H x 10-1/2"D. $625.00. (1600645)
Zenith 7-S-529 (1941) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) You will find the 7S529 offered from time to time but rarely in nice all original condition. At 85 the radio has aged very well. As clean and original inside as it is out. The set has been fully serviced with strong AM reception across the dial. It also has good short wave reception making it an all around good performer. The push button selectors are electronic. With the radio turned off the visual enjoyment continues. 16"W x 10"H x 10"D. $549.00. (0260908)
Zenith 8-S-137 "Zephyr" (1937) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) 1937 was a huge year for Zenith. The black dials were continued over from 1936 and were a huge hit. Zenith came out with some special models in the 1937 line. Starting with the 12-tube 12-U-158 and the 12-U-159, then the addition of the Stratosphere model. The Stratosphere 1000 only had 300 made. It's so highly collectible that some fetch as much as $100,000 in today's market. The Zephyr also had very low production numbers and are highly sought after by collectors. The 8-S-137 is an eight-tube, three-band (AM,SW,police) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalent. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse, a new power cord and an audio input cable. Here a few comments from Gary Marvin about this particular Zephyr: "This is the only Zephyr tombstone radio that I have had, but I restored a cabinet for a regular customer once. This model came with six tubes and eight tubes and they are very low production cabinets and rarely seen. The horizontal bars are Maple and the cabinet is Australian Laurel veneers. I believe that most of the eight-tube models were made for export and they came with a power transformer that is easily adjustable up to 230 volts and a black 8-inch Zenith speaker. I don't know how this one came from the factory with a 10" speaker! I am including a picture of the 10-inch speaker board." The radio has the original knobs, chassis and speaker. 23-1/2"H x 18"W x 14"D. $3,995.00. (1600640)
Zenith 8-S-531 (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Somewhat rare Zenith large tabletop radio. Not many of this model were made, between 1000 and 6000. Very nice condition. All original knobs. Completely restored and has a 10" speaker for loud volume and great sound. Same chassis as the console. Beautiful cabinet with Burl highlights. $800.00. (1410035)
Zenith 9-S-30 (1936) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Antique very collectable outstanding Zenith model 9-S-10 Tombstone nine-tube AM and two Shortwave bands. Nice newly finished cabinet with "piano" lacquer finish. Fully restored with all brand new electrolytic caps and other components and tubes as needed. New power cord, audio input, safety fuse, and antenna installed. What a nice clear audio produced by this tube radio. This radio receives very well on all bands. Nicely lite colored dial for clear viewing. I am listening to my music on my iPod through the large 8-inch speaker via the newly added audio input. 24"H x 17"W x 12"D; weight about 20 lbs. Shipping cost to be determined at sale. Domestic only.Was $1,795.00, now $1,525.75. (1590329)
Zenith 11E (1928) (Wood tube casket radio) BC. This stunning very early Zenith is basically a battery model with an external power supply added and AC tube lineup. It's quite sensitive for such an early TRF, performs well, and even has a lighted dial. The cabinet has a beautiful burled walnut veneer that has incredible depth and color. You wont find many of these, its quite heavy and the first time you lift it from the top that's the end of the cabinet, and with all the rubber wiring and potted capacitors in the power supply it takes a great deal of work and a degree of insanity to follow thru to the end for a working radio. The radio includes a fully and properly restored Ansonia 911 speaker ready to play! First offering on Radio Attic, Fully restored and working. 25"W x 10-1/2"H x 13-1/2"D. $350.00. (0100180)
Zenith 12-S-XX Console (model unknown) (Wood tube console radio) Barn Sale radio! Twelve tube black shutter dial, center dial part missing otherwise complete, good wood, poor finish, good grille. 41"H x 27"W x 14"D. $350.00. (0360134)
Zenith 705 (1933) (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) Excellent condition with original grille cloth and finish. Rebuilt chassis with added RCA jack for auxiliary input and copy of schematic. Very good tone and volume. $399.00. (0380464)
Zenith 715 (1933) (Wood tube tombstone radio) As the 1930's progressed, radio cabinet design went away from the Gothic cathedral style to the tombstone. Early tombstones would have touches of cathedral design. With a rounded arch at the top and ornate grilles along with the straight, majestic "skyscraper" influence, this radio has it all, top of the line for Zenith in 1935. The 715 is an eight-tube, standard broadcast only radio. The receiver is one of the best made in 1933. Standing 20 inches tall with an 8-inch speaker, this radio is impressive in stature and performance with volume to spare. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, audio input cable, antenna lead and safety fuse were installed. The tuning meter is very active. Gary knocked it out of the park with a stellar refinish. The butt Walnut front accentuated with the maple top strip and inlay along the pilasters is gorgeous. The original chassis, knobs, dial scale and speaker are with the set. This rare, perfect Zenith can be yours! They ain't makin' 'em anymore folks! 20"H x 16"W x 9-1/2"D. $895.00. (1600526)
Zenith 715 (1933) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio) I am offering a beautiful early, rare Zenith model 715 model that would look great in most/all collections, but does have a couple of flaws. One is the shadow meter in not working & the other is radio plays well, but with a noticeable hum. Needs a wire antenna (supplied). I am pricing accordingly (way below what previous 715s have sold for). It is a beautiful specimen & sort of hate to let it go. It is an eight-tuber with nice inlays as well as elaborate scroll work on the front, beautiful wood trim, wonderful walnut and birds-eye maple veneers, waterfall scalloped top, original bezel and lighted dial scale. Chassis is very clean, grille cloth is era correct & new. Speaker is perfect, knobs are original wood. It would be a super addition to any collection, especially a Zenith collection! 20"H x 15"W x 10"D, shipping weight 30 pounds.Was $575.00, now $460.00. (1640363)
Zenith 805 (1934) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) This lovely little cathedral is a two-band (AM + SW) five-tube set that has been electronically restored- recapped, tubes checked, aligned, lubed, and with an aux input added so you can play whatever you like. The cabinet has a solid original finish with only a few areas of minor rubbing and loss. The grille cloth is original and has some age stains and a small tear (see photo). 15"H x 13"W x 9"D. As with all my radios, this will be well-packed in industrial-grade packing materials and placed in a correctly-sized box. Please contact me if you have any more questions! $395.00. (1560072)
Zenith 908 (1935) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW/Aux or BT) The Zenith 908 is a very rare radio. Manufactured late in 1934 for the 1935 model year, it didn't even make an appearance until February of 1935. Slow sales doomed it for a very short run, and Zenith halted production shortly after its debut. So, finding this sought after radio in restored condition doesn't happen very often. The 908 is a six-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. The 1935 radios were great playing sets. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes have been checked and replaced where needed. There is a new power cord, audio input cable for Bluetooth and a safety fuse. It has excellent sensitivity across the dial with plenty of volume through the 8-inch speaker. Gary refinished the Walnut cabinet that sports a gorgeous Burl Walnut veneer on the front. He applied a couple of coats of catalytic lacquer, then hand-polished to a "piano" finish. The radio has the correct knobs (without the "Z"), the original chassis, dial scale and 8-inch speaker. 18"H x 14-1/2"W x 9-1/2"D $1,495.00. (1600642)

Zenith G503 "Universal" (1950) (Cloth/leather tube portable radio) The 1950 Zenith Universal is a portable set with a black leatherette coving. It was also offered in brown. These are not hard to find but you may never find one this complete. The radio is in very good overall condition and displays well. There are the usual hairline cracks on the dial cover where it hits the knobs at the right and left corners measuring 3/4" to 1". Included is the operating guide stained but complete. A 1963 repair ticket from Sylvan Radio in Washington D.C. An inspection ticket and very rare burgess battery that could be used in the 6G80, and G503 which is no longer viable. The radio has been serviced and plays well. Makes a great display piece. 12"W x 9"H x 6"D. $279.00. (0260886)

Zenith H500 Trans-Oceanic SOLD! (Suitcase tube portable radio w/SW) Considered by many to be the king of the suitcase radios, the Zenith Transoceanic is a masterwork of radio engineering. It has seven bands of broadcast and short wave. There is an internal antenna for broadcast, a separate broadcast antenna to improve performance in vehicles, and a massive telescoping antenna for short wave. There are also screw terminals for a longwire external antenna. This one is in pretty nice condition. There is a little deterioration of the canvas cover, but it is not objectionable to my eye. A little unfortunate solvent splatter on the dial, also not too bad. The knobs are not original but match the set very nicely. A thorough chassis restoration produced a decent player on broadcast. On some of the short wave bands the dial cal is not perfect. The sound is very good from the perfect speaker. Many have sold on the Attic topping out at $269. This one has a few shortcomings, and I'm pricing it accordingly, but it is still a pretty nice example of this model. More photos available on request. 17"W x 12"H x 8"D. $170.00. (1680171)
