Keith Park's Attic

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. $450.00. (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. $750.00. (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. $825.00. (0100178)

Crosley 168 (1933)
BC+1SW. This set sat somewhere in a paint shop and was a slate grey with overspray totally obscuring the beautiful inlayed veneer cabinet with a vivid Zebrawood arch. Chassis is a very good performer with excellent audio and a tone control, and the original knobs and grille cloth cap off the original look of the set. Auxiliary input installed, fully restored and warranted. 16"H x 13-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D. $475.00. (0100177)

Stromberg-Carlson 140H (1936)
BC+2SW. Another stunning Machine-age design from Stromberg-Carlson featuring African Mahogany and Rosewood patterned veneers with a backlit glass dial and brand-new tuning eye! Chassis is a nine-tube with an RF and two IF stages, dual speed tuning with excellent reception and selectivity and a hidden sensitivity control on the rear. Original restored knobs and grille cloth top of this exquisite radio. Auxiliary input installed, fully restored and warranted. 23"W x 14"H x 12"D. $725.00. (0100176)

Motorola 82A (1939)
BC+1SW. This is the ultimate Rube Goldberg machine, with both manual and motorized tuning and a clock timer that can be set to automatically turn on the set at multiple times and automatically tune to a specific station selected with a telephone dial wheel. The clock/timer in this is fully backlit as is the dial, and must have cost Motorola a fortune to produce! The cabinet is a beautiful Art Deco design with the original knobs, grille cloth and photofinish strips fully restored. Very few of these sets were made or survived, but if you like mechanical and electrical gizmos, this radio is the ultimate! Fully restored and warranted. 43"H x 31"W x 14"D. $675.00. (0100174)

Majestic 93 (1930)
Majestic 93 (1930) BC. This spectacular set is featured on the cover of Alan Douglas' book "Radio manufacturers of the 1920's" with its stunningly massive cabinet draped with ornate burled walnut veneers! $167 when new, the chassis is an eight-tube TRF 90B and one of the first of the AC console sets, has a distance/local antenna feature and works incredibly well for such an early design. The original knobs are still with it and the grille cloth is an exact replica of the original. The original back is also still with the set. This set has an auxiliary input installed, however this does not use the sets volume control. Fully restored and warranted. 44-1/2"H x 28"W x 17"D. $575.00. (0100170)

Stromberg-Carlson 130R (1936)
BC+2SW. This is one of the most stunning machine-age Stromberg-Carlson designs out there! The fantastic eight-tube chassis is an excellent performer that tunes to 18MHZ with a beautiful back lit painted tri-color glass dial, coarse and fine tuning and a brand-new eye tube. The cabinet is African Mahogany and Rosewood arranged in an opposing grain with trim highlights with original wooden knobs, just stunning! Fully restored and warranted. 21-1/4"W x 12-3/4"H x 11"D. $725.00. (0100169)

RCA 128 (1934)
This shouldered cathedral is one of the most popular RCA designs of all time! Stunning dial and cabinet with book matched Walnut veneer, original knobs and brand new perfect reproduction grille cloth! The chassis is fantastic performer and the introduction of RCA's magic brain design. It tunes to 18MHZ, three bands and great SW reception. The Chassis also features dual ratio vernier tuning ratios, a tone control, automatic volume control and 3.5W output. A really fantastic radio for 1934! Fully restored and warranted. 20"H x 17"W x 14"D. $750.00. (0100167)

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. $650.00. (0100166)
