Better Bluetooth
Other sellers usually offer an external Bluetooth receiver that connects with a cable to the radio. While this can work OK, these receivers run off batteries that you have to recharge with a USB cable, and the audio level is usually pretty weak. You also may have to tune to a quiet spot on the dial to avoid having a mixture of radio and Bluetooth audio.

My Better Bluetooth is different:

Completely enclosed inside the radio (no cables or external modules)

Completely self-powered (no batteries that need to be charged)

Automatic switching between radio and Bluetooth (just hit "PLAY" on your device, and the radio switches to Bluetooth!)

Audio level same as the radio's normal volume

This is Bluetooth done right! Better Bluetooth is available on any radio I sell for an extra charge of $35.

Emerson EC-347 w/Ingraham Cabinet (1941)
Ingraham was particularly effective in their use of curves and contours in radio cabinets. This Emerson table radio shows off one of Ingraham's more creative cabinet designs. The novel shape is further accented with beautiful walnut curtain veneers and inlaid patterns. As with all radios I sell, this one works like new, having gone through a meticulous electronic restoration with all new capacitors, new resistors where needed, strong tubes, and a full RF/IF alignment. Sensitivity and sound quality are excellent. A polarized power cord has been installed and the power switch wiring has been updated for improved safety. A new crystal clear dial cover has been installed, and a replacement back cover has been provided. Lighted dial. This compact beauty will be inexpensive to ship. 11-1/4"W x 8"H x 6-1/4"D. $295.00.

General Electric F-70 AM-SW (1937)
This General Electric table radio looks and sounds great. Bands of Zebrawood veneer provide an attractive decorative accent, and solid walnut louvers add depth to the speaker grille. Knobs, escutcheon, and grille cloth are original; the cabinet has been refinished nicely and a new crystal clear dial window has been installed. There is a touch of corrosion visible here and there on the metal dial. The dial on this radio is a bit of a mechanical wonder, with four different pointers for tuning, band selection, volume, and tone. The tuning mechanism has a fast/slow vernier action. The seven-tube chassis has an extra IF stage for excellent sensitivity, which is noticeable on both AM and short wave. The 8-inch speaker really sounds good, with quite respectable bass and good treble. The chassis has had a full electrical restoration, with all new capacitors, new resistors where needed, and a full IF/RF alignment. Almost all of the tubes are the original GE tubes. A new vintage-style power cord and plug have been installed, and a fuse has been added for better safety. Lighted dial. My "Better Bluetooth" option is available. 20-3/4"W x 10-1/2"H x 9"D. $225.00.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Payment by PayPal preferred; money orders and checks also accepted (checks must clear before shipping).
Actual shipping costs are paid by buyer. Contact me to determine shipping cost to your address. Shipping overseas is possible, but the customer must be willing to pay for shipping services with delivery verification and insurance. All radios are shipped double boxed, insured, with tracking information.
An audio input jack can be provided on any of the radios I sell at no extra charge if you request it, and my "Better Bluetooth" receiver can be installed for $35.
All radios and televisions are electrically restored by me. I have many years experience and have restored hundreds of vintage radios, TVs, phonographs, and stereos. If your radio or TV arrives dead or fails within the first 60 days of normal use (and no internal modifications made by the buyer), I will repair for free. Shipping costs for U.S. and Canadian customers for repairs in the first 60 days are split (you pay for shipping to me, I pay for return shipping to you). After 60 days, normal repair and shipping fees (both ways) will apply, although my charges are very reasonable. For customers outside the U.S. and Canada, the customer must pay shipping both ways for repairs, even for those within the first 60 days.
If you are unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, please contact me and I will do my very best to make things right.
