SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The Spiegel Catalog Company of Chicago started selling products from their catalog in 1865. In 1934, they started selling radios from various manufacturers, with Detrola producing a lot of them. They eventually narrowed it down to selling just the Aircastle brand, and stopped production by 1954. The Aircastle is a seven-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio. They have large, uniquely colored dials and gorgeous "Art Deco" cabinets. We went through the radio, replacing all of the capacitors with Mylar equivalents. We checked and replaced resistors and tube where needed. A new power chord, safety fuse, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. The tuning eye tube is bright and active. Gary Marvin is one of the premier refinishers in the country, and has spent over 30 years perfecting his craft. He stripped off the old finish, sanded down the beautiful Walnut cabinet, then applied stain and toners. The final step was a few coats of catalyzed lacquer, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" finish. The original knobs, 6-inch speaker and chassis are with the radio. It’s safe today you will not find a nicer example of this rare Aircastle. This radio is priced to sell, and a proud owner will soon have it gracing their collection! 18"W x 10"H x 9-1/2"D. $695.00. (1600671) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Made by Sparton and the same chassis as the Sparton "Lobster" model 6218. 1938 Air Castle "Lobster." Seven tubes with bright green eye tube, AM and Shortwave reception. 20"W x 11"H x 10"D. Cabinet has previously been refinished and looks great. Chassis is very clean as is the inside of the cabinet. I have had this radio for 10+ years. It was restored then and played well, but I have not played it at all over the 10+ years so you might want to have it reviewed. Originally sold on the Attic on 8/22/2013. A fantastic and rare radio that would be a great gift and addition to any collection! I accept Zelle or mailed checks. I will need your full address to give you a shipping quote. I ship via FedEx Ground fully insured. Radio will be expertly packed in an oversized box. Please contact me with any questions. $2,100.00. (1650694) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) First time on Radio Attic for this mid-century modern all white Arvin model. This six-tuber sports its original grille cloth and painted finish on a crack free cabinet. It still retains its shine after 73 years. There is one blemish area on the side where there was a 1-inch diameter smiley face sticker affixed. There was some minor paint loss incurred to remove it that was touched up with matching paint. Barely noticeable and does not detract. The chassis was completely recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. An aux 3.5mm cord was attached at no extra cost for playing your own content through the radio. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in stick antenna. Has a variable tone control knob in the center. 14"W x 7-1/4"H x 7-1/2"D. $119.00. (1790544) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) In the 1920's and 1930's, Atwater Kent radios were known for their beautiful cabinets and performance, and this desirable "Quintessential Cathedral" is no exception. We refer this radio as that because many reproduction radios of today copied this design. As we have noted before on one of our Atwater Kent radios, they were known as the "Cadillac of Radios." This six-tube, three-band (SB, SWx2) features a three-point tone control and two-speed tuning. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A proper alignment ensures peak performance and years of listening. A safety fuse, new power cord and an audio input cable have been install. Gary has professionally refinished the cabinet in semi-gloss with toners and lacquer for a new "factory" finish. Gary said: "This is the cleanest, most original chassis and speaker that I have ever had for this model! The top needed to be refinished but the front is original (restored)". The chassis, knobs, speaker and grille cloth are original. This is an opportunity to own one of the best radio collecting has to offer. 19-1/2"H x 14"W x 10"D $995.00. (1600667) (Wood tube table radio) The majority of the radio business in the early days centered on Chicago and New York. Crosley set up shop in Cincinnati and got to work producing a lot of very nice radios. One such is this nifty TK52. The cabinet is a nice design. Four preset buttons and pretty good sound from the perfect 5-inch speaker. Broadcast and Short Wave up to 15 MHZ. The original finish on this radio is pretty nice, with a few shallow scratches in the top that touched up pretty well. There was no back cover and I couldn't find a picture, so I just made up a generic back for it. The five-tube AC/DC chassis is a fairly good performer on both bands on the internal antenna, with a wire for more distant stations. Only one has sold on the Attic at $250. All in all a nice little radio that won't break the bank. If you are a Crosley person, I'm betting you don't have one of these. 13"W x 7"H x 8"D. $239.00. (1680196) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) A beautiful red Emerson Vanguard 888 AM radio built in 1958. You just don't see the decals on these but this one you do. They are all awesome AM players. For its size which is a little bigger than most pocket radios of that time. It components are at least five times as big as any other small radio I have seen and the case is built much thicker, thus a stronger case and is supposed to never break. They just don't have any cracks or missing pieces. It is a radio which very little will go wrong. It has eight transistors, five new electrolytics and one wax capacitor replacement. This radio uses four "AA" batteries. Your choice. 6-1/2"H x 4"W x 1-3/4"D. $225.00. (0040531)SOLD! (Wood tube table radio) This is one of the most unique Emerson Radios that you will find. Emerson is not only known for very reliable radios, the company is also well known for its very creative and impressive cabinet designs. Many of their wood radio cabinets were designed by the renowned Ingraham Clock Cabinet Maker, Raymond Loewy, one of America's greatest industrial designers. Although this not an Ingraham cabinet, the design of this radio is atypical. This is a 1947 Emerson "History of Nations Book Volume" vacuum tube radio. It's in a hard cardboard leather-like cover with artful graphics in near mint condition. It resembles an 8-volume set of faux books with cloth and leather-style bindings. Near mint & all original including the dial, knobs, grille cloth, hinges, & back cover. It features functional small doors, opening one side typically exposes the radio dial and controls, while opening the other side reveals the speaker grille. Put it on a shelf with other books and you would think it is a volume of encyclopedia. The face of the radio has the unique lighted slide rule dial & on/off/volume & dial control knobs. The radio has a five-tube superhet chassis. It was serviced by a technician and is operating like new. The radio is playing very well, tuning all my local channels. 11"W x 8-1/4"H x 6-3/4"D. $325.00. (1640407) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) 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 58T-2 is a five-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) set. The large, multi-colored dials were a feature of their radios. They were quality radios, and always get a lot of attention in collections. 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 refinishing the Walnut cabinet, which features a gorgeous Maple inlay along the front top. He ended up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. It has the original knobs, a period-correct grille cloth, and the chassis, dial and speaker are all original. If you're looking for a Fairbanks-Morse for your collection, this beautifully restored radio will fill the bill! 18"H x 14"W x 9"D. $895.00. (1600668)SOLD! (Bakelite tube table radio w/FM/Aux or BT) Rare large Bakelite cabinet table model with both AM & FM! Most radios with FM in 1948 were large consoles. Coupled with a small tube count for an AM/FM radio at the time, this makes this a unique set both in design and circuitry. As a result, typical of early FM, it is not super sensitive on that band. It will receive strong local FM stations (there is an attached long wire to the FM ANT terminal that can be extended for better FM reception). AM receives strong across the dial. The radio has been recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. New line cord and aux 3.5mm cord attached for playing your own content through the radio. Has a two-position tone control. The natural finish cabinet has a nice marble swirl pattern throughout. There is one small stress crack that isn't all the way through to the outside (visible in the left side photo towards the back). It doesn't detract at all from the esthetic appeal of this very large, molded cabinet. Rare model that doesn't turn up often (I've never seen one before). The chassis was made by Detrola for Firestone. One of just a few built by Detrola with FM and made just before Detrola closed their operation. 14"W x 9-1/4"H x 9-1/4"D. $199.00. (1790543) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Six-tube Air Chief radio. Three-band BC & 6-18 MC and 9-12 MC, has three-position tone control, push button and manual tuning; also has phono input, internal antenna with provision for external, nice wood cabinet has some blemishes very good reception. Replaced all capacitors and all filters and aligned. $159.00. (1370286) (Wood tube table radio w/Aux or BT) Six-tube wood cabinet GE that has been gone through with new filter and paper caps, new line cord, strong tested set of tubes so that it receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. Or use the 3.5mm aux cord included at no extra cost to play your own content through the radio. Controls were cleaned and lubricated. The off-on switch works a bit hard but clicks on and off as it should. Cabinet finish is all original as is the grille cloth. There are various little nicks and dings on the cabinet consistent with 75 years of age, but it displays well. Too nice to refinish. Original back is present. A basic wood cabinet post war radio with nice graphics on the dial scale. 13-1/4"W x 9-1/4"H x 8"D. $99.00. (1790545)SOLD! (Television) This series of Bakelite cabinet 10-inch TVs by General Electric are nicknamed the "Locomotive" by TV collectors, and are some of the most sought-after sets due to their unique and attractive cabinet design. Unfortunately, many of these sets have been damaged over the years (especially the fragile Bakelite grillework for ventilation on the top of the cabinet). This one is in very nice condition, with no cracks or chips. The chassis has been fully restored to work like new, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, a strong set of tubes, silicon rectifiers in place of the original seleniums, new resistors where needed, and a full video and audio alignment. The picture tube is excellent, with good brightness and contrast. I can advise you on suitable analog TV signal sources to use with antique TVs. Watching old black and white shows on a TV like this is a lot of fun--a recreation of the days when TV was brand new to the public. You probably have enough radios in your collection -- it's time for working antique TV! 14-3/4"H x 12"W x 20-1/4"D. $575.00. (1310232) (Metal communications gear w/SW) Top of the line, works very well. Uses external antenna and speaker. Only thing wrong is response knob is not original. Has sensitivity control, antenna trimmer, band switch .53 to 34 Mc, volume, main tuning and band spread, off-on AVC, noise limiter and AM-CW/SSB, notch frequency and depth controls, selectivity frequency control, pitch control response & sideband control, off on 100kc calibrate switch, receive stand by switch, has headphone jack. $195.00. (1370282) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) A nice playing Magnavox AM radio. It is a great little player and picks up a lot of stations. I replaced all the electrolytic and wax caps. It has been cleaned, lubed and aligned for peak performance. I will include the 9 volt battery with the radio. 4"H x 2-1/2"W x 1-1/2"D. $85.00. (0040552) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) The 1949 Coca-Cola Cooler Radio was produced by Point-of-Purchase Displays Inc. in Chicago as an exclusive promotional in-store display for prime Coca-Cola retailers. Meaning these original tube radios (countless solid-state reproductions were made in the 1990's, with the tell-tale cassette tape player built in) are very scarce because they were not sold in retail outlets to the general public. They don't turn up very often. This example still has its original paint with only minor loss in small areas. Common to these, one of the side grille bars was broken out. A new one was carefully made and paint mixed to match the original color. It is barely noticeable. The five-tube chassis was completely recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. An aux 3.5mm cord was attached at no extra cost for playing your own content through the radio. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. If you've always wanted an original tube powered Coke radio, here's a rare opportunity to acquire one. 12-1/2"W x 10"H x 8-1/2"D. $599.00. (1790542) (Wood tube table radio) Nice wood cabinet. Six tubes with RF amplifier for very good reception, uses long wire antenna. Replaced all capacitors and all power supply filters. $129.00. (1370284) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Excellent wood cabinet farm radio runs on 6 volts. Has BC and two SW bands; also has tone control and dial lite. Six tubes for excellent reception. Uses external antenna. Replaced all capacitors and filters also installed new solid state vibrator and aligned the set. $449.00. (1370287) (Wood tube tombstone radio) This was Philco's top-of-the line radio in the mid 1930s and is a magnificent performer! The monstrous eleven-tube chassis plays through a 10-inch original speaker & push/pull output! This was the second model produced with a fine tuning control which was an added enhancement from the earlier model. Great sensitivity & the shadow meter works well. This radio was completely restored by previous owner, but I did have my Tech inspect and replace two weak tubes including the 80 Globe tube you can see. He also removed the canister & ensured the block caps were replaced. He also realigned & added a mini-jack for your ability to connect to any modern device. This has been tested & works very well also. The "Peak Top" cabinet looks very "original" with correct toners and lacquer having been properly applied for a factory-like finish including the pinstriping. The grille cloth is an authentic reproduction. Knobs, speaker, etc all look original. Nice rust free chassis. Factory tags & schematic still in place inside the cabinet. The 16B is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Grail" of Philco collecting. Don't miss your chance to own the best of the best for a great price. Large & heavy, but I pack very well & ship promptly. 22-1/4"H x 17"W x 12"D. $650.00. (1640409)SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW/Aux or BT) 1937 was the first year Philco began adding the year of manufacture to its model numbers. Thus the 1936 model 610 became the 37-610 in 1937. Five tubes, three bands with a unique glowing dial where the pointer moves up and down to illuminate just the band scale you're using. The shouldered tombstone cabinet sports an all-original finish with a nearly perfect faux finish front panel (this "Philcote" finish is usually hopelessly chipped or damaged). It's unusual to find a time capsule nearly 90-year-old Philco with such a good original finish. All original paper labels present in the cabinet and on the chassis. An exact reproduction grille cloth was used. The grommets were changed on the RF sub chassis, new chassis support grommets, filter and paper capacitors replaced. Tubes all tested good. Plays loud and strong, receiving all of my local stations. Rectifier tube mounted high on top of the power transformer, a cool feature on some 1937-38 Philco models. Requires a long wire external antenna to receive stations or use the 3.5mm aux cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. 18"H x 13-1/4"W x 9-1/2"D. $229.00. (1790541) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Very nice excellent cabinet all original. Has off-on & tone control and fine tuning station selector,has very sensitive shadow meter for precise tuning also has dial lite. Has broadcast and two shortwave bands all have excellent performance. Uses long wire antenna. Has 8-inch speaker. Replaced all capacitors and filters and aligned set. $495.00. (1370283) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Nice wood cabinet.

Replaced bad tubes and all capacitors in block holders and all power supply filters and aligned. 16-1/2"H x 13-1/4"W x 9-1/2"D. $195.00. (1370289) (Wood tube table radio) This late 1930's radio is a classic walnut cased Deco table set from Philco's popular Transitone series. This model was introduced in August 1939 in several color combinations. The walnut finish on this cabinet is original and is in excellent condition. The ivory Plaskon trim is also very nice condition with no warping or cosmetic issues. It has its original back, handle, knobs, and complete label on the bottom. The radio has two bands, AM and the old SW Dick Tracy police band where nothing is available today. The chassis has been checked by a pro, and the radio is playing fine, picking up all my local AM stations without any trouble at all. It has an absolutely super dial when lit up. About 9"W x 6"H x 6"D. It was originally priced at $16.95 in 1939, equivalent to $408 in today's dollars! I believe you would have to classify this as one of my very favorite radios, since ten have been sold on the Radio Attic, and I was the seller of seven of those. This is my last one, and it's time for another Philcoholic to own it! $269.00. (1150955) (Bakelite tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This RCA sub-brand Radiola set 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 Aux cord added at no extra charge for more listening options beyond AM. Crack free natural finish cabinet has a marble swirl pattern throughout. Nice basic "All American Five" that were the workhorse of the post-war era in so many applications, from bedside to kitchen to desktop. 12-1/4"W x 8"H x 7-1/2"D. $99.00. (1790547) (Bakelite tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This ultra-cool five-tube RCA Golden Throat is one of the best sounding AM radios I've ever restored, with its three-position bass/mid/treble control and acoustic front panel (dubbed the "Bullhorn"). Plus it has a built-in RCA phono jack for your MP3 player or other external audio device (in lieu of my usual 3.5mm aux cord). A strong tested set of tubes, it has been recapped, controls cleaned/lubricated. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. Cabinet is all-natural finish and is crack free. There was some damage to the center gold speaker ring that was repaired. 13"W x 10"H x 8-1/2"D. $129.00. (1790550) (Plastic tube table radio w/Aux or BT) This great sounding six-tube RCA Victor Golden Throat is a true survivor. The cabinet sports its original natural finish marble swirl cabinet (with a bold swirl pattern!). It remains as it left the factory in 1946 right down to the grille cloth and beautiful side-lit glass dial that really pops in a darkened room. This AM set is a strong player across the dial and has a variable tone control. Good-tested tubes, new capacitors, new line cord complete this restoration. And it is Bluetooth or MP3 player compatible with a 3.5mm cord installed at no extra charge so you can enjoy your favorite music through the radio by plugging into your device. Be sure to check my other listings as I offer a quantity discount on my radios if you purchase more than one. 13-1/2"W x 8-1/4"H x 7"D. $119.00. (1790551)SOLD! (Metal tube table radio) Cute little four-tube metal cabinet radio. Uses long wire antenna. Very good reception. Replaced capacitors and filters. $69.00. (1370281)SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Sears used the big "Golden Jubilee" dial on several radios in 1936-1938. This large and beautiful table radio is a prime example. Sears used several radio manufacturers for their chassis, this one was produced by Stewart-Warner. The 4565 is an eight-tube, three-band (SB,SW,Police) set with the extended AM dial and an awesome tuning eye tube! We replaced all of the capacitors with new Mylar equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, antenna lead and safety fuse were installed. We added an audio input cable to play your external devices, such as a Bluetooth, iPad or iPhone through the radio. Gary stripped the radio and sanded it down. He used grain fillers and painted the multi-veneered cabinet, finishing off with several coats of lacquer for a beautiful "piano" finish. This radio has original knobs, speaker, chassis, and back. A reproduction grille cloth was installed. The cabinet has beautiful Walnut veneer with a Maple inlay. This is a big, sought-after collector radio! Make it yours! 21"W x 13"H x 11"D. $1,195.00. (1600666) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Silvertone was the brand name for radios sold by the Sears and Roebuck company. Sears branded everything under the sun--even houses--without manufacturing anything. During this period, several companies manufactured radios for Silvertone. This particular radio was manufactured by either Detrola or Colonial, and the chassis looks like a Colonial. Silvertone radios were of a high quality, and they used different cabinet and furniture companies to produce many beautiful cabinets. The 4566 is a seven-tube, three-band (SB,SW,police) radio. This is one of Silvertone's "Golden Jubilee" radios with a gold dial and a tuning eye. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input cable and antenna lead were installed. Gary stripped the cabinet and skillfully restored it, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, chassis and 6-inch speaker are with the radio. The chassis is very clean and the radio plays with good volume and tone. This radio is gorgeous and will look great in any collection! 17-1/4"W x 11"H x 8-1/2"D. $649.00. (1600670)SOLD!

(Plastic transistor portable radio w/FM) The Toho Denki Seiko Yellow FM/AM Radio that came in different names and colors but they all had 15 Transistors and 12 Electrolyte capacitors. To tell you how good they play, my wife heard the first one (green) I restored and she wanted it. Her mother heard it play and wanted the yellow one. Her mother's brother heard hers and wanted one as well. So I never got to sell one. Amazing radio with AVC or Automatic Volume Control which is rare in small radios. More Transistors then a Zenith T/O 7000 and just as many electrolyte capacitors. It runs on four "AA" batteries which are included and you can plug a 6 volt AC charger in it as well.

(1370285) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Truetone was a brand name of Western Auto Supply, formed in 1909 by George Pepperdine, who later founded Pepperdine University in Los Angeles. He eventually sold the business in 1939, and the company continued to prosper. At one point they had 1,200 stores, plus 600 "associate" stores which were the first "franchise" operations in America. There are other versions of this radio, even a Detrola model. Western Auto Supply didn't manufacture radios, but contracted several companies like Gilfillan Bros. in Los Angeles for West Coast distribution and Detrola, Wells-Gardner, Belmont, and Trav-Ler for East Coast sales. This high performing D-1002 was made by Detrola and is a seven-tube, three-band radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead, and an audio input cable. Gary stripped the walnut cabinet and skillfully refinished it ending up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish.

This was the slogan created by "Commander" Eugene F. McDonald Jr., who ran Zenith for 30 years. Much of the innovation in manufacturing and advertisement came from the Commander. By the 1930's he had introduced many things: short wave radio, push-button tuning, rural Windcharger stations, the big black dials and some of the first TV stations in Chicago and the USA. McDonald was also very influential in forming the FCC. By 1950, sales had surpassed $100 million and Zenith employed 5,000 people. This five-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) Art Deco style radio is a gorgeous example of function and design. We restored the chassis by replacing all of the wax/paper capacitors with Mylar equivalences. The tubes and resistors have been tested and replaced as needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input cable and a precise alignment have been added, making this radio very sensitive across the dial. Gary has refinished the cabinet with grain filler, toners and lacquer just as it was done in 1937 for an original "piano" lacquer finish. The wood "Z" knobs are factory originals, the speaker is original and has been reconed. The chassis is like new. The grille cloth is a reproduction of the original. These Zenith tombstone radios used to come up all the time but are now not as easy to find, especially restored to this high level. 19"H x 13"W x 9"D. $795.00. (1600665)SOLD! (Bakelite tube table radio) Zenith created a very stylish "masterpiece in Bakelite" with this radio. It features a right front half round dial, left horizontal wrap-around louvers & waterfall opposite end, brass escutcheon & "Z" knob as well as a nice Retro-Tronics replacement back on the set. Notice the curved gold dial virtually matches the curved cabinet side, big dial pointer, clear dial lens to better see that beautiful lighted dial at night. It really has "pizzaz." Also nice clean, rust free chassis. An absolutely amazing Zenith with such Art Deco design. The case is in wonderful condition, without any significant cosmetic issues, designed by Robert Budlong, one of Zenith's most prolific design engineers. I have had more than one of these over the years & have seen many others, but this one of the nicer ones I have ever had. The factory stamp is still on bottom of set & shows very little wear. The electronics have been completely restored and it plays very nicely on the AM broadcast band, picking up all my local stations & beyond with just the short antenna wire. Nice selectivity & sensitivity! The radio is an excellent example of this iconic model. Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. 10-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D. $249.00.

(1270332) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The Zenith 6S527 and the 6S528 were both sold in the Pre-War 1941 model year. Both had the same chassis. For some reason, the 527 was much more popular. 27 of them have sold on the Attic with only 5 of the 528, topping out at $350 in 2021. I personally like the 528 much better. This one had been stripped and refinished by a previous servicer, removing the pinstripes and knob graphics. The finish was nice, and I decided the price point didn't justify the labor and expense of stripping it again and re-doing all that, so I'm pricing it accordingly. It is still a very attractive radio. The finish is slick and shiny. Broadcast, with four presets, and shortwave to 18 MHZ. Receives well on the internal antenna with screws for an external. The brightly lit gold dial is eye catching. My usual thorough restoration, replacing all the caps, most of the resistors, and most of the rubber wiring. A full set of high testing tubes. One small chip in the right rear corner of the top. One original knob is a little deteriorated, but If I put a repop on there it wouldn't match the others so I left it. I had to make the back cover. If you can get past a couple of shortcomings, this is still a very nice, attractive radio. 16"W x 8-3/4"H x 7-1/2"D. $275.00.

(0150309) (Wood tube table radio) Get a load of this gorgeous Zenith model 707 from 1933. The cabinet is a masterpiece of design, with striking, detailed marquetry top and bottom, composed of four kinds of wood and extremely ornate. The walnut burl front is beautiful. The three-tone bookend sides set it apart from your average mantel radio. The back cover is actually solid wood and looks as good as the front on many radios! The chassis has a rare, metal bottom cover for a quieter receiver. The larger than average, perfect 6-inch speaker gives it pretty darn good sound. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a pretty good player, with a very accurate dial. I worked hard to save the very nice original finish, and overcoated it with six coats of gloss lacquer. It looks better in person than the photo booth made it. A few flaws, but very slick and shiny. I think the grille cloth is original, but not sure. Very rare. Only one has sold on the Attic, at $799 in 2018. This is an extraordinary, hard to find, uniquely designed radio. Sure hope someone will give it a good home. Requires an external antenna. 18"W x 7-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D. $699.00. (1680197) (Wood tube table radio w/FM) Nice wood cabinet has some blemishes AM-FM-AFC. Has tone control and phono input. Replaced wax capacitors and replaced selenium rectifier with diode circuitry. Working very good. $89.00. (1370288) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) A nice looking white 500H which are the most powerful radios of the Royal 500 family. They were even more powerful then the ones built afterward to 1965. This one is premo because of its beautiful case with no cracks or missing pieces. They have a large speaker that takes up the whole radio front and besides having eight transistors, the electrolytic caps are double in value from the early 500's. More power. They come in cream, black and two tone blue. I replaced all electrolyte and wax capacitors. It been cleaned and aligned to play like new. The battery box is clean. I include the batteries with it so it plays out of the box. 6"H x 3-1/2"W x 1-3/4"D. $155.00. (0040551)SOLD! (Plastic transistor portable radio w/FM/SW) A pristine all original Zenith Transoceanic 7000 made in 1969 (one of the first 7000's made). This is the best 7000 I have seen. It came to me with a little dust on the inside. The handle and the top are in excellent condition. The sides are in great shape. Inside the case a little wear around the dial knob. Battery box is pristine. The top looks superb. It comes with a original log book and power cord. Most 7000's play great FM. About 10% play superior FM and this is one of them. There was very little alignment needed on this radio which probably means it was not played a lot. The 7000's built right after the 3000 and 1000 pick up better AM and shortwave than the later 70's 7000-1 or D7000Y. It is restored with all new electrolytic capacitors and some wax caps replacements. It was also cleaned, lubed and each band is aligned for peak performance to play like new. It comes with and original cord, original log book and battery plastic holders. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. 13"W x 9"H x 6-1/2"D. $495.00. (0040549)
