Sony ICR-120 Micro

Sony ICR-120 Micro

Offered here is this early integrated circuit micro radio from Sony. This historic radio showed the world the innovation Sony was capable of as this tiny radio came with a charger and the original case is also here. Well preserved, but the current batteries will not accept a charge, so this is untested. The radio is missing the Sony name badge. $125.00. (0520620)

 

Tiny Tim Crystal Radio

Tiny Tim Crystal Radio

Offered here in beautiful condition (perhaps unused) is this early crystal radio made in the USA in 1957. The name on it is Tiny Tim and it was made by Remco. This looks to be complete and is untested. This is designed to run without batteries by grounding the wire. It has no speaker and is for private listening through the earpiece. These were considered toys when I was a kid, now they are highly collectable, especially when found in nice condition. $55.00. (0520626)

 

Weatherman Slim Six

Weatherman Slim Six

Discovered this rare gem. It is an early hand-wired transistor radio made by LT Labs in the mid 50's. This has two bands: Standard AM broadcast and Aircraft/Weather band. Information on this radio was hard to find, but I did recover an ad which is in the last picture. This radio is all original and looks to be complete. It shows light to normal wear but no damage. All knobs and switches operate as they should. It requires four "AA" batteries, but when loaded up it did not respond. $195.00. (0520624)

 

Zenith Royal 20 Micro (1966)

Zenith Royal 20 Micro (1966)

Offered here is this nice example of Zenith's only micro radio, the Royal 20. This little gem measures only 2" square and when tested played loud and clear. You will need to obtain two model 640 button batteries though. $65.00. (0520621)

 

Zenith Royal 300 (1957)

Zenith Royal 300 (1957)

Offered here is this early Maroon Zenith Royal 300 from 1957 in original working condition. It is in nice used cosmetic condition and the chassis is all original. This radio pulls all your local stations across the AM dial. Includes its nice leather carrying case. $95.00. (0520622)

About Gary's Vintage Gems from the North
About me: I have been interested in transistor radios for as long as I can remember, but a collector of them for over 20 years now. During that time, I have become knowledgeable and learned how to judge quality and what it takes for a radio to become a desirable collectible.

My Mission: It is my mission to offer top quality collectible transistor radios that are clean, functional, and highly desirable. I take measures to assure each one reaches a high level of cleanliness and performance before it is listed. I will try to give you a clear idea of what you are buying so that you can judge the value before you make that purchase. But if in doubt, please feel free to ask any questions before buying.

Living up to my mission statement is how I have been able to sell over 500 transistor radios in almost ten years on the attic. My clients are generally those who desire high quality and know that by dealing with me, they won't receive surprises or waste money by dealing with novice sellers on auctions.
TERMS

Payments:  Using PayPal will assure that your radio will be shipped within 24 hours.  If you prefer, I will also accept money orders or personal checks, but your personal check must clear before I ship.

Shipping:  I use the utmost care in preparing your gem for its trip from the north to you, but the cost of shipping is in addition to the price shown.  I have found that USPS Priority Mail is the most economical way to ship your new radio to you, but I am glad to use a different carrier when requested.

Questions?  In addition to the pictures, I will try to give each radio a clear description detailing the make, model, year, size, cosmetic and playing condition, battery requirements, and any accessories that are included.  If you still have questions, feel free to ask them before purchasing and I will do my best to answer them.

Returns:  If all efforts fail and a return is requested, I will be glad to refund the full purchase price of the radio once it is safely returned at the buyers expense.
