Admiral Y2056 "Deluxe" (1956)
(Plastic tube clock radio) Mid-Century gem! Unusual colored plastic radios are very collectible now, and yellow is very uncommon. This one is a lemon yellow with lighter yellow vented grille area + gold faced clock with black numerals. Not a repaint & no touchups. This vacuum tube set is complete and plays very well with great volume, picking up all my locals without external antenna. The large (6x8-inch) clock also works very well & pops out of the top of cabinet giving the rest a cool "step-down" appearance. Original knobs, clock, cardboard back, etc., and like-new cord. Though the lighter plastics tend to have more problems, the solid yellow case shows only one very faint/tight 1-inch hairline behind the raised clock panel that is difficult to find, can't be felt and won't show up in pictures, but want to mention. No cracks, chips, or major scratches anywhere! Factory label is 95% complete. Cannot find another one for sale nor sold anywhere. Awesome 50's clock radio. 11-1/2"W x 8"H x 6"D. $169.00. (1640312) -

Aetna AHE (Climax, 1937)
(Wood tube table radio w/SW) Aetna was the house brand for Walgreen, the drug-store chain, but like many retailers of the day, they bought their radios from other manufacturers. No doubt this one was made by Climax as it is exactly same cabinet as Climax AC-65 & only the dial is different (check the books & google). This back lit dial is beautiful, esp. lit up. The graphics are perfect on the domed dial & very detailed with the Aetna logo. The Climax Radio and Television Company headquarters was located in Chicago IL. & made radios for several retailers, this one for Walgreens. It has a beautiful "wrap-around" "waterfall" cabinet with nice bright green tuning eye and original backlit dial which shows beautifully when on or off. This is a recent complete electronic restore and plays well across the dial picking up all my local stations and beyond. The speaker, knobs, dial scale as well as grille cloth & chassis appear to be original. It also has most of paper factory sticker on bottom of cabinet. Also still has factory wood back which is nearly always missing. This rare radio is beautifully restored and is a radio ready for play and display for the most discriminating collector! 18"W x 9"H x 8"D. $459.00. (1640311) -

All out of tolerance components replaced. It retains its original cord. Small fracture on the bottom, but no chips and as the pictures show it's quite a stunning piece. $69.00. (1830024)

Airline 62-96 (1934) (Wood tube table radio) Here is a rather unique and compact mantle radio. Manufactured for Montgomery Ward under their house name label, clearly this radio was an expensive one. I am not sure the kind of wood the cabinet was made from, but you can clearly see the unique burl and pattern. Note the fine trim added at the factory which adds to the decorative effort. The five tube chassis is perfect for an urban environment and with the new old stock wire antenna, should offer fine reception. The radio has received a well deserved total restoration. My tech has added a mini-jack to allow your connection to any modern device. This will allow you an unlimited choice of content. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25!

Airline 62-329 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) I've mentioned this before: Montgomery Wards sold millions of products without manufacturing anything! Radios were no exception. Just on the Radio Museum alone over 2,000 models are listed. They did succeed as they used very good radio manufacturers and sold quality products. The list of manufacturers of Airline radios is long. Wells-Gardner, Belmont, Davidson-Haynes, US Radio Corp. and Kingston Radio. Here is a list of the manufacturers' abbreviations used on many labels of Airline radios: AA, BR, CB, CCB, GAA, GHM, GSE, GSL, GWM, HA, JB, JP, KP, KR, WG and others! The 62-329 is a nine-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. The set utilizes two 6F6 tubes for push-pull audio through an 8-inch speaker, which enhances the volume noticeably. 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, antenna lead and an audio input cable were installed. Gary stripped off the old finish, and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, dial scale, chassis and speaker were retained. This radio is a great performer across the dial with plenty of volume and tone control and a bright and active tuning eye tube. This large, unique Airline can be a great addition to your collection, and will offer years of use. It's ready to go to a new home! 23"W x 12-1/2"H x 9"D. $749.00. (1600524)

Airline 62-367 "Teledial" (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In the 1930's, radios were the cutting edge of new electronic innovation for consumers of that generation. Competition was fierce, so manufacturers were constantly improving the radios and adding features. The Teledial was a quick way to dial in your favorite stations without having to manually turn a dial and search. Most of them were set up much like a rotary dial on telephones, and made the tuning process much easier and faster. All the radio manufacturers at one time or another featured Teledials, soon replaced by electric selection and motorized dials. The 62-367 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB+SW) radio. 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 and external audio cable were installed. The Teledial is backlit and the eye tube is bright and active. Gary stripped the Walnut cabinet and skillfully applied lacquer for a gorgeous "piano" finish. The set has original knobs, chassis and speaker. A unique and beautiful radio which will grace anyone's collection! 23-1/2"W x 11"H x 12-1/2"D. $795.00. (1600456)

(0260856)

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 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)

Air Castle 6110 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a stunning radio! The previous owner did a terrific refinish to the cabinet. It was difficult to photo this radio with the depth of the finish and reflection from the dramatic luster. Air Castle was the house brand of Macy's and Spiegel catalogue.

Atwater Kent 44 (1928) (Metal tube casket radio) Among the new line of AC radios in 1928 was the model 44. It came with a price tag of $106.00 without tubes. An additional $20.00 was needed for the model E2 speaker. The speaker is pictured for display only and is not included. All eight tubes are the period correct globe style. It also has the original power cord. There is only very minor cabinet wear and some discoloration of the grille cloth. The set has not been serviced, but when tested I received several stations with good clear sound. The long distance switch did not seem to have any effect. Sold for presentation and display. $295.00.

Atwater Kent 84 (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Atwater Kent made beautifully engineered radios with quality construction and cabinets. This model 84 is a six-tube early superheterodyne. Like most A-K sets, it has a heavy gauge metal chassis with nickel plating. This radio has been well taken care of over the years -- its chassis is wonderfully clean and free of any rust or corrosion. The cabinet still has its original finish in very nice condition. Even the original felt feet are in nice shape. Knobs, dial, and escutcheon are original; only the grille cloth appears to have been replaced by a previous restorer with a pattern similar to the original. A previous tech did a beautiful job replacing capacitors and power cord and adding a safety fuse (something I rarely say about previous restorations by others), and I further improved things with a new rubber roller for the tuner, a replacement vintage volume control, the correct value padder capacitor for proper dial calibration, and a meticulous alignment so it performs like new. You'll appreciate the quality of this radio. 19"H x 15-1/2"W x 9-1/2"D. $695.00. (1310165)

Atwater Kent 84 (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This is a stunning example of a desired Atwater Kent cathedral radio. The company had a fine reputation for making the finest radios of this era. These fine electronics were the most advanced of the early super-het era, and the factory made some of the finest cabinets as well. This example has a professionally refinished cabinet, period correct reproduction speaker cloth and factory knobs. This particular radio has a beautiful book matched veneer front. This radio is remarkable for 91+ years of service. The radio is a classic seven-tube super-het with automatic volume control. The radio has a fine reproduction cloth cord along with a new reproduction plug exactly as sent from the factory. My technician has done an outstanding job making the repairs to the radio, and it plays great. The speaker is a fine sounding replacement.

Atwater Kent 84 (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) When cathedral radios were first offered in the early 1930's, they were referred to as midget or compact radios. They were so much smaller than the console and large "coffin" style radios that preceded them. By today's standards they are quite large and heavy. The model 84 does have a darker "gothic" look, but also has a beauty of its own. The graceful arched and pointed top is graced with simple side moldings. This six-tube, AM-only radio plays loud and clear with great tone and sensitivity through the original 8-inch speaker. 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 antenna lead and an audio input cable. The switch on the back of the chassis is a tone control. Gary Marvin's comment on the cabinet: "This is about the nicest AK that I have ever had and I wouldn't have refinished it, except someone already had. There were no repairs to the cabinet and I refinished it with grain filler, toner and satin lacquer." The chassis, speaker, knobs and grille cloth are original. This beautiful and great performing radio is ready for your collection. Don't miss out on this highly collectable Atwater Kent! They aren't making them any more folks! 19-1/2"H x 15-1/2" W x 10"D. $795.00. (1600532)

Atwater Kent 856 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) This radio was made in 1935 and Atwater Kent stopped production in 1936. Thus, this being one of the last production models, they brought all the advanced elements of their famed history into the manufacture of this model. Note the the lit dial indicators with tiny lights. Added to the dial configuration is a micro tuning employing the "watch dial" which is a dial in a dial for fine tuning purposes. The Atwater Kent 856 is a seven-tube, three-band radio. The dial light changes as you change bands, a cool feature. My tech remarked of the high quality of reception and his professional repair has returned the radio to a like new factory performance.

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)

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)

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)

Climax (model unknown, 1932?) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Most of us that have tried to "research" early Climax radios know there isn't much on the internet about them. Most of the info is a guessing game, and comparing them to known models. I found a few models that were similar to this radio, probably manufactured early 1930's. This radio was originally a five-tube, AM only TRF set. All that remains from the original chassis is the transformer and tuner. We rebuilt this set into an AA5 radio with a ton of features. We installed a solid state AM tuner, built a 5K3 amplifier similar to the same amp found in small Fender guitar amps. This chassis has a contour tone control, a brand new 6-inch speaker, multiple 1/4" outputs for an external speakers. This radio functions perfectly as a tube radio, but can also be used to play guitar and other instruments through. Gary stripped the cabinet and came out with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. This radio would appeal to a collector as a functioning, rare Climax radio, but also to musicians and hi-fi enthusiasts with its audio versatility. We included a 1/4" input with cable adapter to access your external devices. Please call us for more info on this unique radio! $599.00. (1600472)

Coronado 740 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Coronado radios were manufactured by the Gamble-Skogmo Company of Minneapolis. The two men were college buddies, and started in 1920 with an automobile dealership, and then auto parts stores. By 1939 they had 1500 dealers, with 300 stores in 24 states. The company started selling radios in the mid-1930's and had a Los Angeles factory as well. They were affiliated with Western Auto and sold some models in Western Auto stores. The 740 is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio with push-pull audio. It seems over the years that most Coronado radios that are around are battery sets, but this model is an AC set. 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. This radio is a very good performer and is very sensitive across the dial. Gary Marvin stripped off the old finish and refinished with his usual mastery. The end result is a gorgeous lacquer "piano" finish. The chassis, speaker, knobs and glass dial are all original. The grille cloth is an accurate reproduction of the original cloth. This is a great performing set at a great price! 22"W x 12"H x 10"D. $695.00. (1600546)

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)

Coronado TL629 (1938)
SOLD! (Wood tube table radio) Also known as a model 600, this rare Gamble store brand five-tube AM radio also features a magic tuning eye incorporated into the dial. And what a dial it is!

The chassis has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, a strong tested set of tubes. Brand new super bright green eye tube. The controls were cleaned and lubricated to make them move smoothly. Has an attached long wire antenna that needs to be connected to an external source for distant reception.

Crosley 10-135 "Color Radio" (1951)
SOLD! (Plastic tube table radio) Here is a professionally restored 1951 Crosley Retro model 10-135 in a striking one-of-a-kind cherry red color. I know that white is definitely a color, but it just can't compete against this beautiful red. This model Crosley radio is an icon of the 1950's with its automotive inspired design. Crosley offered this model in several colors to match the colors in your home and your decor in every room. In my opinion, they should have offered it in this striking red! You can imagine seeing this color in many 1950's home locations. This is a wonderful color applied by a professional with a baked-on finish. No drippy spray can work here! There are, and never were, any cosmetic issues like cracks, chips or breaks, so no repairs at all were necessary. Beautiful gold dial and chrome knobs. The chassis has been completely checked by my tech, and everything needing replacing was done. The radio is playing very well picking up all my local stations and distant stations at night. About 13"W x 7"H x 7"D. $239.00. (1150908) -
Crosley 11-120U "Dashboard" (1951) (Plastic tube clock radio) This is a nice Crosley Dashboard radio from 1951 being sold for display or restoration. The original white color needs some touch-up. The knobs are in place and the clock is working quietly keeping time. The brass plated escutcheons have some normal wear. The clock plastic cover has stress cracks near the on-off knob. The radio plays local AM stations with some static which I attribute mostly to the many fluorescent lights in my shop. The case has no cracks, chips, repairs, or hairline cracks. There is an appliance plug on the left side. The original label is still on the bottom. About 13"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. $120.00. (1800049)

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.

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 61AF (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is a rather terrific tombstone radio crafted by Crosley Radio from Cincinnati. The radio has both a fine cabinet of striped African mahogany, with a nice refinished job. The speaker cloth is a very period correct reproduction and the knobs and spinner, factory installed. This six-tube dual band receiver is unusual with a spinner type of tuning mechanism. I think it to be very serviceable and don’t know why other radios don't have a like method.

Crosley 124 "Playboy" (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 very good sounding 8-inch speaker and a well designed chassis. If I had known then what I know now I would have scrapped this one. I had to replace the veneer over the arch, make the tube cover and chassis metal pan. I had to paint the chassis. My genius nephew-in-law 3-D printed the escutcheon for me. The top had a tiny bit of ripple which I didn't notice, so when I wet sanded the ten base coats of semigloss, I wound up with that showing through the otherwise nice, slick finish. It isn't as bad as the photo booth lighting made it look in the top photo. It has the early 30s antenna type volume control, so you have to crank it up to get weak stations. Requires an external antenna. It has some shortcomings and I'm pricing it accordingly, but it is still a pretty darn cool radio. 17"W x 17"H x 11"D. $249.00. (1680127)

-
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 168 (1933) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) BC+1SW.

Auxiliary input installed, fully restored and warranted. 16"H x 13-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D.Was $425.00, now $400.00. (0100177)

Crosley 615 "Cruiser" (1936) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Crosley Radio Corporation was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1921 by Powell Crosby. He produced radios at a high volume, and copied the "assembly line" concept, earning him the moniker "The Henry Ford of Radio." He later manufactured appliances, cars and contributed the "proximity fuse" during the war. The 615 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, antenna lead and a new power cord were installed. A full alignment was performed, making this radio a strong performer across the dial. Gary stripped and refinished the gorgeous Walnut cabinet, ending up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The chassis, speaker and knobs are original, and a new crystal-clear dial cover was added. This radio would be a wonderful addition to any collection and can be yours in a matter of days! 16"H x 12"W x 9"D. $699.00. (1600403)

Davison Haynes Aero (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)

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)

Detrola 159 (1937) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Detrola was founded in 1931 by John J. Ross in Detroit Michigan. They started making their own radios, using outside sources for their cabinets. The company grew rather quickly and soon 90% of production was for brands such as Aria, Sears and Roebuck (Silvertone), Western Auto (Truetone) and many brands for other businesses. Production ceased in 1948 over union issues. The 159 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) and is basically an AC/DC radio utilizing an autotransformer. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. Replaced resistors and tubes where needed. A power cord, antenna lead and safety fuse were installed. The radio receives stations on both bands and has plenty of volume. Gary stripped the cabinet and did some nice toner work and ended up with a "piano" lacquer finish. This seldom seen Detrola is a nice entry level radio for your collection, or a unique Detrola for someone looking for something different to add to their collection. 14"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D. $449.00.

Detrola 320 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Detroit was a leader in style & production for several years with their Detrola brand. Here is a very nice & shapely little example of just that. I say "little" because it is only about 13"W x 8"H x 8"D and I say "shapely" because...well, just look at this all original little "domed" or "hump top," rounded ends, with factory finish including the 1-inch faux inlay bands that run all the way round top & bottom of cabinet showing no wear. Many/most of these lost their stripes & it cannot be recreated. In those cases the radios would have to be stripped, toned or cast over with some other home grown method! That in itself makes it quite un-common. Original, knobs, dial, grille cloth, speaker, push buttons. 9.5 on 10.0 scale IMHO. The push buttons can be "pre-set" to your favorite stations easily. Very colorful, lighted dial with clear cover showing perfect numbers. Very clean rust-free chassis + repro back to finish it off. Also important is the fact it was recently professionally restored electronically & it plays strong with great sensitivity, picking up all my locals & beyond. Another fine example of the Detroit radio claim to fame. Ready for play/display. $329.00. (1640297)

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.

Emerson 845 Series B Mother of Pearl Clock Radio (Other material tube clock radio) Custom shop Mother of Pearl tube radio. This radio was made in a custom shop.

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.

-
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. (2430322)

Emerson AM-169 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) You are looking at a really beautiful table radio. The liaison of Emerson Radio and Ingraham Cabinet Company is legendary in the radio world. Ingraham was the premier clock case maker of the era employing the most dramatic designs and exotic veneers.

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 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. $449.00. (1600490)
-

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). It has the original finish which was is very good condition and was topcoated to restore luster. There is a little darkening around the volume knob. A fine and desirable set at a very fair price! $445.00. (1160073)

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. If you missed out on those, here's your chance to own one very impressive radio. 18"W x 12-1/2"H x 12"D. $649.00. (1680122)

Picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without an external wire antenna (has original built-in loop antenna). The cabinet was designed by Ingraham, which would explain the fine maple used and accenting veneers. The cabinet has been refinished using the very finest toning and finishing lacquers, producing a like new look. The distinct airplane-style dial pointer and gold dial stand out with clear dial cover. Dial light works and lights up brightly. Front Emerson decal is in excellent condition. The electronics have been professionally restored .Very clean chassis & nice repro back. This one won't take up much room, as it's only 10-1/4"W x 7-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $169.00. (1640307)
-
Emerson EP375 (1941) (Catalin tube table radio) In 1941 Emerson created the Catalin "5 + 1" with vertical grille bars, five on one side of the dial and one on the other.

The gold dial has a black pointer and a pilot light. The knobs are factory original ivory. The original patinaed shade of green with extensive marbling of many colors can be seen in the photos.

With the advent of television, their sales more than doubled by 1950. Emerson is still in business today. The L-141 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW-disabled) radio.

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. The "cube" design was a rare radio for Emerson, but they wanted to get in on the popularity and sales of the cubes. This is one beautiful radio for any collection, and a wonderful addition to Emerson collections. 14"H x 11"W x 8"D. $799.00. (1600510)

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.

FADA 43 (1930) (Wood tube cathedral radio) You are looking at a very early and extremely scarce early cathedral radio. The five-tube chassis plays on Broadcast only on an earlier type of circuit call a "TRF." I had my cabinet pro do the refinish and he discovered the inky super dark finish was covering Rosewood. At that point, I gave him artistic license to highlight the stunning wood. He choose a super high gloss lacquer hand rub finish to accentuate the gorgeous wood. Please excuse the photos as with the finish being so glossy, there is a bit of reflection and bounce from the flash. There is a bit of uneven areas due to the usual shrinkage of the wood, which is now 88 years old. Les has completed his professional level repairs and the radio plays very well for the more primitive type of circuit. He also added the mini-jack connector allowing you addition of an input device. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! This is a rare and beautiful radio and highly collectible! 18"H x 15-7/8"W x 10-1/2"D. $1,499.00. (0961467)

Flint "Peter Pan" (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) You are looking at an oddity. The radio is a knock off of the highly sought Jackson Bell model 84. The radio is the same "mini." designed to look like a full-sized radio, but much smaller and less expensive allowed in the use in a bedroom or den. The simple four-tube TRF chassis offers the best reception of the stronger and local stations. A four-tube radio of this era is pretty minimal, yet with the installed mini-jack, the radio performs well as a remote player. Note the fine condition of the cabinet, with the detailed dental base moldings. The speaker cloth is also original, and I left the tiny imperfections to retain the originality. My tech went to lengths to restore this radio and it plays well for such a early and primitive circuit. He added a mini-jack for your connection to any type of modern device, AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 10-3/4"H x 8"W x 8"D. $795.00.

Freshman Unknown model (1932) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) Rare is often over-used, but in some cases it is the only word to properly describe an item as in this case with this offering.

BRC is Belmont Radio Corp & they made radios for: Classique, Crusader, Freshman, Goodyear Wings, Imperial, Starck Classique, Truetone. This Freshman model unknown.

Ornate scrolling & cut-outs, the Deco lines of the cabinet, waterfall top, super clean chassis with original speaker plus everything else including the knobs, dial etc. The new grille repro cloth is era correct and also very attractive. What a great looking dial bezel with the ship sailing to add to the décor. The dial light follows the channel. It has been completely restored electronically & plays very strong. The previous owner also added Bluetooth capability using the flip switch you can see neatly attached to chassis + jack. It also plays extremely well on Bluetooth.

General 610SP (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a General Radio manufactured by The Clinton Radio Company. In 1933, The Clinton Manufacturing Company opened for business at 128 N. Clinton Street. The president was Nathan Siegel, who owned Siegel Electrical Supply Company, located next door at 130 N. Clinton Street. He represented the CeCo line of vacuum tubes, among other products. In 1934, the business moved to 1217 W. Washington Blvd., across the street from the offices and studios of Chicago's power-house radio station WLS, and remained there until purchased (and absorbed) by Sonora Radio and Television Corporation in late 1938. This radio is a five-tube radio with a ballast tube. The radio has been restored by local rebuilder Blake Dietze, plays well across the AM/SW bands. All capacitors have been replaced, tubes tested and resistors checked. The radio has been stripped, toned and re-lacquered. This is a relatively rare radio and presents quite well. $349.00. (1830026)

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 F-62 (Canada, 1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1892, the merger of Edison Light Electric Company and Thomson-Houston Electric Light Company of Canada created the Canadian General Electric Company. GE took over existing facilities that were already manufacturing generators, transformers, motors, wire and cable and lamps. They started manufacturing tubes in 1921 and small appliances in 1922 and continued well into the 1940's. The GE F-62 was a Canadian made six-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. Resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a safety fuse, new power cord, audio input cable and antenna lead. The radio is a very good performer across the dial. Gary stripped off the old finish. This gorgeous radio of Mahogany and Zebrawood veneers turned out with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, chassis, speaker and dial scale are original. Tenite bezels, which are usually found shrunk and cracked, is in perfect condition. The dial cover is crystal-clear and the band indicator is located at the bottom of the dial. A really nice and unique radio for anyone's collection! 19-1/4"W x 12"H x 9"D. $679.00. (1600548)
-

It will be shipped with the original plain brown knob, or a spiffy white one, your choice.
$250.00. (0610080)
-
General Electric H-610UX (1939) (Beetle tube table radio) 1939 General Electric model H-610UX Beetle case radio. This radio is untested but does appear someone has done some work on it.

-
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-64 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is one of General Electric's largest pre-war table radios. The J-64 comes with a big 6-1/2" speaker for a big sound and weighs in at 22 pounds. It certainly wasn't designed to be very portable! The six-tube three-band radio comes with AM and two Shortwave bands. There is excellent reception on all three bands, although there isn't much on Shortwave these days. Cosmetically, this radio looks beautiful and has been stripped and professional refinished using the finest lacquers available. New decals were also applied. The grille cloth is also new. All of the capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. A new polarized power cord has been installed as well. I left the station tabs blank so that you can insert the tabs for the stations that are nearest your location. In summary, a powerful sounding, beautiful looking radio from the excellent engineers at General Electric. 18-1/2"W x 10"H x 9-1/4"D. $349.00. (1780020)

General Electric Junior S-22x "Clock Radio" (1931) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio) The S-22x is an early superheterodyne set, probably the first one GE offered to the consumer. Prior to the "new" superset process, most radios were TRF (tuned radio frequency). Superheterodyne radios were designed by Edward Howard Armstrong, who sold the patent to GE. The only way you could get a superhet was from RCA, Westinghouse, GE or build one yourself! The S-22x is an eight-tube, AM only radio. With a matched pair of 45 audio tubes and a 10-inch speaker, the set had decent fidelity and volume for an early superset. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where needed. The Telechron clock works and keeps good time. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse and an audio input. We also added a nice on board antenna that works nicely with plenty of wire for the antenna lead. Gary did a fantastic job refinishing the cabinet, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, speaker, "faux" handle and chassis are present. A new dial scale was installed. This chassis was used in a few other models: S-22 (same radio without the clock), RCA Superette R-7 Graybill Midget GB-8 and the Canadian Westinghouse version of the "Columaire" grandfather clock radio. This very rare and desirable radio is ready to go and will offer years of performance! This is a big heavy radio (44lbs) and will be packed correctly for shipping. 20"H x 13-1/2"W x 10"D. $1,195.00. (1600528)

The cabinet finish, grille cloth, cloth line cord and knobs are all original! The front panel features an amazing grain pattern that displays exceptionally well. The chassis has been recapped and plays well, receiving all of my local stations with its antenna wire clipped to an external antenna source. The offset knob changes from broadcast to the now obsolete police band. If you're looking for a small cathedral with an exceptionally ornate cabinet to add to your collection, consider this fine example. 16"H x 13"W x 9-1/2"D. $249.00. (1790279) -

-
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.

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. (2430142)

General Electric Unknown Model (Bakelite tube table radio w/SW) Not quite sure exactly what this model is. It may be a model L44J5 and the chassis design is similar to a LCP596. The antenna board, patent decal and dial pointer sure look like Continental/Admiral to me. At any rate, its five-tube AM and shortwave chassis has been restored by replacing wax and electrolytic capacitors, checking tubes and resistors, and peaking alignment. The Bakelite cabinet was originally painted white but after repairing a crack it received an automotive quality urethane repaint. Internal antenna for local reception. 12"W x 7"H x 7"D. $175.00.

General Television/Climax "Emerald 1st Version" (1937)
SOLD! (Wood tube table radio) You are looking at one of the rarest sets to ever grace Radio Attic. Manufactured in 1937 by General Television who merged with the Climax Radio Corporation three years earlier, this radio's pristine cabinet, made of butt cut walnut veneers, is clearly one of the edgiest ever made. Climax/General Television went all out in 1937 with this extreme Art Deco "Emerald" 1st version, the only one made with an oval dial and gold escutcheon. The cabinet has been beautifully refinished, the chassis has been restored, all caps and weak tubes have been replaced, even the dial marker has been hand polished and detailed. Having been completely restored inside and out, it is an excellent example of this truly rare radio classic that is now one of my best players that picks up my local stations across the entire AM dial extremely loud and clear. The additional mini-jack now also allows you to stream your favorite tunes from your phone or other device. Needless to say, this radio would make a great addition to any serious collection. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal smoke-free collection. About 18"W x 8-1/2"H x 9"D. $2,100.00. (1750137) -
General Television 934 Piano Radio (1939)
(Wood tube novelty radio) This is an eye catcher! Novelty radio in a case resembling a Grand Piano. Completely recapped and all new resistors, it tunes stations across the AM Band.

General Television "ME" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here we have another company where there is very little information available. General Television was founded in New York City in 1932, but then apparently moved to Chicago in 1938. At that time they acquired Climax Radio And Television Corporation, which possibly explains a lot about this radio. From this point on the desirable Climax radios started appearing: The Emerald, Teardrop and the "Angry Face" and others, which brings us to this radio. The schematic I used for this radio was under Climax listed as the ME chassis, which also matched the cabinet and chassis of the "Angry Face." The only difference is the dial, which has the General Television logo on it. My conclusion is that General Television made all of the radios for Climax after 1938. The GTV model ME is an eight-tube, three-band radio. 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 and audio input cable were added. This radio performs well across the dial with a bright tuning eye tube. The dial is in perfect condition and I've never seen another one like it! Gary stripped off the old finish and turned out a gorgeous cabinet. The grille is very unique and ornate, and the "piano" lacquer finish makes this radio pop! The knobs, speaker and chassis are original. This radio is a "one-off" set. If you're looking for a radio no one else has, here you go! 20"W x 12"H x 9"D. $995.00. (1600537)

Gilfillan 63X (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) There were many west coast manufactures that were regional in distribution and seldom seen east of the Rockies. Gilfillan was a better factory, and made fine radios. This particular model is a six-tube super-het delivering both AM and shortwave. The dual lamp dial is crisp and bright for those who favor night time listening. The radio is a fine example of craftsmanship with book matched walnut veneers and it has been refinished nicely with a nice luster. The speaker cloth and fancy wood knobs appear to be factory originals. The radio has been professionally repaired and plays as good as new, with a fine level of sensitivity.

Graybar GT-8 by RCA (1933) (Wood tube tombstone radio) Graybar Electric was one of the premier electronic distributors in the 1930's. They are still in business today, specializing in commercial electronics instead of consumer products. Like so many other businesses, they want a piece of the consumer market and chose the best company of the early era, RCA. In fact this radio is exactly like an RCA model 71 with the only difference is the dial configuration. RCA held all of the early super-het patents and thus offered the finest products. The chassis is a robust eight-tube model offering AM/broadcast. Massively, the speaker is an oversized 11 inches! The cabinet is in factory original finish in exquisite condition. The speaker cloth is original and perfect along with fancy and embossed factory installed knobs. My technician has completed his professional repairs and the powerful high tube count chassis really sings. All the repairs need have returned this set to a like new condition. Note this radio does not have a mini-jack. A full sized radio with a large speaker offering tremendous levels of enjoyment! AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25!

Grunow 470 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio) After Grunow merged with US Radio and Television to form General Household Utilities Corporation in 1933, they still sold radios under the Grunow name. This smallish Grunow 470 tombstone, while only a four-tuber, surprised me by having a massive 8-inch speaker crammed into it. Consequently, the sound is the best of any four-tube radio I have ever restored. The cabinet has a bit of grain still showing on the sides, but otherwise a very nice finish. A previous servicer replaced the On/Off switch with an On/Off/Tone control, which works well, so I left it. It has the early 30s antenna volume control so you have to crank the volume for weak stations. Reception from the meticulously restored chassis is good for a four-tuber. Noteworthy is the interesting practice of mounting the rectifier on top of the power transformer, the logic of which is lost on me. I had to make a replacement for the missing tuning knob. All in all, if you want great sound at a great price, this should be what you are looking for. Requires an external antenna. 14"H x 12"W x 7"D. $199.00. (1680126)

Grunow 550 "Chromefront" (1934) (Wood tube table radio) Starting in 1928 in Chicago, Grigsby-Grunow produced the famous and high performing Majestic brand radios. They hired the brightest engineering talent available and became one of the most prolific radio and tube manufacturing companies of the time. In spite of the depression in 1929, Majestic radios were very successful and were even distributed in Europe and Africa. By 1931, Mr. Grunow started General Household Utilities Co. and produced radios under the Grunow name. The 550 is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. The chassis was completely rebuilt using modern capacitors. All of the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord and antenna lead were installed. An external audio cable is not available for this AC/DC set. Most of the finish is original (restored) except that Gary did redo the top. The original knobs and speaker are with the radio. A reproduction of the original cloth was installed. The chrome is in perfect condition, and the radio performs perfectly! This seldom seen early Grunow is ready to grace your collection... make it yours! 12"W x 8"H x 5-1/2"D. $599.00. (1600389)
-
Grunow 588 (1937) (Wood tube table radio) This "teledial" model from 1937 has a restored five-tube chassis and refinished cabinet. All wax and electrolytic capacitors were replaced, resistors and tubes checked and alignment peaked. Period correct toners and a semi gloss lacquer were used to restore the cabinet. Plays great on both AM and short wave bands but does need a long wire antenna for reception. 14"W x 9"H x 8"D. $375.00. (1550161)

Grunow 650 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) In 1933, Grunow Corporation of Chicago merged with U.S. Radio and Television to form General Household Utilities Company. From 1933 on, they continued with the brand Grunow, coming out in 1936 with "Teledial Twelve" nicknamed the "Shirley Temple" as the child star was used in advertising. The model 650 is a six-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked, replacing all out-of-tolerance components. An audio input cable, safety fuse and new power cord were installed, along with a new antenna lead wire. The radio was aligned and plays strong across the dial with good sensitivity. Gary stripped the old finish off the cabinet. He refinished the American Walnut veneers using high quality toners and lacquer, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original speaker, knobs, chassis and dial scale are present and we installed a period-correct grille cloth. This is a really nice example of a model 650 and is priced right, ready for your collection! 19-1/2"H x 14"W x 9-1/2"D. $649.00. (1600535)

Grunow 750 "World Cruiser" (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) We have mentioned the bankruptcy and split up in 1932 of Grigsby-Grunow based in Chicago. By the time the model 750 came out, they had recaptured the market with quality radios and exquisite cabinetry. The 750 was Grunow's top-of-the-line table radio in 1935. This large seven-tube, four-band (SB,SWx2,police) beauty sported twin gangs on the AM tuner for greater sensitivity and lots of volume through the original 8-inch Grunow speaker. Their cabinet work played second fiddle to no one, and the 750 is no exception. All of the capacitors were replaced. The resistors and tubes checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, power cord and external audio cable were added. Gary stripped the cabinet and refinished it using the best grain fillers, toners and finished with a "piano" lacquer finish. Notice the book matched Walnut in the front with contrasting colors. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are included. This stunning radio will grace any collection, and it can be yours in a matter of days! 20"H x 16-1/4"W x 12"D. $895.00. (1600508)

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)

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.

Howard 268-T (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Big black, multi-colored dial with lovely emerald green tuning eye...

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 375 (1938) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1923, the Howard Radio Company of Chicago IL, started producing broadcast receivers. They were known for their amateur and military short wave radios. They received a contract from the U.S. Army for communication radios during WWII. They had a license from RCA and made components for Capehart, Silvertone and others. The model 375 is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. All of the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. The tuning eye tube is bright and active. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse and and an input cable for iPhone, Bluetooth etc. Gary did a great job on the Walnut cabinet. He stripped off the old finish and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, speaker and chassis are original. We installed a new reproduction grille cloth. Howard didn't produce large numbers of their radios, so finding one like this doesn't happen very often. If you're looking for a different brand for your collection, this radio would be perfect! 19-1/2"W x 11-1/2"H x 10"D. $599.00. (1600488)

Jackson-Bell 60 "Sunburst" (1930) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) Here is a seldom seen West Coast, seven-tube TRF set that works well with a long wire antenna...the longer, the better which is usually the case on radios this old (93 years). I currently have approx. 10-ft (will include) and have been listening to it for an hour or so. It is an older restore, having been in my collection for 8-10 years. The cabinet is solid and was refinished when I first got it as were the electronics. The only anomaly I noticed is with the volume & tone controls are both a little sensitive or "touchy," but with a little toggling they both work good for good reception. This is called "Sunburst" for obvious reasons. This beauty has original Lansing speaker & also knobs & factory wooden back. Take note of the Jackson Bell Corp. guarantee still intact on the back (have never seen that before...neat). Also factory sticker on that very clean chassis. Jackson-Bell was a family owned business & rather interesting story whether you like the radios or not. It started in 1926 but ceased in 1935. It is written that Jackson-Bell was a marketing company and the maker was Gilfillan Brothers Radio Works, Los Angeles. 16"H x 14"W x 10"D.Was $429.00, now $379.00. (1640288)

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. $499.00. (1600303)

Jackson-Bell 62 "Peacock" (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This is a completely refurbished radio. The cabinet out of fine American walnut is simply stunning.

Contained within is a six-tube super-het chassis with tone control playing on the broadcast (AM) band. The radio has been professionally repaired by my technician and brought up to our dramatic levels of performance. My tech has added our mini-jack allowing you to connect the radio to any type of modern device. So listen to the radio as it was designed or as a full scale speaker system. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 15-1/4"H x 12-1/2"W x 9-1/2"D. $895.00. (0961711)

Jackson Bell 63 "Swan" (1930) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This seldom seen model dates from about 1930 and extremely rare find. What makes it so special is that it is in original condition including the finish, grille cloth and knobs. The original decal below the tuning is still intact. Although it is not perfect. There are minor flaws in the grille cloth and finish. As you can see it still displays very well. The chassis and speaker are as well preserved as the cabinet. It has been serviced and plays well. This was in my personal collection for nearly 30 years. 15-1/2"H x 11-1/2"W x 8"D. $699.00. (0260831)

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).

International Kadette "Sherwood" (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a very special table radio. Labeled as "Sherwood," this was a house branded set made by the fine maker International Radio. International Kadette was a better maker located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, long known for high quality sets and the cutting edge flair for design. The radio is a high quality seven tube super-het. The radio offers both AM and shortwave reception. The quality is obvious, including a famed Jensen speaker. The super modern swooped sided shape and the curves accentuate the very interesting oval dial. The condition is refinished and terrific. Made of fine American Walnut and mahogany, this set has had the complete restoration required for years of problem free service. Why buy a "box" radio, when you can add such a nice form to the full function? My tech has added a mini-jack to allow you to connect to any modern type of device!

Lifelong Turntable Radio (Plastic replica radio w/FM) Here's a fun item: an AM/FM transistor radio that's a perfect miniature replica of a turntable. The tone arm lift is the on/off and band selector, the turntable itself is the tuner (controlled by the switch on the front left) and most interestingly, the tone arm position is used to control the volume. Physically it's in absolutely pristine condition, having never been used and probably never taken out of its box until I photographed it. I tested it with four "AA" batteries (not included) and it works, but the controls are dusty from long storage and a new set of electrolytic caps might be called for just to be sure if you actually want to run it. It's being sold in "as-is" condition for display. A fascinating little conversation piece or fun gift for the novelty radio collector or turntable enthusiast. Roughly 6"W x 5D" x 2"H. This will be well-packed and inexpensive to ship. $19.00. (1560061)

Majestic 5A410 (1946) (Plastic tube table radio) Once in a while a friend or relative will show up at my shop with a family radio that was left after the passing of a relative. They never want to spend any money on them but just can't get themselves to throw them away. This little Majestic 5A410 is one of those. I, too have a hard time throwing them away. I took a quick look at it, pulled the chassis and restored it before noticing a small crack in the case. Too late now. I repaired the crack as best I could. It doesn't look as bad as it does in the picture. The radio is a very good performer on the internal antenna, with a clip for an external if you want more distance. The sound is pretty good from the perfect 4-inch speaker. Fully restored and aligned, with a full set of high testing tubes. I've seen these sell for as much as $250. That little crack will save you a bunch of money! The Majestic logo on the back says "Mighty Monarch Of The Air." How can you resist that? Broadcast only. 12"W x 8"H x 7"D. $109.00. (1680111)

Majestic 461 "Master Six" (1933) (Wood tube tombstone radio) Grigsby-Grunow of Chicago, IL started to manufacture Majestic radios in 1927. As the depression hit, the company faltered. In 1933, and in an attempt to bolster sales and save the company, they produced a new line of stylish, Art Deco radios, the "Smart Sets." The attempt failed and the company declared bankruptcy later that year. The 461 is a six-tube, AM (police on the upper end of the band) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. the resistors and tubes were replaced where necessary. We installed a safety fuse, new cloth-covered power cord with the original plug, audio input cable and a new antenna lead. The radio is a strong performer with good sensitivity and volume. Gary completely stripped the Walnut cabinet. The set has beautiful book-matched veneer on the front, and he ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish.

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. $195.00. (1560015)

-
Midge BR-760 (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)

Mirror-Tone 4F8 (1948) (Plastic tube table radio) Extremely Cool Midget, indeed! Here is truly "One of a Kind" due to the fact it was custom painted by Dan Sperry (customradios), the Custom Painter whose process is quite unique in that his artistic twists never disappoint nor do they ever look identical to any of his other pieces because they are all different. Here is a midget Mirror Tone he did for me a couple of years ago and the colors are dynamite as you can see. The main tones are a classic dark red/burgundy with swirled black accents. The bottom and wrap-around end are solid gloss black. It is clear coated in a premium automotive clear and buffed to a mirror like shine. The grille area is tastefully accented by silver & black swirl. Very eye catching. This tiny four-tuber has also been restored electronically and plays well picking up all my locals. I’ll let the pictures do the talking. More pics on request, but it is simply flawless IMHO. Small at 7"W x 5"H x 5"D. $375.00. (1640245)

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.

Norco 160 (1935) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) Norco (Northwestern Radio Manufacturing Company) was founded in 1921 in Portland, Oregon by Charles Austin. He initially produced early TRF radios, but is famous for creating Oregon's first broadcast radio station (7XF). Later in 1930, he created Oregon's first short wave Police Radio station. He was also selling super-het radios made by Remler and Mission Bell with the Norco name on them. The Norco 160 is five-tube, three-band (AM,SW,Police) radio. The capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors have been checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, new power cord and external audio cable were installed.

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)

Pacific 37-6322 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In all of my years this is only the second one of these radios I have located. Pacific was a Chicago based foundry and made some terrific radio primarily for export. They were strong sellers to the Asian market and offered some production to domestic sources as well. This example has a Acatone tag, meaning it was marketed by the Federated Dept Stores, now known as Macy's. The radio is quite unique as it is a six-tube super-het offering both am and shortwave. Interestingly, it is a transformer free set using a ballast tube instead. Note the oversized dial, with the classic sailing ship motif, and how dramatic the colors are in a darker interior. To my surprise the factory back is still attached! The radio sports a new and sensitive 6E5 eye tube and along with a tone control, the radio offers a dramatic ability to enjoy listening to it. My tech has done a complete restoration and he added our mini-jack for the ability to connect the radio to any modern device. This will allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone, iPods, or record player. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 14-1/2"W x 11"H x 9"D. $795.00. (0961811)

Philco 37-84 (1937)
SOLD! (Wood tube cathedral radio) This is a unique radio in that it's among the last cathedral cabinet style radios Philco produced. It's also the last four-tube regenerative radio Philco produced.

The finish on the shell is a bit weak in spots but was kept as is to retain the original finish throughout. New reproduction grille cloth. The chassis is exceptionally clean and detailed. It's been totally recapped and all out of tolerance resistors have been changed, new volume control for smooth operation. It sports a strong set of tubes and receives all of my local stations with an antenna wire attached. These regens are a bit finicky and they have an adjustment screw on the back of the chassis to prevent squealing. As such I was not able to add my usual 3.5mm aux cord. As a bonus, this set includes the original instruction booklet that was kept in the back since new! 15"H x 12-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D. $199.00. (1790278) -

The case has been completely professionally restored using the best toning and finishing lacquers. There are no cracks, chips or breaks in the walnut case. There is a perfect original back on the radio, and most of the original label on the bottom. The clock has been running for several hours and is keeping good time. The radio chassis has been checked by a pro and is playing very well with no filter hum picking up all my local AM stations clearly and distant stations at night. The dial light is working and bright, and both dial covers are in place and in good condition. It's a two-band set, but second band is the old Dick Tracy police band, and there is not anything to listen to these days. It has its original bullet knobs and grille cloth. I think it is one of the most handsome radios Philco produced. Shipping most anywhere in the USA should run between $25 and $30. About 15"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D. It will be packed safely! $189.00.

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)

This radio was one of the first Superheterodyne radios and really had innovative features for its time! The chassis restoration was done by Blake Dietze and the cabinet was refinished by Gary Marvin, both outstanding local craftsmen. The radio retains its original grille cloth. An input jack has been added so it can play modern programing through a large number of devices. 18-3/4"H x 17-1/4"W x 12"D. $949.00. (1830035) -
Philco 90 Cathedral (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Philco's model 90 is the quintessential cathedral that everyone recognizes and loves. Designed by Edward Combs, it set the course for a very popular design trend in the early 1930s. It was also an advanced superheterodyne when it was introduced. Imagine the joy that buyers had when operating a radio like this compared to the 1920s radios they were replacing -- this Philco would have been a giant step forward in sensitivity, sound quality, and simplicity. It was also reasonably priced for its time; no wonder that Philco sold a zillion of these. This is the "middle" model with a single 47 output tube and AVC. The chassis has been fully restored with new capacitors, new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes, and a careful alignment so that it performs like new. The power cord has been replaced with a modern vintage-style cord (keeping the original plug) and a fuse has been added for improved safety. The dial has some pencil markings from the 1930s showing west coast stations of the time. I've left the markings as part of the history of this radio; you can easily remove them with an eraser if desired. The cabinet has been nicely refinished. Knobs, dial, and escutcheon are original; grille cloth and speaker have been replaced. 18-3/4"H x 17-1/4"W x 12"D. $950.00. (1310164)

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..."

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.

RCA 5T (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) In 1921, David Sarnoff started RCA as General Manager, and remained until 1970. By 1926, they already controlled the commercial radio industry, buying radio stations, and then formed NBC. Eventually, NBC was broken up into the other networks, ABC and CBS. More on RCA in upcoming ads. The 5T is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a polarized power cord, antenna lead, external audio cable (Bluetooth, iPhone, iPad) and a safety fuse. RCA made great sets, and this radio plays strong and picks up plenty of stations across the dial. Gary stripped the Walnut and Maple veneered cabinet. Using high-quality products and craftsmanship, he ended up with a "piano" lacquer finish. This radio has the original knobs, chassis, copper bezel, dial scale and 8-inch speaker. A new dial cover was installed along with a period-correct reproduction grille cloth. This gorgeous example of an RCA 5T would look perfect in your collection! 16"H x 13"W x 9"D. $579.00. (1600459)

-
RCA 9TX-3 "Little Nipper" (1939) (Wood tube table radio) Even with a stranglehold on the radio industry holding all the patents for superheterodyne technology, RCA themselves manufactured pretty good radios. Slowly some companies were able to pay RCA for the right to build super-hets, and eventually the patent ran out and opened the door for many small companies to do the same. The 9TX-3 is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where necessary. The radio is a good performer across the dial. Gary stripped the old finish off, and ended up with a beautiful "piano" finish on the Walnut cabinet. The original knobs are made of "Beetle" plastic, Catalin and Bakelite. This very unique RCA radio is ready for your collection and is priced right! 9"W x 5"H x 4"D. $499.00. (1600398)

-
RCA 9TX (1939) (Catalin tube table radio) In 1939 RCA created the "Little Nipper II," a small sleek and streamlined model. The styling of this radio is not only beautiful, but extremely Deco. Its petite clean look makes it stand out in Catalin radios. It started its life as a much brighter yellow with clear, cream and brown swirling. It patinaed to a rich butterscotch with the massive marbling still distinguishable throughout. The chassis has a pilot light that shines through the original Plaskon dial. The dial has white numbers with a barely detectable repaired crack. The original factory red Plaskon volume knob matches the dial. The tight fit of the chassis created a tube burn on the radio's right side as shown in the photo. This radio's side displays its desirable brown marbling. 8-1/2"W x 5-1/4"H x 4"D. $1,200.00. (1720124)
-
RCA 12AX2 (1940) (Bakelite tube table radio) From 1940, this RCA has a restored five-tube chassis and glossy black cabinet. All wax and electrolytic capacitors were replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. The Bakelite cabinet was cracked at a lower corner and originally painted white. 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 16T4 (1940) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Although general manager David Sarnoff made RCA one of the largest companies in the world, he ran the company with an iron fist. He held the patents for new radio technology and didn't share them. Many small companies couldn't afford to pay the royalties to utilize the technologies. Despite his business techniques, the company pioneered radio and television broadcasting for the world. Their products were top-notch. The 16T4 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. With five-button electronic tuning, dual tone control for radio and phono input, and a new dual circuit loop antenna, this was one performing radio! We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A safety fuse and new power cord were installed. The radio has a factory phono input that works great with Bluetooth etc. A new addition to Joe's Radio Shop is Steve Tucker, who specializes in cabinet refinishing. Steve stripped the unique Walnut cabinet, and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, six inch speaker and chassis are with the set. A unique RCA to add to you collection and is priced right! 19"W x 10"H x 8-1/2"D. $499.00. (1600405)

RCA 16X-4 (1940)
SOLD! (Wood tube table radio) First time on Radio Attic for this model! As the original advertising for this radio said in 1940; "Continental styling and stripe mahogany veneer are blended to create a strikingly beautiful instrument." And that striking cabinet finish is all original, too, with just some minor blemishes consistent with being 84 years of age. The six-tube chassis features five pre-set push-buttons that can be set to your local stations (the 6th button on the right must be pushed in for dial tuning). It really pulls in the stations, too, with its powerful built in loop antenna! It's been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. In lieu of my usual 3.5mm aux cord, it features a built-in RCA jack for streaming your own content or for a phonograph attachment. 14"W x 10"H x 7"D. $129.00. (1790290) -
RCA 55-X (1942) (Wood tube table radio) Here is a nice performing wood set from the 1940's. The chassis has been electronically restored and it sounds great. Wonderful full tone to it. The cabinet is in excellent condition with a good original back and label. 17"W x 8"H x 7"D. $250.00. (1270280)
-
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. A nice addition to your Catalin radio collection or play at home or office. 15"W x 9"H x 7"D. $425.00. (1700078)
-

A nice complete set including the original back ready to restore or display as is. 17"W X 12-1/2"H x 9"D. $109.00. (0260817)
-
RCA 86T-2 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) At first glance, one might tend to write off this very nice RCA 86T-2 as "plain Jane" or "ordinary" but it is nothing of the sort. It is a fairly large table radio, and RCA didn't waste the space, fitting it with a very well designed six-tube chassis, installed in an attractive waterfall cabinet with contrasting veneers and the signature silver pin stripes. The huge, quite accurate sunburst dial is very brightly and evenly illuminated. It includes a nice band select dial window and a vernier dial for more accurate station location. The larger than average 6-1/2" perfect speaker produces nothing short of outstanding sound, on par with some consoles I have worked on. My usual thorough restoration, including replacing the rubber wiring, produced a very good performing chassis on broadcast and short wave. A full set of high testing tubes top off the restoration for long service life. The finish is slick and gorgeous, with a few minor chips and dings, and a veneer repair on the lower right side where I did not succeed in matching the grain. There is a small, barely noticeable crack in the escutcheon above the tuning knob. Taken all together, this is a very nice radio from one of the best and largest radio companies. If good sound is important to you, you will find it here. Requires an external antenna. 17"W x 11-1/2"H x 9-1/2"D. $379.00. (1680140)

(1550074)

Needs a long wire antenna for reception. 16"W x 11"H x 7"D. $295.00. (1550156)
-
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 (1935) (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) RCA designed and manufactured some great radios in the 1930's. Even though RCA had a stranglehold on the industry, controlling patents for TRF and Superheterodyne radios, a few companies were given permission to utilize the patents, most notably the Gilfillan Brothers in Los Angeles. A few other companies were allowed to use the patents, but they had to meet some strict standards and manufacture their radios in the Gilfillan factory. This six-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) with its new "magic brain" circuitry, which was basically tuned RF with VCA, and a gorgeous cabinet design was a great seller for RCA. This radio has a ton of volume and a tone control with wonderful fidelity through an 8-inch speaker. We went in and replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked, replacing where necessary. A safety fuse was added along with an external audio input jack and a new power cord. The jack has a switch which allows you to close the radio tuning functions, or access the audio input jack. Gary did a complete restoration on the cabinet. The Walnut is gorgeous with a "piano" lacquer finish. This big, beautiful radio can be in your collection in a matter of days! 20"H x 17"W x 11"D. $899.00. (1600527)

RCA T10-1 (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Despite the stranglehold RCA held over the radio industry having ownership of the Superheterodyne patents, the company did manufacture impressive radios. The T10-1 was the top of the line for 1936, and one of the big selling points was the use of the "revolutionary" new metal tubes. "The sign of an up-to-date radio!" Touted as being quieter...they didn't require shielding. The T10-1 is a ten-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. 11-plus watts of push-pull power through an 8-inch speaker, an strong performing set! We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new polarized power cord, safety fuse and audio input for your external device. Gary stripped the Mahogany cabinet and ended up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, chassis and speaker are original. One word describes this radio... impressive! 20"H x 17" W x 14"D. $1,195.00. (1600458)

Silvertone 57D 1705 (1933) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Collectors speculate this radio celebrated the Empire State Building (notice the grille bar design) and was a smaller companion to the Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress radio. In my opinion this radio signifies the unique style and elegance only found in Depression Era radios. The cabinet on this fairly rare radio is in stunning original condition. The gorgeous grille cloth is intact along with the impossible to find original Silvertone knobs and wooden backing. Even remnants of a 1933 National Recovery Act sticker can be seen on the back of this set! A prior owner performed an electronic restoration, including a new power cord for safety. It's a good player on AM but not a great performer since it's an early Superhet. I was unable to tune much on the Shortwave band but that's not surprising for such a small set. The diminutive dial lens is bit distorted from natural aging (see photo). Despite its small size, there's a lot of heft to this set. This radio weighs 19 pounds; 10"H x 13-1/2"W x 7-1/4"D. $200.00.

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 230H (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Stromberg-Carlson of Rochester, New York, is probably known more for their design and manufacturing of telephones, but they also made very high-quality radios. Hiring the brightest engineers right out of college, their radios were brilliantly designed and flawlessly manufactured, right down to the cabinet designs. The 230-H is a gorgeous example of that. The 230-H is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. All of the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse, power cord, audio input cable and a new antenna lead. The radio has plenty of volume through an 8-inch speaker, and good sensitivity across the dial. The tuning eye is bright and active. Gary stripped the cabinet of its old finish, and with his usual mastery ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The radio has the original knobs, speaker and chassis. A reproduction grille cloth was installed. The 230-H is a large, rare radio and I doubt you can find one restored to this high quality. 24"W x 13-1/2"H x 10"D. $1,495.00. (1600534)

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)

Vogue Radio (Bakelite tube table radio) Despite my best efforts, the model number of this streamlined beauty remains a mystery, since it has no tags, stamping, or other marks anywhere. Vogue was a brand made by Sheridan Electronics Corp. of Chicago. It's the ever-reliable AA5 chassis enclosed in a very pretty curvy case also utilized by Lafayette and perhaps a few others. The gold-stamped dial really makes this one stand out. The case is shiny and nicely marbled. It has only one flaw, a small chunk out of the back bottom that you can see in the photo of the back on the left side, which is of course undetectable unless you pick it up and look for it (the lines on the side photos are just the gap between my front steps reflected on the shiny Bakelite.) The loop antenna is probably not the original one, and the best way I found to mount it was upside-down (it does its job just fine.) The chassis has been re-capped, checked, lubed and aligned. I've never seen one of these before and might not ever again, so grab it while you can! $185.00. (1560064)

Weltron 2001 Space Helmet (1971) (Plastic other radio) Weltron cashed in on the Apollo craze with this unique and very well made model 2001 space helmet radio. AM/FM/8-track. AC, 12V lighter plug or eight "C" cells. Everything works except the external speaker jacks (Exact same plug as the 12v cable. You do the math). AM/FM reception is quite good and the sound isn't bad from the perfect 4-inch speakers. End segment missing from the antenna, but it is still too long. 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). This came from a very dear friend 40 years ago, so hurts to sell. I hope someone will give it a good home. Reflection from my shirt in the front photo. After four tries, I gave up. Tapes available for a small fee, not guaranteed. Ask if interested. About 12-1/2"W x 12-1/2"H x 10-1/2"D. $299.00. (1680130)

Wild Planet DJ AM Transmitter (Plastic other radio) This one is a bit of a departure for me, but I saw it on eBay and couldn't resist. The little guy is actually a pretty good AM transmitter! Built in DJ microphone, built in cassette player, and a 1/8" jack to plug in a CD player or mobile device.
Everything works on it and the sound was quite good on my Crosley Super 11. Turn your kids or grandkids loose with it to practice their DJ skills or just use it to broadcast to any of your AM radios from the music source of your choice. It comes from the factory set to 1610 kHz. For a $25 fee I can convert it to 1250 kHz. The bottom was missing the rubber feet, so is pretty scratched up. I put rubber feet on it. The battery door was missing. I made a clear plastic one for it. Range is about 30-50 feet depending what antenna you have on your radio. It's really a pretty cool little device, and I'd bet your kids or grandkids would have some fun with it. Or use it to broadcast to your radios from your mobile device or CD player. 9-1/2"W x 7"D x 3"H. Batteries included! $75.00. (1680133)

Willard Radio (model unknown, 1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Finding any information about the Willard Radio Company has been very difficult. An article in my 2016 SCARS Gazette about the first "Peter Pan" radio, gave me the information that I was looking for. The first Peter Pan radios were made by the Flint Radio Company in the spring of 1931 at the Gilfillan plant in Los Angeles. They were called "Pee-Wee" radios because of their size. When Flint merged with Jackson-Bell in June of 1931, the Peter Pan image (model 84) replaced the floral grill of the Flint Peter Pan. Jackson-Bell continued using TRF electronics from Flint until switching to Superheterodyne process in the early 1930's. It is suggested that the name Willard came from Willard Bell, the brother of Herb Bell, the founder and owner of Jackson Bell. Jackson Bell and Willard Radio Company stayed in business until the end of 1932. Willard radios were only sold in the Pacific Northwest. This Willard is a four-tube, AM-only TRF radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. The original plug was used on a new period-correct power cord. A safety fuse and audio input cable were added. Gary stripped off the old finish and ended up with a gorgeous refinish! The knobs, Lansing speaker and chassis are original. Here is yet another radio that no one probably has, and it's priced right for anyone's collection! 11"H x 9-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D. $399.00. (1600538)

Willard Radio (model unknown, 1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Willard radios were manufactured in the Gilfillan factory in Los Angeles. This particular radio resembles the cabinet of the Jackson Bell Peter Pan, and the chassis is identical to the Jackson Bell model 84. It has been mentioned that they were built right on the Jackson Bell assembly line. Some refer to this radio as a Pee-Wee Cathedral. This Willard is a four-tube, AM only radio. 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 and antenna lead were installed. Gary did a wonderful job refinishing the radio. Nice use of toner and shadowing really gives the radio a factory look. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. We use the word "rare" a lot, but Willard radios exemplify it. We know of two styles and neither of them have model numbers. 11"H x 9-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D. $469.00. (1600547)

Zenith 5-J-217 "Cube" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) These highly collectable Zenith radios, referred to as a "Cube," were a huge success for Zenith. This iconic, good sounding, reliable radio created a huge following and are still desirable radios to this day, and this model is very rare amongst "Cubes." Zenith made several models of the "Cube" and this is the only AC/6 volt version I have ever seen. The 5-J-217 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) AC and six volt battery radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with new Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A safety fuse, antenna lead, power cord and audio input cable were installed. Gary stripped the original finish off of the Mahogany and walnut cabinet.

This rare model is very unique, and we offer the necessary cables should you want to use it in six volt capacity.

Zenith 5-S-29 (1936)
(Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) In 1936, the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 started to set up rural areas in America with electricity. Zenith dropped prices and started producing table radios with smaller versions of their popular black dials. Zenith sales jumped significantly, and more and more people were hired. The 5-S-29 is a five-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. The smaller dial had the multi-color bands and "split-second" tuning. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked, and out-of-tolerance components were replaced. A new power cord, audio input and safety fuse were installed. This radio plays great. I still feel that Zenith made some of the world's best performing five-tube radios. Gary "Marvinized" the gorgeous Art Deco cabinet. A cool design feature was the metal bezel, which is just a smaller version of the console bezels. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are included, and a new period-correct grille cloth installed. Once again, if you are looking for this radio for your collection, it doesn't get any better than this! 18"H x 13"W x 9"D. $799.00. (1600549) -

Zenith 5-S-127 (1937)
(Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) "The Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On." 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, 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 and audio input cable have been added. Gary has refinished the cabinet with grain filler, toners and lacquer just as it was done in 1937 for an original-looking "piano" lacquer finish. The original speaker, chassis and "Z" wooden knobs are with the set. This radio is "better than new" and ready to grace your collection! 19"H x 13"W x 9"D. $795.00. (1600550) -
Zenith 5-S-218 (1937/1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Remember those little plastic hologram toys from Crackerjack boxes, where you would tilt them and get two different pictures? That is what the amazing highlights in the front and top grain on this gorgeous Zenith 5S218 look like. I removed the dark stains that masked this beautiful effect and gave it a very nice, slick finish. Original knobs and speaker cloth. My usual professional restoration on the well made and very good performing chassis. I installed a full set of high testing tubes for long service life. The original speaker was missing, so I had to replace it with a different brand. The sound is very good. A little barely noticeable water damage along the back edge of the right side. That said, the overall look and finish are fantastic, and will stand out in any collection. The 5S218 was a very popular model for Zenith, and is very popular with collectors today. If you don't have one, here is your chance to pick up one of the nicest examples of this radio you are likely to see. Requires an external antenna. 12"W x 10-1/2"H x 10"D. $599.00. (1680136)

Zenith 5-S-218 "Cube" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a modestly sized famous Zenith Radio black dial. Within, the modest size and price, lays a terrific five-tube, "All American Five" super-het chassis. These highly reliable radios offered fine service and excellent sound quality from a 6-inch speaker. These models play on both AM and Shortwave. The radio was refinished using the latest professional Sherwin Williams lacquer. This chemical crates a very high build and glossy finish. Some would call the effect a piano finish. and the work is accurate and excellent with a high luster. The photos show the expertise and the radio retains all other factory installed parts including the wood knobs with the iconic "Z" logo. My triple licensed tech has given the radio a terrific update in his professional repairs and the set is a "hot" receiver. He added a mini-jack for our connection to any modern device or Bluetooth receiver. This will allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone, iPods, or record player.

Zenith 5-S-218 "Cube" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) These highly collectable Zenith radios, referred to as a "Cube," were a huge success for Zenith. Soon other manufacturers were designing and selling their own versions of this popular radio. This iconic, good sounding, reliable radio created a huge following and are still desirable radios to this day. Zenith made several models of the "Cube" with the 5-S-218 being one of the larger models after the 6-S-222. The 5-S-218 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with new, Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A safety fuse, new power cord, antenna lead and audio input including the cable were installed. Gary did his usual masterful work on the gorgeous Walnut and Mahogany cabinet, stripping off the old finish and ending up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The radio has the original knobs, speaker and chassis, and a period-correct grille cloth was installed. This is a perfect Zenith "cube" for your collection! 12"W x 11"H x 9"D. $595.00. (1600544)

Zenith 5-S-220 "Cube" (1938) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a very nice Zenith "Cube" & one of five or six versions of "cube" models that Zenith produced in 1938 with those big beautiful black lighted dials. This particular model is the smallest version, yet it is a great performer & receives both AM & SW with the short wire antenna attached with lots of volume picking up all my local stations & beyond. For some reason the 220 is one of the most difficult to find amongst the different versions they made. This is the first one I have owned and not too many are available for some reason? It is a five-tuber & was totally restored by previous owner & nicely done (schematic will be included). The grille cloth, "Z" wood knobs, speaker, dial, etc. all are original. The small size + "racing stripe" inlay running down the center front sets it apart from the other "cube" models Zenith made. Hope you like it. Ready for your play/display. 10-3/4"H x 9-1/2"W x 8-3/4"D. $399.00. (1640296)

Zenith 5-S-228 (1938) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 5-S-228 came out in June of 1937 for the 1938 line. Some of the printed advertising showed the 228 along with a few "cube" models. The 228 was basically a mini-tombstone version of the "cube," utilizing the five-tube 5521 chassis which was used in a few cube models. Popular with collectors as it is a little harder to find this model due to lower production numbers. The 5-S-228 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input jack and antenna lead were installed. Gary stripped the cabinet and skillfully restored it to a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the radio. We installed a reproduction grille cloth. This radio performs well and has good sensitivity, picking up many stations across the dial. This is a very nice 5-S-228 and would be a great addition to anyone's collection! 13"H x 10"W x 9-1/2"D. $699.00. (1600469)
-
Zenith 5-S-228 (1938) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 5S228 is a mini tombstone that shares a chassis with some of the small cube radios in the 1938 lineup. The radio has two bands, AM and S/W. This radio is re-capped and restored by Blake Dietze and the cabinet has been refinished by Gary Marvin with a piano lacquer finish. It has an input cable RCA/Mini Jack to allow you to use a phone or MP3 player as an input device. $649.00. (1830033)

Zenith 5-S-319 (1939) (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-320 "Racetrack" (1938) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a 1938 Zenith AM/Shortwave five-tube superheterodyne 5-S-320 radio with the same chassis as the 5-S-319 but this has a larger 6-inch speaker. It picks up stations with a single wire attached to the back and the longer the longer the wire the more stations you pick up. It is a medium size table radio at 15"W x 9"H x 7-1/2"D. The speaker is like new. The cabinet is original but was restored. The knobs are original and a couple are missing some outer sides. I will send you four reproduction knobs with the radio. The chassis was restored with all new electrolyte and wax capacitor replacements. It was cleaned lubed and aligned for peak performance. If you look at the Radio Attic price guide, there close to 50 (5-S-319's) sold over the years but only three of these radios. One would think they might be rare. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. $485.00. (0040481)

Zenith 6-D-030 (1946) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio) The 6-D-030 was designed by Charles and Ray Eames. They created a low-cost process of "molding" plywood to create graceful angles and curves. They designed an award-winning chair that was on display in the Museum of Modern Art. For Zenith radio cabinets, they used existing Bakelite radios as molds, and the rest is history. This radio was designed to use available tubes after the war and uses a mix of tubes types. The 6-D-030 is a six-tube, AM only AC/DC set. The radio has been completely recapped. All of the resistors and tubes have been checked, and I replaced them where needed. The radio has been stripped and re-lacquered, new grille cloth and plastic dial cover have been added. The radio plays well across the dial with its builtin antenna.Was $389.00, now $329.00. (1830025)
-
Zenith 6-D-030 (1946) (Wood tube table radio) 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-311 (1938)
SOLD! (Bakelite tube table radio) Zenith created an Art Deco masterpiece with this cabinet design, making this radio one of the most admired and popular of 1930s Bakelite sets. This one isn't quite perfect -- two of the horizontal louvres are cracked (visible in top view), so it has been priced accordingly. The cracks are not at all obvious when the radio is displayed, so if you can tolerate the cracks, you get a bargain. Knobs and back are original; the dial cover is a nice clear replacement. The chassis works like new, having had all electrolytic and paper capacitors replaced, a cool-running diode-based ballast installed, and the power cord replaced. The radio has been carefully aligned for top performance. Lighted dial. 10-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 7"D. $185.00. (1310166) -
Zenith 6-D-311 (1939)
SOLD! (Plastic tube table radio) The 1930s marked the beginning of an era of industrial design when technology and design were combined into art forms. The year 1939 produced many beautiful classic radios, but none better than this Zenith 6D311 set, an icon of the Art Deco period. It was designed by Robert Budlong, one of Zenith's most prolific engineers, and is a classic in any radio collection. The radio has to its credit an appearance in one of MGM's Andy Hardy movies from 1940, "STRIKE UP THE BAND" with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. This beautiful set in swirled walnut Bakelite was described in ads as Franciscan brown and sold for $14.95. The case is in excellent condition, with no cracks, chips, or other cosmetic issues. It plays fine with just an extended antenna wire, and even better with a link to an external antenna. The dial light works, and it has a perfect replacement back on the set. About 10"W x 6"H x 7"D. A classic radio co-staring with Judy Garland! Who could ask for more? $269.00. (1150907) -
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-525 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) The Zenith 6D525 from 1941 is a six-tube AC/DC Superheterodyne radio with an untuned RF amplifier stage and Wavemagnet loop antenna. It only receives the AM Broadcast band. The cabinet is solid walnut, and affectionately known to some collectors as "The Toaster" due to the slots in the top and sides and its overall appearance. The case is an Ingraham creation, and this radio would be a fine addition to anyone's collection! $259.00. (1830021)
-
Zenith 6-D-525 "Toaster" (1941)
(Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) This Zenith from 1941 is more than just another table radio. Both inside and out, this radio has a lot to offer. I was rather surprised to find it has a shielded loop antenna -- something often seen on the best consoles, but almost never on table radios, which usually have unshielded loops. A shielded loop is the best built-in antenna for reduced static and noise. The six-tube circuit also has an extra RF amplifier stage for superb sensitivity. The cabinet is special, too -- it's an Ingraham design with solid walnut sides and top with deeply sculpted air ventilation slots that give this radio the nickname "Toaster." This one has its original finish and looks good. It also has its original back (which is rare) and original knobs. Electrical restoration included everything that matters: new capacitors throughout, new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes, a full RF/IF alignment, and rewiring of the switch circuit for best safety with the new polarized cord. It's a great performer. Lighted dial. 12"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. $265.00. (1310167) -
Zenith 6-D-539 (1941) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This 1941 Zenith has a restored six-tube AM/shortwave chassis and refinished cabinet. All wax and electrolytic capacitors were replaced, resistors and tubes checked and alignment peaked. The cabinet was refinished with period correct toners and a semi-gloss lacquer finish. Internal loop antenna for local stations and a lead for external. 13"W x 8"H x 8"D. $250.00. (1550176)
-
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)
-
Zenith 6-D-615 "Con-Sol Tone" (1942)
SOLD! (Bakelite tube table radio) This 1942 Zenith model 6D615 is one of the classic pre-WWII Zenith designs before the company converted to wartime production. This set was designed by Robert Budlong, one of Zenith's most prolific radio designers during this period. This Budlong design is known among collectors as the "Darth Vader Radio" for obvious reasons. It has an undamaged brown Bakelite case with four caramel colored push buttons for audio adjustment. A boomerang-styled dial and gold dial pointer give this set instant appeal. There have been no repairs to the case since it never had any cosmetic issues like cracks, chips, or hairline cracks. This six-tube chassis has been completely checked, and the set plays OK picking up all my stronger local AM stations with an internal loop antenna. The radio has twin dial lamps, and a perfect Retrotronics replacement back. As Zenith ads stated in 1942, "Zenith! The Quality Goes in Before the Name Goes On!" About 12"W x 8"H x 7"D. $219.00. (1150909) -
Zenith 6-D-2620 (1942) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a uniquely styled little wood radio made just before the WWII ban on U.S. consumer radio manufacturing. Famous Zenith black dial, international short wave reception and nicely rounded top and inward slopping sides makes this radio highly prized by collectors. 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-D-2620 "Boomerang" (1942) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Like all manufacturers, Zenith was scrambling a bit to produce products right before the war. Bakelite was not readily available, so the designers came up with wooden designs to use up an inventory of existing chassis. Zenith engineer Kurt Emde, who designed the "Robot Dial," came up with the "Dial-Speaker" design, which Zenith patented. This chassis was used in seven "Boomerang" models. The D-2620 is a six-tube, two-band (AM,SW), AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord and a safety fuse. The radio employs a "Wave Magnet" internal loop antenna and has good reception across the dial on both bands. Gary stripped the cabinet of straight-grained Walnut. He finished the radio with a beautiful lacquer "piano" finish. A new Mark Palmquist crystal-clear dial cover was installed. The radio has the original knobs, chassis and speaker. This is a perfect example of a 6-D-2620 that would grace any collection! 14"W x 9"H x 7"D. $549.00. (1600525)

Zenith 6-S-27 (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is one of the very large and desired sets from Zenith Radio. The "black dial" when off, but once turned on the dial is dramatically lit with five different colors. The sophisticated six-tube super het is one of the best ever made. Couple this with a built in tone control, makes for the finest listening. The radio has been touched up by the previous owner, yet retains almost all of the original factory finish. I noted the perfect replacement speaker cloth and the iconic embossed "Z" wooden knobs. The very large radios are hard to find. My technician has completely refurbished the electronics. Every element of professional repair is complete and the radio is simply perfect. My technician added a mini-jack for your connection to any modern device. This will allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone, iPods, or record player.

Zenith 6-S-27 (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) During the summer of 1935, Zenith came out with a new tombstone design. The most obvious change was the size; these radios were two feet tall and commanded attention with room-shaking volume. Zenith added a smaller version of their big, black multicolored dial, and the radio also had the new design features of the console radios. The 6-S-27 is a six-tube, three-band (SB+SWx2) set. 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 and audio input cable were added. This radio has excellent sensitivity across the dial and tons of volume. Gary stripped the unique cabinet that has Maple and Walnut veneers and is trimmed with Australian Laurel. The inset grille design is a smaller version of the grille on the 12-A-58 console. After painting and grain filling, Gary finished the radio with a few coats of lacquer, and hand-polished to a gorgeous luster. The set has the original wood "Z" knobs, chassis, speaker, and a reproduction grille cloth was installed. We have had a few of these over the years, but they usually are sold before we can post them on the Attic. Not this time, however! 23-1/2"H x 17"W x 14"D. $995.00. (1600539)
-
Zenith 6-S-128 (1937) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Zenith tombstone radios from from 1936 and 1937 set a very high bar on tombstone design and innovative electronic features. Standing close to two feet tall and a foot and a half wide, they are the dominant feature in any room they are displayed in. Zenith tombstones and table radios had a lot of the same features as their high-end consoles. This six-tube, three-band (SB, SW, police) radio with its original 8-inch Zenith speaker is a high performing, quality radio in its own right. We went through the chassis replacing all of the capacitors, checking and replacing resistors and tubes where needed. A safety fuse, external audio cable, antenna lead and a new polarized power cord. Gary stripped the cabinet and did a total restoration using the proper toners and lacquers. The radio has a factory "piano" finish and it's a stunning beauty! We added a period-correct Zenith reproduction grille cloth, and retained the original wooden knobs. These radios are getting scarce as people are buying them and putting them in collections. If you have been looking for a nice, restored Zenith tombstone, then look no farther! 22"H x 16-1/2"W x 12"D. $895.00. (1600450)
-
Zenith 6-S-229 (1938) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) 1938 Zenith model 6S229. Beautiful tri-color black 6-inch lighted dial which Zenith made famous and still a favorite of most collectors. This six-tuber was just restored electronically with all capacitors replaced and any other components such as tubes and resistors replaced if tested bad or weak. Plays loud and clear as it should. The original factory faux finish which was often destroyed is still there and looks great. The wooden "Z" knobs dial, etc. are all original. New polarized power cord installed. Chassis is very clean. The radio is a strong player with great selectivity and sound quality. A long antenna wire will be included to improve reception. I will need your complete mailing address to provide a shipping quote. I use UPS Ground for these larger radios as I find they do the best job and offer the cheapest rates. Radio will be expertly packed and promptly shipped. Please contact me with any questions. I prefer payment via mailed check. 17-1/2"H x 13"W x 9-1/2"D. $679.00. (1650541)

Zenith 6-S-321 "Stars & Stripes" (1939) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here's a very nice, Pre-War, highly collectible large Gold dial Zenith with Art Deco flair. It is mostly original including the original faux burl finish. The top and surround of the burl appear to have been refinished at some point, but well done. It is known as The "Stars and Stripes" for obvious reasons. Note the raised embossed stars and stripes on the original brass escutcheon, which also maintains its original patina. This patriotic design was common amongst company's products just prior to the United States' entry into WWII. All knobs, pushbuttons, speaker, dial, etc. are original. The grille cloth has been replaced with correct Zenith cloth, housed in a cool wraparound grille. The dial is lit with two pilots and looks beautiful in low light conditions. There are two factory tags still in place on bottom of cabinet plus model # stamps on both cabinet & chassis. This radio also featured flywheel tuning. Also Tone Control works well as designed. The radio has been electronically restored and works great, having been electronically restored within the last year. Nice condition and it plays strong on attached short antenna. Simply a beautiful Zenith. 18"W x 11-1/2"H x 9"D. $549.00. (1640274)
-
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 7G605 Trans-Oceanic "Bomber" (1942) (Cloth/leather tube portable radio w/SW) Trans-Oceanic radios were conceived in 1941 by Commander Eugene F. McDonald, president of Zenith. He wanted a portable radio he could use on his boat for entertainment, news, weather, marine shortwave as well as international stations. The Trans-Oceanic was a hit, and Zenith produced them from 1941 to 1981. Zenith began the Clipper Trans-Oceanic production in October 1941 with Sailboat graphics. In January of 1942 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Zenith changed the grille cloth to the Bomber graphics. By April of 1942 the US Government halted all domestic radio production, and all manufacturing was for the war effort. The 7G605 is a seven-tube, six-band (SB,SWx5) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. Gary noted the snakeskin cabinet was in good condition, and it cleaned up nicely. The handle is in good condition. The knobs are original and the two antennas are present and function well. The Trans-Oceanics were well made and are very sensitive across all bands. The "Bomber" is considered to be the "Holy Grail" of Trans-Oceanic radios, this particular "Bomber" is a gem! 17"W x 10"H x 7"D. $1,195.00. (1600529)

Zenith 7-S-28 (1936)
(Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 7-S-28 could possibly be the rarest of the 1936 model year tombstones. Zenith had several 1935-36 models that shared the same multi-colored dial and bezel. As you select A-B-C, each band has its own illumination and color. Another new feature was a two-knob, coarse/fine "split-second" tuning set-up. Many consider 1935 to 1940 to be the "glory years" of innovation and design for Zenith. The 7-S-28 is a seven-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) set and Zenith had three other "28" models including one finished in ebony. We replaced all of the capacitors We checked resistors and tubes, replacing where needed. An audio input jack, safety fuse and new power cord were installed. Gary did a wonderful in the refinishing of the cabinet. Straight grain American walnut with burl walnut accent sections. With that fantastic "piano" lacquer finish, it's like looking at a brand new "factory fresh" radio! The knobs, chassis and speaker are original, and we added a reproduction grille cloth. This sensitive, strong-playing radio won't be for sale long! One of Zenith's largest tombstones! 22-1/2"H x 16-1/2"W x 14"D. $1,995.00. (1600551) -
Zenith 7-S-323 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1939, Zenith offered a few models of very large table radios. The cabinet had the depth of a console radio, and some of 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. There are a few other models of this very large, highly collectable radio. The 7-S-323 is seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. I've always felt that the seven-tube Zeniths were some of the best receivers out there during this time period, and this one is no exception. 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.

Zenith 7-S-633 (Wood tube table radio w/SW) My first impression of this nifty Zenith 7-S-633 is that some guy in the sales department looked at the perfectly nice cabinet and said "it isn't fancy enough" so they slapped on a couple of blocks of wood and a couple of patches of photo finish, all of which look out of place to me. That said, I had my friend Tyson Photoshop some fairly good photo finish reproductions and put them on there. The seven-tube chassis is a good performer, and has console-ish features like the five Zenith tone buttons, five station presets, an internal wavemagnet antenna and a very good sounding 6-inch speaker fronted by the original grille cloth. Screws for more distant stations. My usual very thorough chassis restoration, fitted with all high testing tubes for long service life. I gave it a nice, slick semi-gloss finish. A couple of dark spots I couldn't remove from the top veneer. The huge, easy to read dial has the usual alligator cracks, but is serviceable. The back cover was missing so I had to make one. Small left knob not original. The plated steel escutcheon was rusty so I had to paint it. All that said, this is a very nice radio with attractive veneer and lots of features. I think it will look great in any home, and I hope you will too! $599.00. (1680144)
