Packard-Bell 5FP (1946)
This five-tube Packard-Bell is an entry level set akin to the Philco Transitone line. Similarly, this set also saw production that lasted from pre-war to the late 1940's. This model uses a power transformer coupled with 6-volt tubes and field coil speaker, an unusual combination for a compact radio. What sets this set apart from others of its ilk is the beautiful ivory Plaskon cabinet that literally glows in the dark from the dial light and tubes inside. A very cool effect of these Plaskon cabinet radios. This one is beautifully preserved with only a few very minor superficial blemishes. Amazing for being nearly 80 years old! The dial scale is literally a thin piece of cardboard and due to its age and flimsy nature, there is a minor repaired tear on the upper portion. It has a new crystal-clear dial cover and original Plaskon knobs unique to this set (very difficult to find). It receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. It has been recapped, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated. A nice time capsule from the early post war years. 9-1/4"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D.

Very stylish glass dial cover with brass escutcheon and the original grille cloth. Labels intact inside the cabinet. Note: this set does not feature my usual 3.5mm aux cord. 12"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D.

RCA 45X16 (1940)
First time on Radio Attic for this model, and what a totally unique radio it is! In all of my years of collecting and restoring antique radios, upwards of 700 radios restored, I've never encountered a table model radio with a built-in Lazy Susan turntable on the underside!! See the photos. This certainly appears to be done at the factory. I surmise it was part of the built-in loop antenna design to allow the user to easily turn the radio where it sits to aid reception. Whatever the reason behind it, it's a very cool, one-of-a-kind feature! The cabinet finish is all original save for some re-toning on the sides. It is still in beautiful condition. Even the faux woodgrain trim on the top radius is still perfect. The original back cover is still nice, the dial cover and grille cloth are original. The chassis has been gone through with all new capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubed, new line cord. It plays loud and strong across the dial, or use the attached 3.5mm cord to play your own audio content. 12-3/4"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D.

RCA X-551 (1951)
I sold one of these back in January but found another nice survivor with a crack-free cabinet in original natural finish featuring a subtle marble swirl and chrome plastic trim. Original back cover is intact and in nice condition. This Golden Throat RCA is a powerhouse, easily pulling in distant stations with its internal loop antenna with plenty of volume. Has a built-in RCA jack in the back of the chassis to plug in your external audio source (in lieu of my standard aux input cord). The chassis has a good, tested set of tubes, it has been recapped, all out of tolerance resistors changed, and the controls cleaned/lubricated, so it plays loud and strong. 12-1/2"W x 8-1/2"H x 6"D.

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, receiving all my local stations.

Zenith 6-D-015 (1946)
A nicely designed six-tube Zenith "consoltone" radio with a crescent dial produced right after the end of WWII, when the company restarted commercial production. One knob in the lower center of the cabinet, with the front half controlling off/on/volume, and the back half for dial tuning. It has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in Wavemagnet loop antenna. Note: this set does not feature my usual 3.5mm aux cord. The cabinet was repaired and re-painted in its original white enamel which compliments the solid brass trim spear on the front, which surrounds the "red dot" light when the set is turned on. There's a fold down handle on the top of the cabinet. New line cord and a beautiful exact reproduction back cover adds the final touch. 12-3/4"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D.

Zenith 6-D-525 (1941)
Classic six-tube Zenith affectionately known as "The Toaster" because of the grille work, and the unique slots for ventilation across the top and sides of the cabinet. The Ingraham designed cabinet was refinished using spray toners and topped with a spray of clear enamel for durability. New exact reproduction knobs. It has been recapped, out of tolerance resistors replaced, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays reasonably well, receiving my strong local stations. The original multi-tier Zenith "Wavemagnet" loop antenna was missing, so a standard loop antenna was added in its place. It's not as sensitive to distant stations using just the loop, but a wire for an external antenna was added that can boost the signal, and it also has an attached 3.5mm aux cord to allow you to play your own content. 12-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D.
