Air King 4603 (1945)
This mid-century modern six-tuber has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. It plays loud and clear across the AM band with its built-in loop antenna, easily receiving all of my local stations. 3.5mm cord installed at no extra cost for more listening options. Cabinet was completely refinished using multiple spray toners and topped off with a light spray of clear enamel for durability and sheen. A nice basic radio with one minor issue... kudos to whomever restrung the complicated dial string on this set. It works well, but the dial pointer moves backwards! Meaning, you'll hear 1450 AM at what shows as 620 on the dial. But since most people are using Bluetooth or some other auxiliary audio device with the 3.5 mm cord, it's a minor inconvenience. 14"W x 8-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. Was $129.00, now $109.00. (1790476)

EverBest TW-56H (1947)
Here's a unique one-of-a-kind radio that has never before appeared on the Radio Attic. A basic All American Five tube radio that was sold in various hardware stores under the EverBest brand. The manufacturer is listed as "Hardware Merchandising Corp" but judging by the dial font and trademark high to low dial scale, it's apparent this was based on a Crosley model 57TL. The streamlined designed cabinet is crack free and features its original paint! A few tiny "flea bite" chips were carefully touched up and it displays very nicely. It has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. It plays loud and clear across the AM band with its built-in loop antenna, easily receiving all of my local stations. 3.5mm cord installed at no extra charge for more listening options. If you like painted radios with original paint, consider this unique Mid Century Modern gem. 11"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D. Was $129.00, now $109.00. (1790477)

Mirror-Tone RC-4C7 (1946)
Manufactured by the John C. Meck company, this cute little four-tube set is labeled as a "Custom Mirror-Tone." It has been totally recapped and plays well with its attached long wire antenna connected to an external source (or use the attached 3.5mm aux cord included at no extra cost to play your own content through the radio). This no frills radio has no dial light, but it is easily readable without. The cabinet was nicely repainted by the previous owner with just a few minor blemishes. A nice little early post-war radio that doesn't take up a lot of shelf space at 8"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. Was $89.00, now $69.00. (1790445)

RCA 4X643 (1954)
First time on Radio Attic for this five-tube mid-century modern RCA Victor Golden Throat molded in solid black plastic with an ivory molded grille and gold accented dial scale. Radio has been totally recapped, silver mica disease corrected with five new micas, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. Receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna or use the RCA jack in the back of the chassis to play your own content. Cabinet has a reinforced crack on the top corner, and a missing section of the front lip was replaced, necessitating a partial repaint of the cabinet. The original molded black shell has various minor scratches consistent with its age but it displays very nicely. 11-1/2"W x 7-1/4"H x 7"D. Was $79.00, now $69.00. (1790457)

Trav-Ler 45-36 (1950)
Compact midget Trav-ler. Basic four-tube radio with a built-in stick antenna for strong local stations or connect a long wire to the terminal on the back cover for more distant stations. The chassis has been gone through with all new capacitors and a strong set of tubes. The cabinet is molded in green plastic...it's not painted! There is a superficial crack on the top (see pictures) and someone etched their last name on the bottom of the cabinet. Other than that it displays very nicely and has a nice shine to it. Because of the circuit design my usual 3.5mm aux cord could not be installed on this chassis. Just 7"W x 5"H x 5"D. Was $99.00, now $69.00. (1790465)

Windsor 642 "Rabbit" (1941)
A unique variation of the classic Belmont "rabbit," this version is under the Windsor brand name and makes its debut as the first example on Radio Attic. It is basically a rebranded Belmont model 6D120. Six-tube AM reception with built in loop antenna on (what's left of) its original back cover. Receives all of my local stations or use the aux 3.5mm cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. Mechanical pushbutton presets move as they should. The chassis has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, new line cord, controls cleaned and lubricated. Crack free cabinet featuring its original paint and Windsor decal. Various "flea bite" chips in the original paint were carefully touched up and it displays very nicely. 12"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. $149.00. (1790483)

Crosley 66-TC "American Overseas" (1946)
This six-tube, two-band (BC+SW) Crosley certainly has one of largest, boldest dials of any table model radio in the 1940s. All electrolytic and paper caps have been replaced, tubes tested strong, controls were cleaned and lubricated. Plays loud and strong, receiving all of my local stations with a built-in loop antenna. Or use the 3.5mm cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. SW needs a long wire antenna attached for reception. Nice new clear dial cover (it was very difficult to photograph because the lens is so clear and shiny...what you see are shadows from the overhead lights & the table it's sitting on). It's been totally refinished using multiple color toners and topped with a light spray of clear enamel. Original back cover is mostly intact. This big heavy radio will be the focal point of any room. 16-1/4"W x 10"H x 8-1/2"D. $179.00. (1790481)

General Electric H-623 "Studio Model" (1939)

Cabinet has been totally refinished using multiple spray toners and a clear coat of enamel for durability. Original back cover present.

Philco 49-500 (1949)
Last year of production for this venerable cabinet design which made its debut in 1942.

It is sure to be a focal point of the room. This five-tuber has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated.

This exceptional little Philco Transitone is outstanding in appearance, with its high gloss cream and sky blue enamel color scheme.

It is sure to be a focal point of the room. This five-tuber has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated.

First time on Radio Attic for this miniature Mid Century Modern five-tube Sonora. The natural finish cabinet still has a nice marble swirl pattern and no cracks.

Stewart-Warner 61T16 (1946)
Exceptional six-tube post war Stewart-Warner that features slug tuning as opposed to the traditional "bread slicer" tuning capacitor. Slug tuned sets all have a different sound to them. Some say they are just a bit clearer. The crack free cabinet features the original cream-colored paint! A few tiny "flea bite" chips were carefully touched up and it displays very nicely. Original back cover is present. It remains a very well preserved 80-year-set.
