There are a few paint spots on it and nicks but no bad scratches or chips. It has the original knobs and back. The cord was replaced with a new polarized one for safety (which is needed on these metal sets!). It needs a long wire antenna to work but is sensitive to just about any length added. It picks up local stations and depending on the antenna, can reach out further. I went through the chassis and replaced weak tubes, filters, and caps. It has been aligned as well. It has a nice sound through its 4-inch speaker. This little set would look nice on your desk at home or office. 8-1/4"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/4"D. $100.00. (1700075)
Arvin 547A "Lefty" (1948) (Bakelite tube table radio) This is a seldom seen Deco-style radio that usually comes with brown knobs.

Its Bakelite cabinet is in perfect mint condition and has a deep chocolate swirl finish that retains its original beautiful shine. Its gold foil dial is in perfect condition and lights up beautifully in the dark. It even comes complete with the original cardboard backing. It was restored by its previous owner and plays great across the dial. Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 9"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D. $427.00. (1750034)
Arvin 950T (1955) (Bakelite tube table radio) Sharp angular Eames era cabinet is without cracks/chips!

The unpainted tan control knobs are excellent. The gold patterned foil center of the tuning dial is perfect! The station numerals & distinctive Arvin logo are crisp & complete! They sit nicely on a checkerboard cutout grille. The five tube AM only chassis plays well. Comes with the original Masonite back in great condition. 10"W x 6"H x 5"D. Very cool!! $275.00. (0250149)
Astrex SP-100-WD-1 Stereo Turntable Set (~1980) (Plastic phonograph) A nice all-in-one solid state stereo two-speed (33 and 45 rpm) turntable with a pair of matching speakers and separate right and left volume control.

This system has been checked out by a professional turntable tech and has a new needle. The smoke-gray top is intact. Overall in excellent shape with minor scuffs to the plastic here and there. One handy feature is the unused portion of the speaker cable stores neatly inside the speaker cabinets, which also include holes for hanging on a wall. Includes a 45 adapter.

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.

This radio is remarkable for 91+ years of service. The radio is a classic seven-tube super-het with automatic volume control.

Atwater Kent 84 (1932) ON SALE! (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.Was $795.00, now $695.00. (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.

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.

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.

Climax M-8 (1937) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) As many radios as I have seen over the past fifty years, here is one that is new to me. Climax Radio was a Chicago based company who made some really desired and unique radios. This is a full-sized table radio. This radio processes one of the most dramatic and sought after dials. Often called a "frowsy face." the dual circles with the tone and band switches creating a facial type of look. The dial enjoys dual pilot lamps and in a darkened room quite special. The cabinet has a nice refinish and the radio retains the unusual metal inlay adorned knobs. The radio is a fine playing five-tube super-het chassis offering both am and shortwave reception.

Clinton 127 (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a really unusually shaped and scarce model. Produced in Chicago, IL, in the "Skunk Works" plant A. There are collectors who seek only these scarcest models and this one enjoys a unique form factor. The radio is a five-tube super-het chassis and quite robust in the reception. The cabinet is in extraordinary condition with a superb high gloss finish. This is using the latest of Sherwin Williams lacquers and it is dramatic in appearance. I sense the speaker cloth is a replacement but believe everything else is factory original.

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)
Coronet C2 (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) This Bakelite AM radio has a truly unique dial placement (other C2 models had wooden cases). It is reminiscent of a console radio, only much smaller! Rather than being so huge that it needed to sit on the floor, this is a "right-sized" tabletop radio that plays well. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D. $450.00. (1300073)

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. This was the description in Crosley magazine advertising & promotion: "Gleaming white cabinet with chromium trim. Five rich color combinations to match color schemes in other rooms. Phono connection for a record player." You can imagine seeing this color in many 1950's home locations. There aren't any cosmetic issues like cracks, chips or breaks, just a couple of minuscule fleabites. Beautiful gold dial and chrome knobs. The chassis has been completely checked by my tech. 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. $179.00. (1150913)

This is a beautiful color to stand out in any collection. About 9-1/2"W x 6"H x 6-1/2"D. $298.00. (1150917)

This "picture frame" design with gold accents was one of their "Color Radios" produced for 1951. The case is in excellent condition, there were no cosmetic issues, and it has only been professionally repainted into its original color. The magazine advertising for the radio stated that it was a "Decorator Model, a patrician design in a choice of four subtle colors. Engineered for superb console tone. Like other Crosley radios, this beautiful set has a deep rich base." Someone at Crosley definitely knew how to write advertising! But honestly, it really does have a deep rich base. The chassis has been completely checked by my tech, and everything needing replacing was done. It plays very well picking up all my local AM stations. This radio was part of the VRPS November 2024 Convention Contest, where it and other 1951 Crosley color sets won 1st Place in its category and Peoples' Choice.

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. This is the second one that I have restored; this one I did in mahogany lacquer which really makes the wood inlays pop. The push buttons are fully functional, the polycarbonate dial cover is new, and all of the brass pieces have been cleaned and polished. Electronically, the radio sounds great on both the AM and Shortwave bands. Additionally, all of the electrolytic and film capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The radio has been tuned and lubricated and the power cord has been replaced with a modern polarized plug. New felt feet have been added to prevent any scratching of your fine furniture. In summary, this radio is one that you will be thrilled to have in your collection. $349.00. (1780030)
Crosley 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 124 "Playtime" (1931) (Wood tube novelty radio) BC. This is the only known variant of the Playtime clock radio that has an original windup clock!

The radio plays very nicely and has an auxiliary input installed. Grandfather clock radio sales are few and far between and this is the first Playtime offered on the Radio Attic. Fully restored and warranted. 66-1/2"H x 24"W x 10-1/2"D. $575.00. (0100179)
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 167 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) (BC+1SW) This stunning little machine age designed set has a nice patterned veneer cabinet with the correct toning and original grille cloth and knobs.

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.Was $749.00, now $499.00. (0260733)

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.

Detrola 320 (1939) ON SALE! (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.Was $329.00, now $299.00. (1640297)
Detrola 3281 with Clock (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) Most people have clock radios. Usually it's the radio on your bed stand with a clock and alarm to help you get up in the morning. In the 30's and 40's, a clock radio was simply a radio in a nice cabinet that also sported a regular, time-keeping clock...no alarm, just a nice electric clock. Here we have a Detrola version of one, the 3281 mantle clock radio. The 3281 is a six-tube (seven plus a ballast tube) AM/SW, AC/DC clock/radio. The clock is not marked, but an educated guess would be a Techron clock, (found in most early clock radios), but since The Ingraham Clock Company made the cabinet for Emerson, it could possibly be an Ingraham clock. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern values. The resistors and tubes were replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse and a new power cord. Gary stripped and refinished this gorgeous Ingraham cabinet. Gary stated: "This has looks and performance! The cabinet is built by Ingraham for Detrola and it's in the mantle clock design and the photos don't do it justice!" The chassis, speaker, clock, knobs, back, dial scale and dial cover are all original to the set. How Detrola was able to squeeze a seven-tube chassis into the cabinet is amazing! It receives local broadcasts loud and clear across the dial with good tone. The clock has been lubed and operates properly. The knob in the back lower left is the AM/SW switch. 12-1/2"W x 10-1/2"H x 7"D. $995.00. (1600567)

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. The craftsmanship was world class. The radio has been refinished extremely well, with the same high gloss hand rubbed finish it originally had. The balances of the parts are factory installed. The luster made the photos a bit difficult with the unusual form factor and angles. The radio is a six tube super-het chassis with both broadcast and shortwave ability. My tech has given the complete professional updates to the electronics and the radio plays as new.

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 BF-214 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) Emerson Radio Corporation of New York City started making phonographs in 1912, and is still producing electronic products today. Ingraham Clock Company started producing radio cabinets around 1935, and Emerson radios used many if not the the most. The cabinets used angles and curves, coupled with wonderful designs using the best veneers. The BF-214 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) AC/DC set. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced if needed. A new power cord was installed along with a safety fuse and antenna lead. The radio has good sensitivity and volume, and has a tone control. Gary stripped the walnut cabinet. He sanded the radio and used the best quality grain fillers and toners. Lacquer was skillfully applied and a gorgeous "piano" finish remained! The radio has the original knobs, speaker, chassis and back. The "Ingraham" badge is present along with a crystal clear dial cover from dial cover.com. Just a beautiful Emerson "Ingraham" radio! 13-1/2"W x 8-1/2"H x 8"D. $495.00. (1600553)
Emerson BJ-210 (1938) ON SALE! (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.Was $449.00, now $349.00. (1600490)
Emerson CH-256 "Stradivarius" (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Perhaps one of the most beautiful and identifiable Ingraham cabinets is the violin-shaped "Stradivarius" manufactured in 1939 for Emerson. There were two versions: one in Quilted Maple and the other, which we have here, in Walnut. The "Strad" is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. It's all about the cabinet folks, but this radio performs very well too. This radio was restored by the previous owner. All of the capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord and antenna lead were added. This is really nice example of this radio and it really does perform well across the dial. The beautifully figured Walnut cabinet has been finished in a satin lacquer by Gary Marvin.

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.

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. Monsanto Catalin was used in the creation of its sleek design. This radio has the more desirable version feature of the five grille bars not having rivets, with the single "plus one" with rivets. 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.

The radio plays well with a short antenna wire I attached and picks up local stations. $279.00. (1830028)
Emerson L-141 "Cube" (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) The Emerson Phonograph Company was formed in New York City in 1918. They started making radios in 1924, and produced the first phonograph/radio combination. By WWII, it held one sixth of the U.S. radio market. 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. We replaced all of the capacitors with Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, new antenna lead, audio input cable and a new power cord were installed. The Ingraham cabinet has Burl Walnut and Walnut veneers with maple and ebony inlays. Gary stripped the cabinet, and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original chassis, speaker and knobs are with the set, as are the Emerson and Ingraham badging.

Encore Clock Radio (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio and clock work/alarm works. The radio works well on a few stations but I don't think it picks up all the stations, especially on the higher and lower ends. There's a large chip bottom right of the back section but this is a very rare set. $50.00. (2430403)
ERLA 271-A (1931) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) This rather rare radio dating from the very early thirties is an impressive ERLA (Electrical Research Laboratories, Chicago) cathedral radio with a "flat top" and a Hammond clock in the center of the speaker grille. This is a special & unusual set with its "flat top" has a rather unique look for a cathedral.

Nice clean chassis & is a seven-tuber driven by a single 45 output! The electric clock also runs, but like all clocks of the era, is not self starting. It is easy to spin the clock into work, with the spinner in the back of the set. It is held in place by retaining clips and can be easily snapped into & out of cabinet. It is a quality one made by Hammond Clock, well known for a recognizable name and quality. This is a large set & the size alone, makes for the impressive appearance, but will require proper packaging & materials. I pack very well using over-sized box & all new materials. The weight is an impressive 42 pounds. The exceptional set would be a fine addition to any collection. 19"H x 14"W x 11"D.Was $529.00, now $459.00. (1640286)

FADA 27 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) A beautiful and rarely seen FADA. In fact, this is the only model 27 I have ever seen.

All electrolytic and film capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The radio has been tuned, lubricated, the power cord has been replaced with a new one with a modern polarized plug, and new felt feet were added to prevent scratching of your fine furniture.

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)

They moved radio production to Indianapolis in 1936. In 1939, the Indianapolis plant burned down, and Fairbanks-Morse ceased radio production in the USA. They did continue to produce radios and later, televisions in Canada. The 6AT4 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) set. The large, multi-colored dials were a feature of their radios. They were quality radios, and always get a lot of attention in collections. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked, replacing where necessary. We installed a new power cord, audio cable and wired in a new antenna. The new eye tube is bright and active. Gary did his usual masterful work on the rounded cabinet. He ended up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. It has the original knobs, a period-correct grille cloth, and the chassis and speaker are all original.

Firestone 7405-2/R-1651AS "Air Chief" (1936) (Wood tube table radio) Firestone didn't manufacture their own radios. Other companies made them, and then branded them Firestone to be sold in Firestone tire stores. This model was made by Stewart-Warner. Most of their radios were of high quality manufactured by some of the best companies in the USA. The 7405-2/R-1651AS is a five-tube, two-band (AM,police) radio.

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.

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.

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 107 (Bakelite tube table radio) Brown Bakelite in great condition with hardly a mark. AM radio plays quite well across the band. No pilot light on this. Electronically restored and ready to go. 12-1/2"W x 8"H x 8"D. $125.00. (0390495)
General Electric 115W (1948) (Bakelite tube table radio) A beautiful white Bakelite five-tube AM radio from 1948. Cabinet is in very good condition. Reception is strong across the dial.

General Electric 321 (1946) (Wood tube table radio) Another radio that I just "fell heir to" as my grandfather used to say, I didn't initially intend to restore this nice little GE 321 from 1946. That said, I had a week to kill before Christmas, and viola! Here it is. I think the most striking thing about this little cutie is the all metal grille with the woven stainless steel bands, which is a real eye catcher! Four pushbutton presets with oscillator and antenna trimmers, giving them better than average reception. You push the right hand button for manual tuning. Receives well on the internal antenna, with a terminal on back for more distant stations. Large, easy to read dial, and a couple of sharp looking brass capped knobs. My usual, thorough chassis rebuild, with all high testing tubes for long service life. Several have sold on the Attic, topping at $225. I know this isn't one of the "darlings" of the collector world, but it was too nice to throw away. I sure hope someone will give this little guy a good home. 14"W x 9-1/2"H x 9"D. $179.00. (1680150)
General Electric 422 (1956) ON SALE! (Plastic tube table radio) This 1956 wildly marbleized stylish polystyrene five-tube radio plays well. Many of the capacitors have been replaced.

The slide rule dial features a pilot light that moves with tuning in stations. The slide rule dial window is surrounded by a gold reverse painted pattern. General Electric with logo is molded into the case below the gold dial. The vertical grille bars encompass the majority of the front. One of the grille bars has a slight mar. The original knobs have a somewhat translucent quality to them that compliments the gold accent. The original back has its label.

General Electric 610 (1951) ON SALE! (Plastic tube portable radio) The model 610 dates from 1951. This is a rare radio and the first example to be offered on the Radio Attic. The only issue is that I'm not sure if the center on/off volume control knob is original. Otherwise it is in excellent condition still retaining a factory shine. There is light surface wear but no cracks or chips. The radio has been serviced and plays well. The dial is just beautiful when illuminated. One of the best looking mid century portables you will ever find. 11-1/2"W x 8"H x 6"D.Was $289.00, now $229.00. (0260873)

General Electric F-62 (Canada, 1938) ON SALE! (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.Was $679.00, now $595.00. (1600548)
General Electric FE-51 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a seldom seen model from 1937. The five-tube AM-shortwave chassis has had all wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced, resistors and tubes checked and alignment peaked. The cabinet was refinished with period correct toners and a semi-gloss lacquer. Nice sensitivity for a five-tube set but does need an external antenna. 13"W x 9"H x 8"D. $225.00. (1550180)
General Electric H500 (1939) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here's a sweet sounding little Deco gem from GE, with unusual "thumbwheel" tuning. The cabinet of this chocolate swirled Bakelite is nearly flawless, with no cracks or chips. The five-tube chassis has been totally restored, with new caps, resistors, AC cord and even a new "repro" back. The attached long wire antenna pulls in standard AM stations all across the dial. It will be shipped with the original plain brown knob, or a spiffy white one, your choice. $250.00. (0610080)
General Electric H-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. Radio is complete and includes the original Beetle back and original knobs. Case does have the typical stress lines that Beetle cases often developed over the decades (note last photo). A rare one that would be either a great gift or addition to any collection. Shipping is $25 anywhere in the continental USA. About 10-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. $199.00. (1650578)

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 P830C (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works pretty well but not as loud as it should. Loud enough in a quiet room though.

This radio takes a cylindrical 9 volt battery (not included). $50.00. (1430814)

General Electric P2720A Rechargeable (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) This very rare rechargeable radio is working; however, I think the rechargeable batteries don't hold a charge very long and it sounds mostly distorted. Still, I am able to pick up several stations with decent volume, maybe about 70% normal. The recharging dock is included. You can play radio right from the dock and when you remove radio it still works, but I can't guarantee it working for very long.

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.

Goliath P-156S (Plastic transistor portable radio) Radio has no cracks or chips or dents or hairlines and I can't get it to work although my attempt to get it to work wasn't great. It might work.

Goodyear 602A "Wings" (1937) (Plaskon tube table radio) Here is a very rare Art Deco radio made by Belmont for the Goodyear tire company. This is the same radio as the Belmont "Scottie." The electronics have been restored and it works good with a long wire for an antenna. The Plaskon case has a couple of stress cracks even with the volume knob.

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.

Grunow 450 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio) The Grunow model 450 was offered in 1934 and as Art Deco was already in full swing. This is at the very least one of the best all original examples you could hope to find. There is also an historical aspect to this set that makes it even more special. The shortwave capability was professionally removed. German and Japanese Americans were required to turn in their radios to have the shortwave disabled. There is plenty of discussion to be had on how this was enforced, but represents a part of WWII history. The clean chassis has been serviced and delivers strong clear AM reception. Add this great piece of radio history to your collection. 13"H x 9"W x 7"D. $595.00. (0260876)
Grunow 550 "Chromefront" (1934) ON SALE! (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.Was $599.00, now $489.00. (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 700 "Chrome Front" (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is a recent estate find & a beauty it is, maintaining original finish, grille cloth, Grunow marked speaker, all five octagon Grunow knobs, etc. and a very clean rust-free chassis. It has a very Art Deco "Skyscraper" look with that neat "step down" top cap which gives it a distinctive look. The beautiful chrome front grille is flawless (excuse the reflections please). Nice burled walnut veneer with beaded maple inlays. This seven-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio is strong and sensitive across the dial with one caveat: the dial is not calibrated in that it does not align correctly with respective station, but I will leave that to new owner if that is a concern. I am pricing accordingly way below what others have sold for on the Attic. I feel this has been restored by previous owner as it does play well with short wire antenna & does have blue tooth attachment & the Bluetooth works very well. This radio is somewhat rare and is a near perfect example to adorn your collection! 18"H x 13"W x 9-1/2"D. $459.00. (1640323)
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. So, it is definitely a page out of radio history, and unlike other TRF radios shaped like a coffin it uses only one tuning knob to operate. I also installed a small audio input jack on the back. The radio is a true example of radio history. $250.00. (1410043)
Howard 268-T (1937) ON SALE! (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 901-A (1946) (Wood tube table radio) You just don't see many Howard radios around, even though the company got their start in the 1920's.

The cabinet has been refinished using the very finest toning and finishing lacquers, producing a gorgeous luster. All the capacitors have been replaced with modern types, out of tolerance resistors replaced, tubes checked and replaced where needed, and a new fused polarized power cord installed. It plays very nicely on the AM broadcast band picking up all my local stations. I do accept mailed checks and PayPal as payment. 13"W x 7-3/4"H x 6-1/2"D. $169.00. (1390411)
Howard SG-B "Green Diamond" (1930) (Wood tube cathedral radio) What a gorgeous cabinet design! This shouldered cathedral -- with its burl trim, inlayed patterns, delicate latticework, and carved finials -- is very pleasing to the eye. The finish on this cabinet is original, and in outstanding condition for its age. This Howard model is rarely seen, so another one is not likely to appear for some time. The chassis is very clean and has been fully restored with new capacitors, good tubes, new resistors where needed, and a new vintage-style power cord. It has been meticulously aligned to perform like new with good dial calibration. The circuitry represents the closing chapter of an earlier era, with a TRF design and no AVC, but it performs well and sounds good with the provided wire antenna. Grab this one before I decide to keep it for myself! 17-1/2"H x 15"W x 11-1/2"D. $750.00. (1310172)

Imperial Boy*s Radio (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works okay but it's just got two transistors. It has no cracks or chips or hairlines, but someone left it in the vinyl plastic case (not included) and the side and back have become rough. It'll take a bit of sanding and polishing if it bothers you. The box (fair shape) and warranty are included. $65.00. (1430524)

Jackson-Bell 60 "Sunburst" (1930) (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. $429.00. (1640288)
Jackson-Bell 62 "Fleur-de-Lis" (1932) ON SALE! (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.Was $499.00, now $399.00. (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.

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.Was $699.00, now $549.00. (0260831)

Jesse French Junior (1931) with Free Bluetooth (Wood tube cathedral radio) As the Depression worsened, this exquisite high end factory struggled with the in ability of people to afford a new piano. Teaming up with another Indiana factory, called Lofton-White, Jesse French made the fine cabinetry and Lofton an early and advanced chassis. Both companies were known for excellence but due to the limited distribution, neither survived the most difficult economic times. Museum quality, this radio is in factory original condition with perfect original silk speaker cloth and is quite remarkable. This radio is a fine and desired callable and worthy of any advanced collector. The five-tube chassis plays well with a long antenna attached.

Lee deForest - King of Radio, Television, and Film (Book) By Mike Adams. Excellent biography of Lee deForest, famous not only for his vacuum tube innovations but for his invention of the technology that gave sound to motion pictures (and which the film industry ignored for years, before awarding deForest an Oscar in 1959.)

Lifelong Baby Boom Box (Plastic replica radio w/FM) Unused. $14.00. (1540045)
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)

Maco AB-175 AM/SW (Plastic transistor portable radio w/SW) Radio is new in open box NOS and does work but electrolytics might have dried out a bit as it's not working super well but does pick up a few very well.

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) ON SALE! (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.

Marshall (unknown model, 1935) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here we have another radio with very little (basically none!) information available. Manufactured in the mysterious "Plant A" in Chicago, Marshall, Silver Marshall and several other brands were made by Clinton Manufacturing Company. Consequently, Clinton radios have similar model numbers of those they made for other companies. Clinton was later sold to Sonora Radio and Television Corp. This Marshall is a five-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) AC/DC radio. A standout feature is the detailed, multi-colored dial. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents.

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)

A fun little gift or novelty set, but completely usable as a bench set, too- the sound is decent enough. Lightweight and compact, so shipping will be inexpensive. $12.00. (1560057)
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)

A radio much like this nifty Motorola 56CD was what made sure I was up in time to get it all done. A friend gave me this, and boy did it bring back memories. I restored the chassis, cleaned and lubed the clock mechanism, fitted it with all high testing tubes and gave it an alignment. The cabinet cleaned up very nicely, and everything works.

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

Norco 160 (1935) ON SALE! (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. The walnut cabinet was completely stripped, grain-filled and painted. The set was finished with a hard lacquer "piano" finish, then hand-polished. The radio has the original badging, knobs, speaker, chassis, and a reproduction grille cloth. This is only the second Norco radio offered on the Radio Attic. I know we all use the word "rare" frequently, but in this case it truly applies! 17"H x 16"W x 10"D.Was $449.00, now $399.00. (1600367)

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 6 Transistor (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works weakly. It has no cracks or chips or dents or hairlines. It does have wear but not bad and reverse paint is gorgeous. $90.00. (2430320)
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 an 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)

Packard-Bell 48 (1936) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Packard Bell was notable for its "Stationized" dials with the call letters of major stations printed on the dial to make them "easy" to find. Edge lighting on this radio's dial glass with cylindrical reflectors gives a nice effect in a dark room. The dial also prominently displays a working tuning eye tube, a fascinating feature that was popular in the late 1930s. The cabinet has an attractive walnut book veneer top with "flame" or "curtain" patterns. The front is solid hardwood (beech?) with a mahogany veneer accent to the left of the dial. The speaker grille is adorned with fancy lattice work, which merges into a fluted band on the left side. The grille cloth is original; the knobs appear to be replacements. The seven-tube chassis has been fully restored to work like new, with new capacitors, new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes (including a nice bright tuning eye), a replacement speaker, a new vintage-style power cord, and a full RF/IF alignment. Listen to AM or short wave broadcasts, or order this radio with my Better Bluetooth to enjoy your own programs and music. 16"W x 9-3/4"H x 8"D. $225.00. (1310176)

It retains the original finish and overall a very nice clean example. It has been serviced and plays well. 12"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D.Was $169.00, now $119.00. (0260806)
Packard Bell Prototype ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) I believe this is the only example of this radio in existence or extremely rare. It is the largest model to have the chassis mounted from the bottom. The chassis and antenna design is nearly the same as the model 51 dating from about 1939 shown on Russoldradios.com. The main difference is that the 51 has a ten-tube chassis and this has eight tubes. The center plywood with dramatic nearly 90 degree bends. This design was destined for failure and in pieces when I got it. The reason I believe it is a prototype is the lack of any identifying labels and the push buttons are wood! Except for the finish the set is original and in excellent condition. The chassis was very clean and is serviced and plays well. If you are looking for a just to find one radio this is for you. 19"W x 11"H x 10"D.Was $699.00, now $599.00. (0260872)

Panorama KR-6TS60 ("Panorama 60") (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) An incredible find. It should work but it's untested. It looks to use four UM-5 batteries but I've only got one right now, and the battery setup is not easy to figure out how to use bench power supply on it. Anyway, hairline top left and a little tarnishing on tuning knob do not detract much; it's a nice looker! Leather case is in good shape, too. $175.00. (2430020)

Philco 46-350 (1946) SOLD! (Cloth/leather tube portable radio) This portable set was revolutionary when it came out in the early post war months in that it utilized the then new micro-tubes that were first used in Walkie Talkies during WW2. It, along with the Philco 1201 with its slide-in record player, were heavily advertised by the Nations's #1 star in 1946, Bing Crosby, on his Philco-sponsored weekly radio program, Philco Radio Time over the new ABC network. As a result, these models were a huge success with several 100,000 units being produced. It features a leather carrying handle, leatherette covering on the sides of the wood cabinet, and a roll top tambour door that covers up the dial when not in use. All filter and power supply capacitors were changed, tubes tested strong, a new line cord and new leather carrying handle were added to complete the restoration. Cabinet was refinished, too. It plays strong across the dial, receiving all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. Since battery packs are no longer being produced, it's now strictly an AC set.

Philco 48-250 (1948) (Plastic tube table radio) This exceptional little Philco Transitone is outstanding in appearance, with its high gloss cream and coral enamel mid-century modern color scheme. It is sure to be a focal point of the room. This five-tuber has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. It plays loud and clear across the AM band with its built-in loop antenna, easily receiving all of my local stations. 3.5mm cord installed for more listening options. The dial glass is nice and clear, so clear you can see my reflection in it on one of the photos. It doesn't take up a lot of space but makes a big impression to be sure! 11-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. $159.00. (1790316)
Philco 48-250 (1948) (Plastic tube table radio) Being sold for display or restoration. Plays some AM stations with static. Great lighted dial with no paint loss.

Philco 50-520 (1949-1950) (Plastic tube table radio) Here's a nice looking little Philco table radio from the early 50s, perfect for someone who wants to get into antique radio on a budget. The styling is simple, yet attractive. The chassis is unique in my experience, employing three tube types: Octal, Loktal and seven-pin mini. I gave it a full set of high testing tubes, replaced caps and resistors as necessary. The cabinet has a few flaws, but is very nice. The camera made it a little whiter than it actually is. The color is the correct, original beige. Receives fairly well on the internal antenna. External antenna wire for distant stations. I had to make the back cover. The cabinet has been refinished. All in all, an attractive little radio and a price to match! 10-1/2"W x 6"H x 5-1/2"D. $49.00. (1680070)
Philco 50-920 (1950) (Bakelite tube table radio) Unique styling on this 1950 Philco. The six-tube chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. The Bakelite cabinet was badly faded so I refinished it with a black automotive grade paint. Internal loop antenna for local stations, but adding an external antenna to the terminal in back makes this model unusually good at distant reception. 14"W x 8"H x 8"D. $195.00. (1550149)
Philco 53-563 (1953) (Plastic tube table radio) This seldom seen model in jet black unpainted Bakelite shines bright without any cracks or chips! The sleek jet age stepped design cabinet sitting on low splayed legs is an attention getter!

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

Philco 70 (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) 1931 Philco 70, BC. This is fantastic example of the seven-tube Edward Combs design and a survivor set. The cabinet is in its original finish with original knobs and correct new grille cloth. Ive done a bit of touching up but needed very little, couple scratches on top but otherwise fantastic shape. Chassis has been completely restored as I usually do with re-stuffing of the Bakelite blocks and it works very well. This appeared to be a set that was used quite a bit up until about WW2, had its tubes replaced but nothing else and has been sitting the past 75 years or so with all of its original parts intact when I found it. Chassis is warranted, 18"H x 16"W x 11"D. $450.00. (0100166)
Philco 80 "JR" Mini Cathedral (1932-1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Money was tight in the early 30s, and a lot of poor performing four-tube radios were produced to address that issue. The "JR" was Philco's entry into this market, but they pulled a trick out of their hat by adding regeneration to the IF stage, giving it the gain of a five-tube receiver at a four-tube price. The cabinet is in very nice condition with only a few minor specs and dings. I gave it an extremely slick finish with 14 coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. There was some staining in the front veneer, but I was afraid to keep sanding. Not quite as bad as the camera makes it seem. The Photo Booth made the sides a little lighter than they actually are, and are closer in tint to the top photo. I had to paint the chassis. A full set of good tubes. All of the Philco capacitors were stuffed with new ones to maintain originality. Resistors replaced as necessary and a full alignment. The speaker is perfect and the sound is decent. The receiver sensitivity is better than most four-tube radios. Taken all together it is a pretty darn nice little radio, and not one you see every day. 14"H x 12"W x 8-1/2"D. $249.00. (1680076)
Philco 84 (1935) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Nice four-tube regenerative circuit radio. Part of the line of affordable small cathedrals made in the early to mid 30's. Complete recap by rebuilding all the Bakelite blocks. The radio was modified with a resistor change in the IF circuit to improve stage gain. New power cord, new grille cloth. A nice addition to your radio collection. 14"H x 12"W x 8"D. $220.00. (1710056)

Philco 90 (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Edward Combs designed this beautiful radio. It was a nine-tube radio and considered one of the top of the Philco lineup. This version has a single 47 tube for audio. This radio is stunning and sought after by collectors. It has AVC (automatic volume control) so as you tune it regulates the volume of the radio. You can see faintly the pencil marks from one of the owners as they located west coast stations. 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. $859.00. (1830035)
Philco 90 (Middle, 1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Considered by many to be the king of the cathedrals, the Philco 90 was a masterwork of radio engineering in 1932. Philco created one of the most beautiful cabinets ever made, with a perfect blend of elegance and simplicity. I gave it a slick, piano grade finish with 16 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. This is the "middle" version, with a single 47 output tube, and the improved chassis, implementing AVC in the design. I had the speaker reconed with a modern cone, giving it better sound than the original. I had to replace the veneer on the sides, and there is one small, pretty good veneer repair in the Zebrawood arch. The chassis was very rusty, so I cleaned it and painted it. My usual, professional restoration, replacing all resistors and capacitors, properly stuffing the original caps with modern replacements. A full set of high testing tubes and a full alignment produced a good player with quite accurate dial cal and great sound. If you don't have a 90 yet, this is what you have been waiting for. 19"H x 17"W x 12"D. Requires an external antenna. $899.00. (1680146)
Philco 90 Cathedral (1931) ON SALE! (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.Was $950.00, now $695.00. (1310164)

The eight-tube super-het chassis is a stable player and offers fine selectivity. My tech had done his professional repairs and he has returned the radio to a "like new" electronic profile. Everything that needed repair has been done along with a new power cord and plug for your safe use. Added to the electronics is a mini-jack allowing you to use any modern device as a source of input.

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)
Radio Boys Book: At Oceans Point (Book) -or- The Message that Saved the Ship. This 218-page 1922 book is the second in a series by Allen Chapman. Both young and old will relish reading the exciting adventures in early radio. 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. (1720118)
Radio Boys Book: At the Sending Station (Book) -or- Making Good in the Wireless Room. This 1922 220-page Radio Boys Book is authored by Allen Chapman. If you love radio, you'll love reading the Radio Boys Book series. Young and old will delight in the fun of reading about the beginning of radio during a more innocent time. Once started, it's hard to stop reading and put the book down. The Forward was written by magazine book editor Jack Binns who wrote, "Fifteen years ago when radio amateurs first began to send out wireless telegraph messages, the Federal authorities in Washington were at a loss to devise some means that would regulate them...Faced with the inexorable regulation, they set to work to devise apparatus which would operate successfully. Among them was E.H. Armstrong." The blue cloth book cover shows fading wear from 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. (1720115)
Radio Boys Book: First Wireless (Book) -or- Winning the Feberton Prize. This 214-page book is the first in a series by author Allen Chapman in 1922. Written in an easy writing style, you'll find yourself not wanting to put it down.

In its 216 pages the reader finds themself drawn back to an era of reading enjoyment. 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) ON SALE! (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.Was $499.00, now $399.00. (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) ON SALE! (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.Was $499.00, now $399.00. (1600405)
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)
Rca Victor 68R3 (1946) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/FM) This 1946 RCA has AM/FM using the current FM band. The radio is offered unrestored. It is receiving stations on AM but does not receive FM. The cabinet is in good condition showing some wear with just some small edge chips on the bottom edge of the left side as shown. 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.Was $109.00, now $69.00. (0260817)

The dial pointer is illuminated by fiber optics with a glowing red tip! The crack-free natural finish cabinet is very nice, too. It has an amazing dark cherry marble swirl pattern that really pops under bright lights. It has been recapped, aligned, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays loud and clear across the dial with its built-in loop antenna. Or use the 3.5mm aux cord to play your own content. 10"W x 8"H x 7-1/2"D. $129.00. (1790315)
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)
RCA 96T1 (1938) (Wood tube table radio) Fantastic style and veneer detail on this 1938 RCA. The six-tube chassis had been restored by replacing all wax paper and electrolytic capacitors, tubes and resistors were checked and alignment peaked. A fuse was added to protect the power transformer. Period correct toners and a semi-gloss lacquer were used to restore the cabinet. 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 (1933) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) RCA introduced a great line up of sets for 1933. Among them was this large striking model 128. These sets are not rare but to find in excellent original condition including the finish, grille cloth and knobs. If you enjoy radios with original integrity this one is for you. The dial has a red glow when lit. The chassis has been serviced and is a strong player receiving AM across the dial and also some short wave. A real show piece at 20"H x 16"W x 11"D.Was $849.00, now $749.00. (0260874)

Fully restored and warranted. 20"H x 17"W x 14"D. $525.00. (0100167)
RCA 128 (1935) ON SALE! (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.Was $899.00, now $799.00. (1600527)
RCA BP-10 (1940) (Metal tube portable radio) RCA's first portable radio. Cabinet is fairly good; some scratches. Missing bottom latch. Replaced bad tubes and wax capacitors.

RCA PX600 "Globetrotter" (1952) ON SALE! (Plastic tube portable radio) A great looking portable with that mid century 50's design. The cabinet has surface wear and a crack in the upper left corner of the back as shown. It has been reinforced with a clear epoxy on the inside. Overall the set still displays well. It has been serviced and plays well across the dial. The radio has not been tested using a battery. 12"W x 7"H x 5-1/2"D.Was $129.00, now $99.00. (0260852)
RCA T8-14 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio) This big RCA tombstone from 1935 makes an impressive statement and performs as good as it looks. The eight-tube chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors as well as out of tolerance resistors. Tubes were checked and alignment peaked. This model has two speed tuning, pulling out on the tuning knob engages a slower speed for fine tuning on the two short wave bands. An 8-inch speaker provides a full sound. The cabinet was refinished with period correct toners and a semi-gloss lacquer finish. Requires an external antenna for reception. This is a heavy one for shipping. 20"H x 16"W x 12"D. $575.00. (1550182)
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)
RCA T-60 (1939) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) It was 1939 and the prospect of television in the home was looming large. In fact, this six-tube RCA even had a decal right on the front of the cabinet that says "Designed for Television Attachment." Meaning the sound from the TV broadcasts would be heard through the radio amplifier, and you'd just purchase a picture tube attachment. Of course, WW2 got in the way and delayed TV's widespread introduction, so this set remains a "what if" relic of those pre-war days. The chassis on this example has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, all new mica caps, all new resistors, a new volume control, and a strong tested set of tubes. Brand new eye tube that is super bright! Plays with lots of volume and receives all of my local stations. Requires a long-wire antenna for reception (or use the built in RCA jack on the back of the chassis to stream your own audio). The cabinet had some veneer issues that were repaired, and it was totally refinished using multiple spray toners to recreate the original unique two-tone motif. 16"W x 9-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $249.00. (1790314)

Realistic Flavoradio - Yellow (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Offered here from the Tandy Corporation is this original 1972 version Flavoradio made in the Philippines. These were sold in Radio Shack stores and offered in nine colors. Some colors were more common than others but this one is in yellow. The Flavoradio run lasted 15 years and there were at least three different model changes during that span of time. This is the first and original style. This eight-transistor radio operates on a common 9 volt battery and when tested it fired right up pulling local stations. I doubt it was ever used though because the earphone is still wrapped up inside where the battery goes. $34.00. (0520692)

The slide rule dial area is reverse painted as is the unique Sharp logo on the front. The radio looks great and has no chips or cracks. Tested and works great but it seems like there must be something wrong with the original four "AA" battery holder. I couldn't get it to work using it, but if I put a 9V battery in, the radio works great! Includes the original leather case which is in decent condition, and the original telescoping antenna which is in great condition. $275.00. (1740004)

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.

Silvertone 1905 (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 1900 series Silvertones are some of my favorites. Most of them are gorgeous tombstones with different "airplane" dials. These dials were found on the top of the line Silvertone sets. The chassis in different tube combinations was used for several models from 1930 to 1938 and was manufactured by Colonial. Silvertone used dozens of furniture companies to manufacture their cabinets, and were of a high quality. The 1905 is a eight-tube, three-band (AM, SWx2) radio. This radio has push-pull audio utilizing two 6F6 output tubes. All of the capacitors were replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input and antenna lead were installed. This is one of the strongest performing tombstone radios I have owned, comparable to the 10-S-130 Zenith or a Philco 16B. It picks up several stations even before you deploy the antenna. There is a ton of volume with that push-pull radio through the original eight inch speaker! Gary completely restored the cabinet back to its original beauty, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" finish. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are present, and a reproduction grille cloth was added. The 1900 series Silvertones are gorgeous radios, and here's a perfect example to show off in your collection! 19-1/4"H x 14"W x 12"D. $849.00. (1600566)

Silvertone 2015 (Plastic tube table radio) Very stylish AM radio made from 1952-1956. This six-tube radio is recapped and plays very nicely.

It is hardly noticeable. $50.00. (1830008)
Silvertone 2016 (Plastic tube table radio) All new capacitors produce a strong rich sound with good tone controls. RCA jack added for input of your own audio sources. Stunning lit dial. $130.00. (0380352)

The six-tube chassis has been electronically restored. The radio picks up many stations, incl. SW in evening. I have attached an antenna and will leave it with the radio. This beauty is ready for you to proudly display and listen to, but it is 88 years old, and like all antique radios is not intended for everyday, all day use. It was sold under the Sears & Roebuck brand name "Silvertone" as part of the "Sears Golden Jubilee," which offered a series of radios with different sized gold dials and styles.

Silvertone 4565 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) If you like 'em with large showy dials with great detail, not many show better than the big gold Sears Silvertone radios. This one is guaranteed to draw attention. Sears used the big "Golden Jubilee" dial on several radios & in 1936, they celebrated their Silver Jubilee in radio by rolling out the Big Gold Dial across the product line. This model 4565 is a eight-tube, three-band receiver offering a tremendous sound on both BC & SW & in a nice roll-topped ends which fall down over the sides & then roll under the cabinet & rest on sort of a base giving it another unique "look." This is one of the most beautiful radios in that series & one of the most coveted radios amongst serious collectors. Produced for Sears by Stewart-Warner. All of the capacitors were replaced, the tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where necessary. The cabinet has been nicely refinished at some point and shows nearly original. Add in a fantastic cabinet design and a high performing receiver and you've got a spectacular radio, The chassis is very clean & rust free.

Silvertone 6230 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Silvertone was the product name of electronics sold by Sears-Roebuck out of Chicago, Illinois. The first radio was offered in 1920 by catalog and later in retail stores. With features like the Ingraham style cabinet (possibly built by Belmont, who manufactured the chassis), tuning eye tube and five-button station, the 6230 was a good seller for Sears. The 6230 is a six-tube, two-band (AM,SW) AC/DC set. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a safety fuse, a new power cord and a new antenna lead. The tuning eye tube us bright and active. Gary stripped the cabinet and refinished using high quality products.

Stromberg-Carlson 1110H (1947) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a stunning radio from Stromberg-Carlson. The company was for over two centuries the maker of the finest scientific and telephone equipment and moved into radio with the consumer demand. They were an engineer's based company and perfection was the goal. This radio is a great example offering both AM and Shortwave from a six-tube super-het chassis. The radio has been refinished in the latest Sherwin Williams high gloss finish with complete decals and clear dial. The cabinet is made from the finest American walnut in an "industrial age" style. Note this radio has an internal antenna, but we added a additional wire antenna, which will benefit those in more remote locations. This model offers you to preset the buttons to your favorite stations. My tech has completed his professional repairs and returned this fine radio to a factory new playing condition. The six ivory colored presets wait for your favorite stations. He has added a mini-jack to allow your connection of any modern device.

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)

Triangle 6P "Imperial" (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is a very striking radio. The company was a Chicago based factory who made many radios for various catalogue "house brands" and a limited number under their own label. This "Imperial" was their flagship model. In addition to the very well crafted cabinet, which has been decently refinished with ornate wood knobs, the radio also has the factory installed highly decorative speaker cloth. The radio has a massive 6-inch + brightly lit and multi colored dial which is a stunning nighttime view. You will seldom see a nicer dial. The radio sports a tone control and a gain control indicative of the highest quality electronics. The six-tube super-het chassis plays on both AM and Shortwave. Les has completed his highly professional repairs and the radio plays in a dramatic fashion.

Troy 4 "Deluxe" (1937) (Wood tube table radio) Troy Radio Manufacturing Company/Radio and Television Company started up in Los Angeles in 1932 and went out of business right before WWII. Most of the chassis were made by Gilfillan, and the cabinets were of a high quality. They made several models from four-tube mantle radios to eleven-tube consoles. Even though "Television" is in their business name, I don't think they ever made any, going out of business before anyone was manufacturing them. The Model 4 is a four-tube, AM only. TRF (tuned radio frequency) set. Blake replaced all of the capacitors, checked the resistors and tubes, replacing where needed. He added a new power cable and antenna lead, but this set has no audio cable due to its circuitry. For a four-tube set, it's a good performer with plenty of volume and good tone. Gary refinished the walnut cabinet using the best toners, grain fillers and lacquer. The radio retains the original chassis, speaker, dial and knobs. A new dial cover was added. This is a rare Los Angeles radio, and will look great in any collection! 11"W x 9"H x 7"D. $399.00. (1600563)
Truetone D-727 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The guys at Detrola conjured up a very nice radio for Western Auto to add to their Truetone lineup in 1937.

I gave it a gorgeous, slick, nearly perfect finish with 15 coats of lacquer and two sanding operations. Eight channels of motorized automatic tuning, and a bright new tuning eye. New dial and dial glass. It has a nice, big, professionally reconed speaker driven by push-pull outputs. Meticulously restored chassis with all high testing tubes and a full alignment. Broadcast and two short wave bands. Requires an external antenna. This is a very nice example of this popular model. People are going to notice it! 21"W x 12"H x 9"D. $895.00. (1680108)
Truetone D-727 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a fine and restored example I have seen of this highly sought model. I acquired this radio from one of the finest restorers in the country. His work never disappoints and you will be delighted too! The oversized and multicolored dial with all of the stations around the edge make it a collector's delight. The effect in a darkened room is terrific. This model spots a motorized drive with presets allowing you to zoom from station to station. I enjoy listening to this particular radio as the large cabinet houses a full range Rola speaker, which makes it sound great. The chassis also has a separate tone control to allow a tailoring of the sound tone as well. My technician has completed his professional repairs, including disassembly and rebuilding the motor drive for optimal performance. Even the chassis is squeaky clean! The green tuning eye is super sensitive and winks from station to station. This model features a full range tone control and a very large 8-inch speaker. The radio also sports a mini-jack to allow your input device and enjoy an unlimited choice of content from this spectacular radio. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25!

Tubes have been checked, out of tolerance resistors and all electrolytic capacitors have been replaced. The schematic does not define lamps for station illumination so I inserted lamps to give visibility for selection. Detailed restoration photos are available.

United Management Corporation Radio (1935) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio) If you're looking for a radio that no one else has or is unlikely to have an example of, this super rare, one-of-a-kind tombstone definitely fits the bill. The dial scale reads "United Management Corporation Milwaukee, Wisconsin." I've not been able to locate any information on this apparently long defunct business, but it appears this radio was made especially for them. No model number, no indication of manufacturer or actual brand. The chassis appears to have been made by Continental Radio Corp (later Admiral) but most models had more than one band. This set is AM only, six tubes. The three controls are volume, tuning, and tone. There's a toggle switch on the side of the cabinet to turn the set on and off, which is a throw-back to the very early 1930's sets. But it has one outstanding feature, dual 42 output tubes in push-pull. So it has lots of volume and receives all of my local stations loud and clear. The wood cabinet finish has been refinished using toners and the whole cabinet was topped with a light coat of clear enamel to maintain sheen and durability. The chassis has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, and out of tolerance resistors replaced. Comes with a strong tested set of tubes. This set requires its long wire antenna to be connected to an external source for more distant reception. Due to the volume/tone control circuitry, my usual 3.5mm aux cord could not be installed on this set. 15"H x 11"W x 9"D. $219.00. (1790309)

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)
Voices in the Air: The Fascination of Radio (Book) By Robert Bonebrake.

A personal journey sure to illuminate a different time and bring back some nostalgia. Excellent lightly used condition, spine intact and tight. 174 pages. $7.00. (9560060)

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)

Western Air Patrol "Royale" (1932) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Up for sale we have a rare Western Air Patrol "Royale." WAP radios were made at the Gilfillan factory in Los Angeles and sold on the west coast through Western Auto Supply stores. For the east coast stores, they were marketed as Truetone and came out of the Gilfillan factory in Kansas City. The relationship between the two locations was very complicated and lengthy to go over here, simply two different makes of radios sold by the same company. Gilfillan made a lot of the chassis for them, but they also used other companies as well, all of them working out of the Gilfillan factories as the Gilfillan Brothers had rights to use the RCA patents for Superheterodyne radios. Other companies could build super-hets as long as they were made in the Gilfillan factories under their supervision. The Royale is a five-tube, two-band (AM,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, audio input cable and antenna lead were installed. The radio performs well with good fidelity and volume through a six-inch speaker. The band switch and tone control are located in the back. Gary did a fantastic job stripping and refinishing this unique cabinet to a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. This is the first "Royale" to be sold on the Radio Attic. You can have this rare radio in your collection in a matter of days! 15-1/2"W x 9-1/2"H x 8"D. $495.00. (1600569)

Its contrasting gold dial and orange clown nose dial really makes it stand out, especially when the dial lamp is lit up. The chassis has been recapped, and the radio is playing great picking up all my local AM stations without any problems at all, and distant stations at night.

Wilcox-Gay A-33 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is an interesting radio! Wilcox-Gay was a factory based in Charlotte, Michigan and made some very high quality and unusually styled radios. The radio sports what became the rage in the 1937-8 period with a rotary telephone type of dial selector which allows you to preset and "dial" your favorite station. The radio is a six tube model offering both am and shortwave abilities. The cabinet is in original condition with a modest amount of wear but acceptable for an 82 year old. I believe the speaker cloth has been replaced and the knobs as well. Overall it is a desirable radio to own. My tech has completed his highly professional repairs and the set is a fine performer. His work included adding a mini-jack to allow your connection of any modern device. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 17"W x 10"H x 7"D. $695.00. (0961626)
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) SOLD! (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) SOLD! (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)

Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla (Book) By Marc J. Seifer. Tesla, more than any other innovator, is a strange case of a recent historical figure whose life and work have been obfuscated by speculation, rumor, and myth.

Includes two sections of photos and period ads. Softcover, 9 x 6, 542 pages. Excellent copy with minor edge chafing and minimal shelf wear. $12.00. (9560049)

Zenith 4-B-231 (1938) (Wood tube tombstone radio) Here is a great performing five-tube transformer set. This was a battery set that has been converted to AC use.

The cabinet has been refinished and it looks excellent. 14"H x 12-1/2"W x 9"D. $200.00. (1270305)
Zenith 4G800ZY "Zenette" (1948) ON SALE! (Plastic tube portable radio) This is a great Zenith retro portable in a beautiful black plastic Styrene case, a very hard to find Zenith set without major cosmetic damage & problems. It has an ingenious design, whereby when the case is opened, and a small switch on top pops up, and the radio starts playing immediately. Close the case and lock it shut, the top switch is depressed, and the radio turns off. The plastic wrap handle is in great condition (they are usually always coming undone). The latches all work well. The case has no major cosmetic issues like cracks, chips, or hairline cracks. The radio plays clearly when the front is opened and it turns on, picking up all my local stations and distant stations at night with plenty of volume. Sharp eyed old movie lovers can see this Zenith sitting on the dock in the 1951 Elizabeth Taylor/Montgomery Cliff classic "A Place in the Sun." Free shipping to the USA. About 8"W x 5-1/2"H x 4"D. Was $179.00, now $149.00. (1150905)
Zenith 5-R-216 "Cube" (1936) (Wood tube table radio) Nobody made better radios in the mid to late 1930's than Zenith Radio. The set before you is a nearly perfect example of the reputation earned. The radio is a solid five-tube super-het chassis playing on both AM and Shortwave bands. The 5-inch "black dial" which lights at night with a pair of lamps only furthered their fame. I apologize for the reflections on the dial. The high dome convex glass cover makes a reflection in the photo almost impossible to avoid. The radio is in an accurate refinished condition and as good as they come! The radio sounds great with a full range speaker that vents from the right side. A professional refinished cabinet is quite striking with a high gloss lacquer finish. Along with the iconic "Z" wood knobs the radio is a standout. My tech has done a perfect repair. Since these are solid players with the speaker spreading the sound from the top of the cabinet, he added a mini-jack at no additional cost. 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. The mini-jack is added to ensure your ability to input the radio with any modern type of device. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! You will be amazed at the sound quality. 14"W x 12"H x 11"D. $695.00. (0961842)
Zenith 5-R-226 "Childs Radio" (1937) (Wood tube table radio) This is a rare Zenith Child's Radio. The ad for this radio stated it was "just like Dad's." This radio has a rebuilt chassis which has been fused, and has been refinished. It is a remarkable radio to have survived all this time and one any Zenith collector would want in their collection! The radio has an RCA input. The radio plays very well across the AM band. 16"H x 9"W x 9-3/4"D. $599.00. (1830044)
Zenith 5-R-312 "Beehive" (1938) (Plastic tube table radio) This five-tube set is as nice as they come! Blake Dietze, a local radio restorer, has done the chassis, replaced all capacitors, tested all resistors and replaced any out of tolerance, tested all of the tubes, lubricated the controls and the unit has a fuse for safety. The cabinet is crack and chip free. A new replacement back has been added. The radio cleaned up and polished up nicely. A nice addition to any collectors collection! 12-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. $275.00. (1830046)
Zenith 5-R-316 (1939) (Wood tube table radio) Here's a good-looking, small table radio you don't see too often, with only a few being sold over the years on the Radio Attic. In 1939, Zenith produced a dozen radios that they advertised as, "1939 Zenith Celebrates Leadership With...Lowest Prices Ever." The country was starting to pull itself out of the recession, and with WWII looming this was just a great idea! The 5-R-316 is a five-tube, AM only radio. They also offered the 6-D-316, basically the same radio, as an AC/DC set. 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, a safety fuse, an audio input cable and a new antenna lead. Gary stripped the Walnut cabinet, and skillfully worked the wood to end up with a hard lacquer "piano" finish. Gary noted that "Zenith painted the inside of their cabinets satin dark blue. This is not. I believe this Is an Ingraham cabinet." The radio has a push button on/off switch and four buttons for preset stations. The original chassis, knobs, buttons, dial cover and speaker are with the radio. This is a collector's radio, perfect for the bed stand, kitchen, den...anywhere in the house. Even your Zenith friends might mention that they had never seen one! We have a great price on this nicely restored radio! 14"W x 8-1/2"H x 8"D. $399.00. (1600555)
Zenith 5-S-29 (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 5-S-29 is a five-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. The smaller dial had the multi-color bands and "split-second" tuning. All of the capacitors have been replaced. All other components such as resistors and tubes were checked, and were replaced where weak or failed. A new cloth power cord and new antenna were installed. The cabinet was stripped and refinished using the best products available - looks fantastic. A cool design feature was the metal bezel, which is just a smaller version of the console bezels. The original knobs, chassis and reckoned speaker were used, and a new period-correct grille cloth installed. The multi color dial lights brightly. 18"H x 13"W x 9"D. Shipping is a flat $25 anywhere in the continental USA. I accept checks or PayPal Friends and Family. Thanks for your interest! $699.00. (1650625)
Zenith 5-S-126 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This gorgeous Zenith 5S126 "cube" was a good seller for Zenith in 1937, and is popular with collectors still, topping out at $795 on the attic in 2021. The cabinet is attractively appointed and stoutly built. It has the large, easy to read, well lit, classic Zenith black dial. I gave this radio a stunning, slick finish with 16 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. The well designed chassis is a very good performer on broadcast and short wave. I replaced all the capacitors and resistors and fitted it with all high testing tubes for long service life. A full alignment produced a very accurate dial. The professionally reconed speaker sounds amazing. A proper fabric cord and reproduction safety plug round out the restoration. I had to touch up a little rust on the chassis. Beyond that, I doubt you will find a nicer example of this classic Zenith. Requires an external antenna. 13-3/4"W x 12"H x 9-1/2"D. $695.00. (1680147)
Zenith 5-S-126 "Cube" (1936) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The radio is a solid five-tube super-het chassis playing on both AM and Shortwave bands. The oversized 6-1/2-inch "black dial" which lights at night with a pair of lamps only furthered their fame. The radio has been professionally refinished with a super high gloss finish. This example is a bit different than other examples of this model I have had before. The dial escutcheon more ornate and has a high dome convex dial glass installed. You can see the beautiful book matched American walnut veneers. The radio retains the original speaker cloth in fine shape. This will allow you an unlimited source of content. Use your phone, pad or computer as a modern device source. You will be amazed at the sound quality. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 14"W x 12"H x 11"D. $795.00. (0961831)
Zenith 5-S-126 "Cube" (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a really cool five-tube cube radio. The 1936 line had several of these cube models and they are prized by collectors! The grain on this radio face and top are absolutely stunning. A new period grille cloth has been installed. All capacitors have been replaced. All out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. 14"W x 12"H x 11"D. $679.00. (1830039)
Zenith 5-S-127 (1937) SOLD! (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. $695.00. (1600550)
Zenith 5-S-127 (1937) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The smallest of the six models equipped with the 5516 chassis, the 5S127 was also one of the most popular. Roughly 50 of these have sold on the Attic, and the reason is clear. This is a real eye catcher, with very nice wood, striking black trim, the classy fluted top corners and the classic Zenith easy to read black dial. I gave this a fabulous, slick, piano finish with 16 coats of lacquer and two sanding operations. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer cabinet at any price. I gave it my usual top notch chassis restoration, with all high testing glass tubes for long service life. A few minor dings, as all of these octogenarians have. Two very small, professionally done speaker repairs on the very good sounding speaker. The dial cal is very accurate, one of the best I have seen. Receiver performance is very good for a five-tuber. The chassis is not the best, but didn't warrant painting in my opinion. This is a truly exceptional version of this popular model. If you didn't get one of the first 50, this one will be worth the wait. Requires an external antenna. 19"H x 13-1/4"W x 9"D. $699.00. (1680145)
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) SOLD! (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. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 12-1/4"W x 10-3/4"H x 10"D. $796.00. (0961820)
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. $599.00. (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 6-D-030 (1946) (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. $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-317 (1938/1939) (Wood tube table radio) Among the most unique and attractive table radios ever made you would have to count this Zenith 6D317 World's Fair Glass Rod table radio. Zenith made this for the 1938 San Francisco World's fair, and I don't think a great many of them have survived. My buddy John suggested I illuminate the glass rods in a red, white, and blue theme, so I did. I think it's really cool, but if you don't like it there is a switch on the back to turn them off. A very nice finish with 20 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. A few minor shortcomings from 90 years of service. My usual professional chassis restoration. Original knobs and buttons are a bit less than perfect, but very presentable. I had to make the back cover. This is a very unique and highly sought after radio, and not one you see every day. The lighted rods are amazing, and the performance is very good. I have a ton of work in it and I hope you will think it is worth the price. Requires an external antenna. 14"W x 8"H x 8"D. $1,099.00. (1680135)
Zenith 6-D-317 "World's Fair" Glass Rod Radio (Wood tube table radio) This is one of Zenith's most interesting sets, made specifically for the 1939 World's Fair. This set has been electronically restored, replacing the line cord, all caps, and out of tolerance resistors. This set plays great and is BC band only. This set has been taken care of and still retains its original finish, and still looks good after 80+ years. 14-1/4"W x 8-1/4"H x 8"D. $799.00. (0620215)
Zenith 6-D-411 (1940) SOLD! (Bakelite tube table radio) This pre-War Machine Age Zenith is a very hard to find classic Art Deco radio, in a one-of-a-kind Turbine design. The radio has been completely restored into its original light green metallic color. The one-piece Bakelite cabinet is molded like an upside-down bowl. The chassis is installed through the bottom of the case. There is a high-low tone switch on the front. Legend has it that Commander McDonald, the company's founder, pioneered making the chassis for this model out of Bakelite, as well as the case. There are legends that Zenith considered recalling the sets due to the fragility of the chassis and complaints from repairmen. Hence, there are not an abundance of these radios remaining. This radio has been completely checked by my tech, and it is playing and picking up all my local AM stations. The dial light is working. The case is in excellent condition without any cosmetic damage. Click here to read about the set. This is a true part of Zenith radio history. Picture included of Clark Gable with the pushbutton model 6D414. About 8"W x 6"H x 5"D. $324.00. (1150914)
Zenith 6-D-516 (Bakelite tube table radio) This little Bakelite Zenith has been restored inside and out. The cabinet has been professionally repainted back to its original ivory finish. The chassis has been polished and cleaned, and electronically restored, replacing all capacitors and out of tolerance resistors. A new dial face cover has been installed so you can see the beautiful, black dial clearly. The radio has BC only and plays loud and clear. This great prewar set will make a great addition to your collection. $179.00. (0620106)
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) SOLD! (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. $225.00. (1310167)
Zenith 6-D-612 (1942) ON SALE! (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.Was $279.00, now $229.00. (0260855)
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) ON SALE! (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.Was $549.00, now $449.00. (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. Access your old vinyl, or log on to Pandora, Apple Music, or the playlist on your computer to provide the tunes and use the Bluetooth connection to bring the warm, bright, allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone analog sound of a tube amplifier to any music or recordings you choose. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! 23"H x 16-3/4"W x 13-1/2"D. $995.00. (0961839)
Zenith 6-S-27 (1936) SOLD! (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) Here is a highly desired 1930's Zenith tombstone, model 6S-128. This absolutely stunning six-tube large Broadcast/Short Wave three-band radio will be a highlight of any collection. Strong player. The over-size 7-1/2" dial is absolutely beautiful, especially when lit in darkened room. The cabinet has been expertly refinished and looks fantastic. It retains the original wooden "Z-knobs," bezel, dial glass and dial scale, all in beautiful condition. The chassis is rust-free & very clean as you can see. This is one of the one of the most beautiful "Z's" I have ever offered. This set has received a full electronic restoration, replacing all filter and paper caps, out of spec resistors, etc. Most people are amazed how a solid black dial lights up a room so beautifully, which is one of the many features of the sets that make them so collectible. This very large tombstone is a terrific example of both the quality of these sets and as nice example that I have ever offered for sale. Big, Bold, Beautiful! 22-1/2"H x 17"W x 12"D. $595.00. (1640313)
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-330 (1939) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here's one you don't see every day. Five of this very sharp Black Dial Zenith 6S330 have sold on the Attic topping out at $899 two years ago. Often referred to by collectors as the "Stars and Stripes" model, I get the "stars" part, but where are the stripes? :) This is a very nice, three-band, six-tuber with five preset buttons, a tone control, and a very accurate dial on broadcast. I gave it a nice, slick finish with 14 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. A few specks and dings remain, but it is really very nice! The 5516 chassis is well made and a very good performer. I reconed the speaker with a modern cone and the sound is better than new. I replaced all the caps and resistors and gave it a full alignment. All high testing tubes for long service life. The chassis was rusted so I had to paint it. The knobs and buttons were missing so I had to replace them with reproductions. The dial escutcheon is original, and a little deteriorated. I've seen them stripped to brass, which I personally like, but I never know what collectors want. A previous restorer haggled a hole in the 6K7 tube shield for the metal tube. All in all, this is a very striking example of this Zenith classic and would be a standout in any collection. Requires an external antenna. 18"H x 13-1/2"W x 9-1/2"D. $799.00. (1680148)
Zenith 6-S-528 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Zenith cranked out a lot of radios with this basic chassis in them. For some reason, the smaller 6S527 is much more common. This one had a previous refinish job that was a little less than perfect, but I didn't want to strip it and lose the woodgrain pinstripes, so I doctored it up the best I could and put eight coats of lacquer over it. The result is a nice slick finish and a fairly good looking and good performing radio. The tint is a little darker at the bottom front, but not as bad as the camera made it look. The speaker has one patch by a previous servicer, but sounds very good. A full set of high testing tubes, all new caps, including stuffing the electrolytic, resistors as necessary and replaced most of the rubber wiring. After alignment, it receives Broadcast fairly well on the internal "wave magnet" antenna. There are screw terminals for shortwave and more distant stations. Remember the old Zenith slogan? "The quality goes in before the name goes on." 16"W x 8-3/4"H x 7-1/2"D. $299.00. (1680099)
Zenith 7G605 Trans-Oceanic "Bomber" (1942) ON SALE! (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.Was $1,195.00, now $995.00. (1600529)
Zenith 7-J-232 "Walton" (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 1938 Zenith Walton Radio has now been popular with collectors for over 30 years. They can take center place in any radio collection. This example has been refinished with attention to detail matching the look of the original finish. The grille cloth and knobs are original. The set went through an extensive electronic restoration as shown. It was not only restored to operate on AC but also Battery. I removed the clip on battery hardware as shown. The radio plays great receiving AM across the dial and I was also able to receive some short wave. 23"H x 17"W x 12"D. It doesn't get much better than this.Was $2,799.00, now $2,499.00. (0260875)
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. The original knobs, chassis and 8-inch speaker are with the set. Gary installed a period-correct grille cloth. There just aren't many of these big Zeniths around as they just didn't make many. Here's a fine example of the seven-tube version completely restored and "collection ready!" 24"W x 14"H x 13"D. $1,195.00. (1600536)
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)
Zenith 8-S-531 (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Somewhat rare Zenith large tabletop radio. Not many of this model were made, between 1000 and 6000. Very nice condition. All original knobs.

Zenith 10-S-130 (1937) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) This large and commanding tombstone radio was Zenith's top-of-the-line table model for 1937. The cabinet is indisputably the "squared-circle" edition of the "big black dial." This is gracefully accented with vented side pilasters and an uncomplicated upper grille area to create a refreshingly clean and simple appearance. This is a rare radio and one fine playing set. The radio has a dramatic refinished cabinet. The speaker cloth is an accurate reproduction and the iconic "Z" knobs are original to the set. The ten-tube super-het chassis plays on both AM and Shortwave. The speaker is a tremendous 8-inch full range Zenith and original. My professional tech has given his highly professional efforts in the repairs and the radio plays in an extremely fine manner. I noted the bullet tuning mechanism shows more activity than most of these sets. He also added a mini-jack to the circuit allowing your input any modern device. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! Stately at 22"H x 16-1/2"W x 13-1/2"D. $2,495.00. (0961835)

Zenith 11E (1928) (Wood tube table radio) BC. This stunning very early Zenith is basically a battery model with an external power supply added and AC tube lineup. It's quite sensitive for such an early TRF, performs well, and even has a lighted dial. The cabinet has a beautiful burled walnut veneer that has incredible depth and color. You wont find many of these, its quite heavy and the first time you lift it from the top that's the end of the cabinet, and with all the rubber wiring and potted capacitors in the power supply it takes a great deal of work and a degree of insanity to follow thru to the end for a working radio. The radio includes a fully and properly restored Ansonia 911 speaker ready to play! First offering on Radio Attic, Fully restored and working. 25"W x 10-1/2"H x 13-1/2"D. $350.00. (0100180)

Every Walton I've seen has had this issue to some degree. The finish is true to the original. The chassis is clean and complete. The speaker is a high quality modern replacement.
