Zenith Deluxe Royal 500 (1961)
This is an exceptional restored Deluxe Royal 500 AM transistor radio. The cabinet is in superb condition. These radios are very hard to find in this condition. Most of them have cracks in the outside of the case and are well used. This one has one small piece (1/16 inch) missing which you cannot see. It has a larger speaker and is more powerful than the older 500's. This one picks up a lot of AM frequencies and plays superbly. It has eight transistors mounted in transistor sockets. I replace all electrolyte and wax capacitors. It been cleaned and aligned to play like new. The battery box clean. It requires four "AA" batteries which I supply. If you have one of these and wish me to restore it, email me. Was $245.00, now $225.00. (0040428)

Zenith Royal 1000 Trans-Oceanic (1957)
This should be in a museum. It was covered by a plastic cover which preserved its like new appearance (see pictures). It is the first year the 1000 was built. You can tell by the plastic battery box and the Genuine Leather on the front inside cover. But this is more. It is one of the first ones built in 1957. It has the 600 series prongs on the battery box for the red external Wavemagnet antenna on the back. The lights' wires are taped to the light holder rather than a steel prong. The back does not have 1000 on it. Two of the trimmers are in a different place than the later 1000's. It has the Black RCA transistors. The speaker had the code 342750 (50th week of 1957). The handle/antenna has a press to release mechanism as well. The external Wavemagnet did not come with the radio so I found one from another radio. Otherwise it is all original. Very little alignment was needed. The radio is not just serviced which replaces some electrolytic capacitors. It is restored with all new electrolytic capacitors which will allow the radio to play another 40 years like new. 1 year warranty. The radio will be shipped to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. Was $445.00, now $395.00. (0040427)

Battery box is pristine. It comes with a log book and also an original cord. It plays like no other on FM. This plays very good AM and Shortwave. There was very little alignment need on this radio which probably means it was not played a lot. The radio is not just serviced which replaces some electrolytic capacitors.

Zenith C725L (1963 or 64)
I believe this is one of the last tube radios made by Zenith as it has a Zenith Trans-Oceanic 3000 speaker in it. You get the sound of a 3000 with a tube radio which actually sounds better on FM. Its chassis number is 7C06. With seven tubes and a rectifier and a 3000 speaker, it just plays beautifully. I replaced the selenium rectifier, all the electrolyte and wax capacitors. It was cleaned lubed and aligned. As you can see the plastic cabinet is in very good condition to almost pristine condition. One small chip missing on the grille. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days Read some of my feedback on restoration on eBay under Hammer39. $100.00. (0040425)

Zenith R-520/URR Military Trans-Oceanic (1954)
This is one of 5000 units made for the military in 1953 and early 1954. Therefore rare. These radios are absolutely the best. More then any 500 or 600 I have had or restored. This is because they were built to military specification and without cost constraints. And this one is mostly complete with everything that came with the radio in 1954. Even the front name plate is original. You can see the USA on the bottom front and sides where it was stamped. This was actually used by the military but still looks pristine on the outside. It is restored with all new electrolytic and paper capacitors state of the are replacements which will allow the radio to play another 40 years like new. It is also cleaned, lubed and each band is aligned for peak performance. On the minus side the front dial plate has a few cracks. The light does not function. It does not have the original battery cylinder or technical manual. But it does have another complete set of tubes, lights and fuses. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. Read some of my feedback on restoration on eBay under Hammer39. $1,195.00. (0040423)

Sony TFM-6150W
Nice little Sony radio made around 1976. Works great with four "AA" batteries. 6"W x 4"H x 1-3/4"D. $95.00. (0040422)

Hallicrafters SX-62 (1948)
This is a 16-tube, six-band AM/FM/Shortwave Receiver. I have replaced all the electrolytic and wax capacitors. I changed three tubes out and some resistors. It plays both FM bands and AM. I can induce frequencies into the Shortwave bands but it picks up only a few stations. This could be because it needs a large outside antenna. Because of this I am listed it for what I bought and put in it. It probably could be fixed by a Ham radio specialist but even so the parts on it are worth quite a bit to someone with a broken or missing parts SX-62. It about 65 lbs so shipping can be costly. $175.00. (0040419)

Zenith Royal 2000 Trans-Symphony (1962)
Another great 2000 for a great price. Everything works on this radio including the On/Off switch. These radios were companions to the original Zenith Trans-Oceanic 1000. They are a great FM players as well as AM. You pull the twin antennas for FM playing. Power is supplied by eight "D" cell batteries in the plastic battery case stored on the bottom inside of the radio. I replaced all the electrolyte and wax capacitors. Cleaned, lubed and aligned both bands for peak performance. The case is in good condition as you can see from the pictures. A fantastic price for a great playing radio. 1 year warranty. The radio will be shipped to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. Read some of my feedback on eBay under Hammer39. $125.00. (0040417)

Heathkit GR-81 Short Wave Receiver (1961)
This is a Heath Kit Economy Shortwave and AM Radio. It was made for the entry level Ham and was built out of a kit. The electrolyte caps have been replaced and therefore plays great. All others caps are disk capacitors which rarely fail. All tubes check good. It is also cleaned and lubed. The case has no dents or scrapes but is missing some of its paint.

Stewart-Warner R-104A Cathedral (1932)
This is just a beautiful looking cathedral radio made by Stewart-Warner in 1932. It was purchased in Wilmington, North Carolina some 15 years ago. Been with me ever since. The ornate cabinet is in superb original condition. It is a large six-tube cathedral with an 8-inch speaker that looks like new (see pic). The chassis is as clean as you get with an 80 year old radio and all six tubes were good. I replaced all the electrolytic and wax capacitors, as well as most of the resistors which were out of tolerance. It plays loud and clear. The power cord, antenna wire and ground wire are all new. It was cleaned, oiled and aligned for peak performance. The speaker grille cloth and knobs are original and in excellent condition. Six month warranty. 19"H x 14"W x 12"D. $495.00. (0040354)

This is a Music Box AM radio by Electrohome, made in Canada in 1946. It is a five-tube All American miniature tube radio that is a great AM player with a 10 ft cord. I restored it with all new electrolyte and wax cap replacements and good tubes. It also has a new power cord. To turn it on, you just open the box lid. The wooden box is in great condition. The chassis and speaker look like new. The dial plastic has been repaired but can be seen easily in that little dial window. $275.00. (0040345)
