General Electric J55 (1942)
I offer a quantity discount on my radios (ex: Take any two radios priced at $129 each for $240, shipping is not included). A Bluetooth/MP3 player 3.5mm cord has been installed for another listening option beyond the standard AM broadcasts. You can plug into your device and enjoy the music of your choice through the radio. This is radio is a bit of a mystery. The cabinet is branded as a GE (the original decal and label on the bottom of the cabinet are still mostly intact), yet there is no mention of it in GE's model line-up for 1941 or 42. However it is identical to an Admiral model 52-955! When civilian radios ceased production in early 1942, manufacturers used up what they had available to finish as many new sets as possible. This is a relic from the frantic early days of WW2! It has been recapped, aligned, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays loud and strong across the dial with its built-in loop antenna. Cabinet was partially repainted at some point but is an excellent match, nearly undetectable. Really a nice looking, possibly one-of-a-kind radio! 13"W x 8-1/2"H x 8"D. Was $129.00, now $100.00.

Silvertone 1660 (1933)
I offer a quantity discount on my radios, so check out my other listings and drop me a line if you're interested in more than one. This early Sears Roebuck catalog radio is a nice compact five-tube cathedral; it's been recapped and plays well, receiving all of my local stations. Cabinet has been refinished using spray toners and topped off with a light coat of clear enamel for durability. Featuring wood knobs, a beautiful dial escutcheon with patina still present, and new reproduction pattern grille cloth. It's an early TRF set so you need the long wire connected to an external antenna to receive stations. The antenna is connected directly to the volume control, so the louder you turn the volume, the stronger the stations come in. It takes both hands to tune as these early TRF's have no automatic volume control. Strong stations will blast! 14-1/2"H x 12"W x 8-3/4"D. Was $229.00, now $199.00. (1790129)
