Arvin 441-T "Hopalong Cassidy" and Watch

Arvin 441-T "Hopalong Cassidy" and Watch

This Hoppy is in great condition, that's the original paint (compounded it just a bit to remove some scratches). The knobs, fascia, back etc. are all original and perfect. The Lariatenna appears to be the original and is kind of stiff. The chassis' been gone over, it tunes with sensitivity and plays fine across the AM band. The watch looks like it hasn't been removed from its little "wooden horse" stand or saddle. I have no idea if the watch works or not so it is being sold "as is." The box has had scotch tape on the outside and some on the inside just to get it to you intact). All this will be carefully packed. I pack radios for you the way I want them packed for me. $595.00.

Arvin 722 (1940)

Arvin 722 (1940)

This is a beautiful example of a 1940 Arvin 722 Bakelite Radio. This is a bottom loader so the Bakelite cabinet is perfect all around the front sides and rear, except for a small chip on the bottom rear corner. Restored and working, the radio plays loud across the AM band. Recently serviced January 2025. $229.00. (1860004)

 

Emerson 106 (1935)

Emerson 106 (1935)

Emerson 106 from 1935 in a beautiful Ingraham cabinet restored inside and out. Emerson contracted the Ingraham Cabinet company in Connecticut to make their beautiful radio cabinets. This is an example of their fine work. Plays well across the AM dial. 12-1/2"W x 9"H x 5-1/2"D. Securely packed for shipping to the lower 48 will be additional subject to actual shipping costs. $375.00. (1860001)

 

Mantola R-453 (1940)

Mantola R-453 (1940)

This gorgeous radio is the Mantola R-453 manufactured in 1940. Mantola was the brand name of the radios which B.F. Goodrich sold in their Goodrich Silvertown tire stores. Back in the 1930's and 1940's every decent sized city had a Goodrich store. The restorers research indicates that this radio was manufactured by Continental Radio and Television, later known as Admiral. This is a larger table radio at 16"W x 10"H x 8"D. It is a six-tube set with a transformer. The cabinet was stripped and lacquered with three coats and turned out fantastic. It looks just like it did when it was manufactured with a beautiful walnut shade with black trim. All of the capacitors and all out of tolerance resistors were replaced. A new back and a new polycarbonate dial cover was added. In terms of performance, it is very strong throughout the dial and provided excellent sensitivity and tone on both the AM and SW bands. Just a gorgeous example of radio history. $350.00. (1860010)

 

Truetone D703 (Admiral) (1939)

Truetone D703 (Admiral) (1939)

This is a very rare 1939 Truetone/Admiral model D-703. AM radio – working. It has been recapped and adjusted with all original knobs, grille cloth and hardware. The brass enhancements on the front grill adds to the display quality in any collection. This radio is unique in that it can be displayed either vertically or horizontally (see photos). The case is in very good condition except for one small hairline on either the side or the bottom, depending upon your display orientation and a minor chip on the rear back panel. If not for those two minor anomalies this radio would sell today $379-$400 (see photos). There are different variants of this radio with different grille styles, either in the black Bakelite, or the more rare ivory Plaskon cabinet. It does work and picks up my local stations. $189.00.

Mike's Collectible Radios

Lets face it, collecting radios is a hobby.  I've collected about 150 beautiful radios and that's way too many for my little New York City apartment.  It's time to let someone else enjoy them.

I'm a collector not a technician.  I love the history of the American radio industry.  As a collector I want my radios to function even if I rarely listen to them.

All the radios I'm selling are working, have been restored or recently serviced or I will tell you otherwise.  I will point out any flaws before you purchase and they are offered at a fair price.

Every radio will be tested before shipping and securely packed for safe shipment to you.  Radios will packed with the respect an antique deserves.  Shipping is additional to the final agreed price.

All sales are final.  However If there is a problem with any radio within 7 days of receiving it, simply contact me and we will make arrangements to satisfy you up to and including return and full refund if necessary.  My radios are between 50 and 90 years old, therefore no warranty or guaranty is offered or implied.  Collectors must have reasonable expectations.

Again, collecting radios is a hobby not a business.

I can accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, personal checks and cash if you're picking the radio up.
