Admiral YG703
This is a very basic, but clean example from the early 1960s. Bottom label is missing, so determining the model number required some research. One tiny chip can be seen in the photos. A four-tube superheterodyne, it has reasonable sensitivity, and would be a perfect ballgame or news/talk radio for a kitchen, workshop, or garage. The four-tube design might have only marginal performance in a basement unless you are in an area with good signal strength. There is no provision for an external antenna. It has been fully serviced (new capacitors, resistors checked, tubes tested and replaced as necessary, and aligned).
$45.00. (1530010)

General Electric P-808A (1959 or 1960)
This little battery powered solid state unit was offered by GE in 1959 and 1960. This radio has surprisingly good sensitivity and sound quality for an early solid state unit. This radio is a superheterodyne design using five transistors. It has a permanent magnet speaker typical of the era. It is powered by a 9 volt battery. Originally, this radio was powered by a "266" type battery. The "266" battery is very expensive to get these days, so this radio has been converted to operate using a modern 9 volt battery. The connector has been changed to the modern style and a holder has been glued into the cabinet using industrial adhesive. All electrolytic capacitors have been replaced and the radio has been aligned. As shown in the pictures, the cabinet is in very good condition. Any questions, just ask!

Sonora RZLU-222
Here is a nice Sonora RZLU-222. This is a six-tube Superheterodyne design with an RF gain stage in the front-end for great sensitivity. The cabinet of this radio was sanded down, properly primed and painted in an Antique White enamel as close as possible to the original color. The paint is not perfect, but the radio presents very well. Electronically, the radio is 100% restored. All electrolytic and paper capacitors were replaced, all resistors were checked, and all weak or marginal tubes were replaced. The radio was then given a full alignment per the factory specifications. This radio is ready to go and sounds very nice. The glass dial lights up nicely in a dark room. An external antenna can be connected at the rear for even greater sensitivity.
