Keith Park's Attic

Sparton 931 (1929)
BC. This beautiful set has been in my collection for over 35 years! This is a very late version of the Equasonne design that has the rare extra amplifier chassis under the main board. Originally a 25Hz Canadian set it now has a 60Hz transformer on it. The Chassis is super clean with a set of the proper tubes and great performance! The cabinet has stunning burled walnut veneer with the original knobs, rear cover and grille cloth intact. Never before offered on Radio Attic, fully warranted. 40"H x 25"W x 14"D. $650.00.

Zenith 8-S-563 (1941)
BC + 2SW. This is one of the last of the big black dial Zenith consoles, and as such has most advanced design and performance with an RF stage and pre-amp resulting in excellent performance on both the broadcast and SW bands. Zenith "radiorgan" tone control allows for many combinations of tone as well. Six pre-sets can be adjusted for local AM stations. The Cabinet is fully restored with the original photofinish strips retained to give a look exactly as it had when new. Exact reproduction grille cloth lies under the fluted grille which receives sound from the original 10-inch Zenith speaker. This set also features the Zenith wavemagnet rotating internal antenna which will receive all the local stations and even most of the distant ones without the need for an external antenna. Fully restored with a warranty, auxiliary input installed, 40-1/2"H x 27-1/2"W x 14"D. $650.00. (0100196)

Saved from a fate as a parts set, it was almost entirely intact and got special care in restoration so it can live many more years in like new condition. Auxiliary input installed.

RCA 18T (1940)
BC+2SW. This delightful table set is a pretty good size, it had an auction tag on it from 1976 so this year I decided it had languished long enough for the full restoration it got. Beautiful backlit glass dial on the walnut cabinet with a poplar inlay stripe along the bottom. Excellent reception with an internal antenna for convenience. Auxiliary input installed. Fully restored and warranted. 18"W x 12"H x 10-1/2"D. $225.00. (0100193)

Majestic 70B (1929)
BC. I purchased this set in the late 1980s and restored it in 1992. It's a fantastic example of a fine receiver that features an extraordinary highboy cabinet with many exotic veneers and inlays. In the past 25 years I haven't seen another! The chassis is an excellent performing TRF design with push-pull 71A output and separate power pack. I have taken and gone thru the chassis again this year, aligning it and updating it to current restoration specs. It's time for this magnificent piece to go onto its next caretaker. 53"H x 27-1/2"W x 18"D. $475.00. (0100191)

Midwest SS-18 (1938)
(BC+ 5SW). This is one of the infamous Midwest white dialers, originally selling for $85 and never before offered on the Radio Attic. Massive 18-tube chassis with touch button motorized tuning, AFC which turns the dial pointer red when tuned into a station, 12-inch woofer and 6-inch tweeter driven by a quad 6V6 output. Produces incredibly powerful and clear sound! There is also a tone and AFC switch and when Short wave bands are selected the dial turns a stunning deep red in color backlighting the SW portion of the dial. Nine pre-sets can be set and used with the pushbuttons on the top of the set for automatic motorized tuning. This set is a true High-performance Gem! The cabinet features fantastic veneers with a correct restoration, original knobs and replacement grille cloth.

Zenith 11E (1928)
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)

Crosley 124 "Playtime" (1931)
BC. This is the only known variant of the Playtime clock radio that has an original windup clock! One winding gives up to twelve days of operation of a gorgeous clock in a beautiful cabinet retaining all the correct toning and highlights with the restoration, original grille cloth and perfect original clock face surrounded by stunning burled walnut. 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)

Sonora 70S (1931)
BC. This set is one rare bird of which I cannot find any others of, the chassis is same as the 71 but I cant find any info on that either. The extremely well built cabinet is stunning with a plethora of exotic veneers with all the trim and base toned as original. The big ten-tube chassis is a very strong performer with AVC and a working tuning meter mounted above the dial. Original grille cloth and knobs, fully restored and warranted. 43"H x 24"W x 15"D. $600.00. (0100178)

Philco 70 (1931)
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)
