Airline 25GSL-1814A (1952)
This vintage Airline model is a bit unusual and rare, for I haven't seen this model before and I have been in the radio business for quite a long time. I have completely restored it, replacing all of the older paper and wax type capacitors with newer longer lasting ones. Also replaced the old style electrolytic capacitors which cause that hum that you hear in older radios when they go bad. All the tubes have been checked on my tester and I have replaced any of the bad ones with new, all circuits checked and working properly now and the radio sounds as nice as it looks. 10-3/4"W x 7"H x 7-3/4"D. $194.50.

Decca Portable Record Player (about 1960)
Bring out all of your nice old favorite records, your 78's 45's and 33's too. It will play them all and sounds great. The amplifier has been completely restored by replacing all of the old type capacitors and replaced the electrolytics so there's no hum and had the power tube replaced. It has a good cartridge and a new needle. I have gone thru it cleaned and lubed all of the moving parts. The case is solid, shows some wear a few scuffs of course for its age but is pretty fair as you can see. $139.00. (0021448)

Detrola Radio (1940-41)
This is a rare model that I was not able to find anything about. It has been gone through completely, all old paper caps are now replaced with the newer types and the electrolytic caps also have been replaced. Each tube checked on my tube checker and now this neat looking little radio is working very nice and will serve for many years to come. The solid wood case has a very nice finish. I have replaced the power cord and it has a good back cover. Only 9-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 5-1/4"D. $195.00. (0021498)

General Electric CL-541 (1946-47)
This excellent looking radio is a bit rare and I was not able to find out very much on this nice General Electric set which was made in Canada.

I tested the clock over a full two days and it kept perfect time. The radio has a good long power cord. The nice cream colored plastic case is polished up to a real nice shine and looks pretty good as you can see. 11"W x 6"H x 5"D. $97.00. (0021483)

German Victrola
I don't have any idea when this copy of what appears to be the upscale model of a 1911 Victor Victrola model VV-IX Type D was produced or how it came to America, but I have it and it is a real charmer. It's in excellent working condition and the case is in very nice condition too. There is no corrosion on any of the metal parts, the turntable green felt cover appears like new and there extra new needles. $275.00. (0021251)

This good looking AM broadcast portable radio has an all metal case with a gold painted top and the lower covered with a black vinyl material. There are no scuffs in the vinyl or cracks or breaks, it's a very solid, nice case. The electronics have been upgraded with all the newer electronic parts and the radio plays very well, loud and clear and bringing in many stations. It works on standard AC household current. When it was used as a portable radio it required two "D" size batteries and a 67.5 volt "B" battery which is no longer available. 8-1/4"W x 6-1/4"H x 2-1/4"D. $69.00. (0021132)

Motorola 67L11 Portable (1947)
Five-tube AM Broadcast portable with AC power. This set was made for Motorola by The Galvin Mfg. Co. 1947. It has been completely restored electronically with all of the older capacitors replaced with new, and new electrolytics have replaced the old ones too, so it will no longer have any background deep hum. The tubes have all been checked and good ones have replaced any that needed to be and this radio plays very well now. It has a good power cord. The faux snake-skin cabinet has some scuffing but very little it is mostly on the inside of the front cover (see picture). 13"W x 9-1/2"H x 6-1/4"D. $89.00. (0021434)

National NC-121 (1963-66)
General coverage four-band AM, Ham and Short Wave radio. For those of you who enjoy searching across the dial for those far away stations just attach a long-wire antenna to this set and start trolling the dial. The NC-121 is fairly well calibrated and the sensitivity on the AM broadcast band is very good. Overall the sensitivity is good on both The Short-Wave and AM. The metal case is in very nice condition as you can see, without any dents just a few small smudges on it, hard to see here. It's a great radio. 13-1/2"W x 7-7/8"H x 8-5/8"D. 28 pounds. $169.00.

Silvertone 1591 "Custom" (1940-41)
This is quite different from any of the other Sears 1591 models that I have come across over the years as it's all nicely decorated with colorful designs of fruits and flowers and quite nicely done. The radio receives broadcasts on AM with a Shortwave band and also shows the old Police band too. This is a nine-tube set and is what's called a Superheterodyne. Sears named it a "Radionet" because it has a special built-in antenna system to help bring in those distant stations. It is working perfectly; all the old capacitors have now been replaced with the newer types and it also has new filter capacitors, and a nice long vintage cloth covered style power cord and a vintage plug to match. All of the tubes have checked out good, it has a nice bright tuning eye too. 18"W x 16"H x 10"D. $425.00. (0021381)

Silvertone 6120 (1939)

Here's a great looking table model, a five-tube Superheterodyne AM set that has had all the electronics gone thru, capacitors replaced with the newer types. All circuits checked, all tubes checked on my tube checker replacing any poor ones with new or test like new ones. The power cord has been replaced with a new one. This radio has a large internal wire-wound antenna for its good reception. The nice shiny case is in pretty nice condition too with no scratches, cracks or breaks except as you see that little piece in back top right. This is a nice looking radio! 12-1/2"W x 6-3/4"H x 6-3/4"D. $110.00. (0021423)

This is used. It is working, well cared for and clean. $95.00. (0021369)

Trav-Ler 5015 (1947)
Nice little AM broadcast set, a five-tube Super-Heterodyne type. It has been electronically restored and is working very well. I have re-painted it the same color that it was before; it was pretty badly scratched up when I received it. It will now look nice in most any room. 10"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D. $159.50. (0021347)

Trav-Ler 5028A (1947)
This is such a great looking little portable radio and it has a surprising amount of power. After a complete electric restoration and tune-up I was able to tune in quite a few stations, clear and with very good volume. Cosmetically for a radio of this age it's in pretty amazing condition. There aren't any rips or tears in the faux snakeskin covering and the leather handle is in good condition too. Only 8-1/2"W x 5"H x 5"D. $159.00. (0021534)
