Airline 62-158 (1935) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Montgomery Ward started advertising radios in their catalog in 1921, selling radios from other companies. They started using the Airline name in 1923, selling one- to three-tube radios made by a company called TRESCO. They had "Airline" with a lightning bolt through it and Montgomery Ward "adopted" Airline as it own brand name, and changed the look of the logo. The 62-158 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio that was manufactured by Wells-Gardner. The chassis was used in this model and a console version. It has plenty of volume, with great sensitivity across the unique dial. Wards was starting to use Art Deco design in their radios, and this one in particular hits a home run with its "skyscraper" design that defined the period. We went through the electronics replacing all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse, and an audio cable. Gary stripped and refinished the radio to a "factory fresh" look with a wonderful lacquer finish. The radio retains its original chassis, speaker and knobs. This is the second 62-158 for sale at the Radio Attic. A great addition to any collection! 17"H x 16"W x 11"D.Was $599.00, now $499.00.

Airline 62-329 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) I've mentioned this before: Montgomery Wards sold millions of products without manufacturing anything! Radios were no exception.

Airline 62-367 "Teledial" (1937) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In the 1930's, radios were the cutting edge of new electronic innovation for consumers of that generation. Competition was fierce, so manufacturers were constantly improving the radios and adding features. The Teledial was a quick way to dial in your favorite stations without having to manually turn a dial and search. Most of them were set up much like a rotary dial on telephones, and made the tuning process much easier and faster. All the radio manufacturers at one time or another featured Teledials, soon replaced by electric selection and motorized dials. The 62-367 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB+SW) radio.

This is a five-tube, AM-only radio manufactured for Airline by Belmont. We went through this radio with our usual replacing of all capacitors with modern equivalents.

(0260856)
Airline 74BR-1502B (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a very small five-tube radio that is AM only. I call it a "Mini Toaster" as late 40's radios all seem to look like toasters to me! It has an ivory painted Bakelite case with no chips, cracks or hairlines. The matching ivory bullet knobs are not original but streamline the case a bit in front. It has the original metal back that also acts like an antenna, but it picks up a lot more with a long wire antenna attached.

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

This radio was destined for and office or study, with a sophisticated carved front, and top highlighted with a dental edge. The radio is an earlier type of set, what was called a "TRF" circuit analog with a low four-tube count. This radio being so early requires a decent length of antenna wire, which is installed and will receive only the strong local stations.

American Bosch 565 (1935) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Founded in 1886 in Germany, Robert Bosch built a plant in 1911 in Springfield, MA. By 1920 they had 3,000 workers manufacturing 50% of all the electrical parts for the automobile industry. During the war, Bosch magnetos were used in basically every ship and plane. Bosch products were made to a very high standard technically and aesthetically, and their radios were no exception. The 565 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SW,police) AC/DC model. I could find no information on it. Every model 565 radio and schematic I looked at was an AC set. We think that this was a factory made set, possibly looking at putting an AC/DC version in production. I would be surprised to find another one...so we think this may have been a factory one-off. A very unique radio that was probably never put into production. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, antenna lead and safety fuse were installed. This radio had very good sensitivity and volume, picking up stations all across the multi-colored dial. Gary stripped this gorgeous cabinet and refinished it to a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. A new crystal-clear dial cover was added.

Anritsu "Alpha A-100" (1946) (Wood tube table radio) Rare! This is a very hard to come by post war Japanese tube set. It was manufactured by the Anritsu Electric Co. LTD. in Tokyo Japan in 1946.

This is a four-tube TRF set and has been rebuilt per my shop specs. The radio is in very good condition. The original finish has mostly been retained. The wooden cabinet is a simple design. The veneers are intact but some slight checking is found. The chassis and speaker are in excellent condition. I have had this radio in my collection for many years, buying it directly from a collector in Japan.

Receives four local stations well and has a long wire antenna for added reception. The radio has a backlit dial and presents well. This radio works best at 100v but will also work on normal 120v.

Aria 175 (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Aria was one of a hundred brands built by Detrola, and was sold in Wieboldt Department Stores of Chicago. Detrola also supplied Western Auto (Truetone) and Sears (Silvertone), just to name two, with thousands of radios. They were the most productive company in the USA, providing radios for department stores and small retailers. The chassis used in the Aria was used in other radios (Detrola 175E) and consoles under different sellers. The 175 is a eight-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. It produces a ton of volume with push-pull audio through a rebuilt Rola eight-inch speaker. The radio features motorized tuning which functions perfectly.

All this will be carefully packed. I pack radios for you the way I want them packed for me. $695.00. (1860003)

Arvin 444 Chrome Midget (1946) (Metal tube table radio) Vintage 1946-1948 Rare Chrome Arvin Midget Model 444A tube radio, compact metal body. I have mostly Catalin radios in my collection, but this one really caught my eye when I saw it about 30 years ago here in Los Angeles. I don't know a lot about these radios, and I haven't seen a lot of the chrome versions. I've seen a few different colors of this model. It looks great on the shelf amongst the other radios and will surely look just as good at your place. I haven't tried plugging it in because the AC cord is frayed. Because we're not able to turn it on, this is being sold as is as a "non-working" vintage radio. $525.00. (1880006)

Arvin 540T (1951) (Metal tube table radio) A little metal Arvin four-tube set. It is AM only and has a light beige painted case. There are a few paint spots on it and nicks but no bad scratches or chips. It has the original knobs and back. The cord was replaced with a new polarized one for safety (which is needed on these metal sets!). It needs a long wire antenna to work but is sensitive to just about any length added. It picks up local stations and depending on the antenna, can reach out further. I went through the chassis and replaced weak tubes, filters, and caps. It has been aligned as well. It has a nice sound through its 4-inch speaker. This little set would look nice on your desk at home or office. 8-1/4"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/4"D. $100.00. (1700075)
Arvin 618 "Phantom Maid" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) AM and Shortwave reception. Six tubes. Untested and sold as-is. This is a popular radio with collectors when you can find one. The radio is untested as the power cord is not safe where it meets the chassis. The cabinet is in pretty good shape and solid. The chassis is clean and complete. The dial turns as designed. I am not sure of the status of the green eye tube as the radio has not been tested. I've priced this radio for a quick sale and to leave the buyer a lot of room to make the necessary improvements for it to work. 19-1/2"W x 15-3/4"H x 9-3/4"D. Please review all photos as they provide the best description of the radio's condition. I accept mailed checks, Venmo or Zelle. No more PayPal for me. Shipping depends on your location. I use FedEx ground as they provide the best pricing and and in my experience the safest delivery. I can deliver at no charge to the CC-AWA Charlotte show later this month or Kutztown in May. Great Price! $149.00. (1650641)
Arvin 722 (1940) (Bakelite tube table radio) This is a beautiful example of a 1940 Arvin 722 Bakelite Radio.

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. The whole system is compact and surprisingly light but sounds quite good for what it is--certainly better than the new cheap turntable sets out there that use famous names. This system has been checked out by a professional turntable tech and has a new needle. The smoke-gray top is intact. Overall in excellent shape with minor scuffs to the plastic here and there. One handy feature is the unused portion of the speaker cable stores neatly inside the speaker cabinets, which also include holes for hanging on a wall. Includes a 45 adapter. An excellent second turntable for an office, or start a young person out in the wonderful world of vinyl! Like everything I sell, this will be well-packed and shipped in a correctly-sized box.

This model is considered to be one of the prettiest radios ever crafted by this top of the line maker. The cabinet is a work of art, further highlighted by the professional refinish. The cabinet fellow applied a fine hand rubbed satin finish to this set, remarkable in the depth and clarity. If you notice a few irregularities, it is the result of reflections.

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)

It is missing the warranty tag but otherwise it is as nice as you may hope to find one. This all original example has no cracks or chips. The patina from the wood board to the brass is just beautiful. The Bakelite still retains a factory shine. It comes with five tipped O1A tubes. One has an open filament but the others test good. I have only had it on display and it is sold untested. A real show piece for any radio collection. $1,995.00. (0260871)

Automatic "Tom Thumb" Unknown (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio) Here is a great looking tiny midget set from approx. 1938. Model unknown tho it looks similar to the 950 & points to same era.

It has been refinished nicely at some point with the Tom Thumb logo intact. This radio is made by Automatic Radio Manufacturing Co. of Boston, Mass.

I believe this little Deco model of the Tom Thumb is one of the rarest. I can find no information on this particular model, not even a picture. It plays with the antenna wire attached picking up my local stations, tho I would not call it a strong player. Automatic Radio is also well known for producing after market car radios.

Bang & Olufsen Jet 509K (1952) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) B&O was founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. In 1927, they moved into a factory and developed a radio, which debuted in 1929, the "Five Lamper" and its peripheral "Type D" loudspeaker. Powered from the receiver, the Five Lamper only required connection to an electrical outlet to play. This radio was also the first unit to be encased in a walnut cabinet. In January, 1945, the Germans bombed B&O's factory, since both B&O refused to collaborate and its employees were suspected Danish Resistance members. In the 1950s, B&O, assisted by Denmark's renowned architects and designers, developed components that earned praise for aesthetic appeal. They were rewarded in 1978 when NY's Museum of Modern Art arranged a 39-piece exhibition of B&O's products, an honor only bestowed on three other companies during the 20th century. Our model has five tubes, AM, LW, + two SW Bands, but no FM. Richard repaired one 1N4007 rectifier, one AC power plug, re-wired 220VAC to 120VAC, and aligned IF and RF. The cabinet was repaired. $675.00. (1300085)
