Airline 62-329 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) I've mentioned this before: Montgomery Wards sold millions of products without manufacturing anything! Radios were no exception. Just on the Radio Museum alone over 2,000 models are listed. They did succeed as they used very good radio manufacturers and sold quality products. The list of manufacturers of Airline radios is long. Wells-Gardner, Belmont, Davidson-Haynes, US Radio Corp. and Kingston Radio. Here is a list of the manufacturers' abbreviations used on many labels of Airline radios: AA, BR, CB, CCB, GAA, GHM, GSE, GSL, GWM, HA, JB, JP, KP, KR, WG and others! The 62-329 is a nine-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. The set utilizes two 6F6 tubes for push-pull audio through an 8-inch speaker, which enhances the volume noticeably. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead and an audio input cable were installed. Gary stripped off the old finish, and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, dial scale, chassis and speaker were retained. This radio is a great performer across the dial with plenty of volume and tone control and a bright and active tuning eye tube.

Airline 62-367 "Teledial" (1937) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In the 1930's, radios were the cutting edge of new electronic innovation for consumers of that generation. Competition was fierce, so manufacturers were constantly improving the radios and adding features. The Teledial was a quick way to dial in your favorite stations without having to manually turn a dial and search. Most of them were set up much like a rotary dial on telephones, and made the tuning process much easier and faster. All the radio manufacturers at one time or another featured Teledials, soon replaced by electric selection and motorized dials. The 62-367 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB+SW) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and external audio cable were installed. The Teledial is backlit and the eye tube is bright and active. Gary stripped the Walnut cabinet and skillfully applied lacquer for a gorgeous "piano" finish. The set has original knobs, chassis and speaker. A unique and beautiful radio which will grace anyone's collection! 23-1/2"W x 11"H x 12-1/2"D.Was $795.00, now $725.00. (1600456)

(0260856)
-
Airline 74BR-1502B (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a very small five-tube radio that is AM only. I call it a "Mini Toaster" as late 40's radios all seem to look like toasters to me! It has an ivory painted Bakelite case with no chips, cracks or hairlines. The matching ivory bullet knobs are not original but streamline the case a bit in front. It has the original metal back that also acts like an antenna, but it picks up a lot more with a long wire antenna attached.

Arvin 417 "Rhythm Baby" (1936) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio) Arvin was based in Columbus, Indiana and was the radio brand name manufactured by Noblitt-Sparks. There were four companies with the first starting on 1919 as Indianapolis Air Pump, to car radios in 1933 to home radios in 1935 as Noblitt-Sparks and Arvin. They created "families" of radios, starting with the "Rhythm Series" in 1936 and the "Phantom Series" in 1937. Many of these radios are highly collectable, with the "Rhythm King" being one of the hardest radios to find. There were several "Rhythm" series radios...The King, Queen, Master, Junior, Maid, Bell and Baby, which we have here. The 417 is a four-tube, two-band (AM,police) radio. The capacitors have all been replaced. We checked resistors and tubes and replaced where needed. A safety fuse and polarized power cord were installed.

The cord was replaced with a new polarized one for safety (which is needed on these metal sets!). It needs a long wire antenna to work but is sensitive to just about any length added. It picks up local stations and depending on the antenna, can reach out further. I went through the chassis and replaced weak tubes, filters, and caps. It has been aligned as well. It has a nice sound through its 4-inch speaker. This little set would look nice on your desk at home or office. 8-1/4"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/4"D. $100.00. (1700075)

Atwater Kent 82 (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) The Atwater Kent (AK) 82 is one of the most beautiful cathedral radios ever made. The exterior design, stylish and ornate, with burled walnut inlays, exotic African zebra wood, and elegant spiral pillars with indented button blocks, was protected by Patent USD85974S (Bradley). I have produced a museum quality finish with no less than eighteen coats of lacquer & three sanding operations. I also refinished inside, rear and bottom for a spectacular presentation. The AK 82 is a performance standard of the period & the 8-inch speaker sound is deep and rich. I have re-stuffed all caps, tested and updated all components and cables as necessary. The set is fully aligned per AK's OEM specs. The illuminated dial has a stunning patina. This AK 82 had "advanced technology" AVC employing a "control tube" to vary the gain of the first two stages. For knock-down, drag-out, eye catching curb appeal, you will be hard pressed to beat this radio. It will be the conversation piece of your collection. I put a lot of effort into this beauty. I hope you will agree it was worth it. AKs were among the best of their time, and this is a great example of that commitment to quality. Few know Atwater Kent closed his factories rather than cut the performance of his radios to meet the price points required to survive the Great Depression. One small veneer repair at the bottom rear. Requires external antenna. 19"H x 15-1/2"W x 10"D. $1,200.00. (1680109)

Atwater Kent 725 (1936) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Atwater Kent started producing high-quality radios in Philadelphia in 1922 & between 1923 and 1927 produced 1.3 million radios, making them the leading radio manufacturer in America until problems with the unions and the depression. The factory was closed in 1936. This set was made in 1936 and represents the last year Atwater Kent manufactured radios. It is near flawless (9.7)! I believe it to be all original incl. knobs, perfect grille cloth, dial, speaker, etc. Looks closely at the speaker & tranny still has the factory crinkle paint, seriously. Also factory tags inside the cabinet + on the chassis. As tombstones go, it really has a slender, sleek look being only 8"D, yet 17"H. Beautiful multi-colored Killer dial with "two worlds" along with great performance. Model 725 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) set. It is an older restore, but was completed a few years ago by a pro when I placed it in my collection. It plays very, very well on both bands. The 725 has separate lights for each band, and the dial pointer (see white arrow follows as the pointer) is illuminated when the radio is turned on. This is a really nice sounding Atwater Kent, and will definitely grace anyone's collection! Again this is a quality radio so please look closely at the pictures and don't hesitate to ask any questions. The fine radio will be wrapped especially well. 17"H x 13"W x 8"D. $469.00. (1640290)

Atwater Kent 856 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio) As beautiful as it is rare, this Atwater Kent 856 from 1935 is a real eye catcher. AK also gave it some cool features, like a dial that lights the selected band, and a two-speed tuner that you can switch from high to low without removing your hand from the knob. The front is ornate and fitted with gorgeous booked veneer. The chassis is a very good performer with amazing sound from the perfect 8-inch speaker. This came to me with two coats of lead based white paint on it. After 12 hours of scrubbing I got 99.9% of it off, but damaged the front veneer in one spot (see photos). It really isn't terrible, and you don't notice it if you are not looking for it. The gloss finish is the slickest I have ever done. 18 coats were needed to cover up the grain after cleaning the white paint. While it retains a few specks and dings, it is crazy nice. A lot of people would call it piano finish. I replaced all the caps, most of the resistors and most of the rubber wiring. A full set of tubes that all test new for long service life. This thing was ruined when I got it, but now it is pretty much a show stopper. $849.00. (1680104)

Bang & Olufsen Jet 509K (1952) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) B&O was founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. In 1927, they moved into a factory and developed a radio, which debuted in 1929, the "Five Lamper" and its peripheral "Type D" loudspeaker. Powered from the receiver, the Five Lamper only required connection to an electrical outlet to play. This radio was also the first unit to be encased in a walnut cabinet. In January, 1945, the Germans bombed B&O's factory, since both B&O refused to collaborate and its employees were suspected Danish Resistance members. In the 1950s, B&O, assisted by Denmark's renowned architects and designers, developed components that earned praise for aesthetic appeal. They were rewarded in 1978 when NY's Museum of Modern Art arranged a 39-piece exhibition of B&O's products, an honor only bestowed on three other companies during the 20th century. Our model has five tubes, AM, LW, + two SW Bands, but no FM. Richard repaired one 1N4007 rectifier, one AC power plug, re-wired 220VAC to 120VAC, and aligned IF and RF. The cabinet was repaired. $675.00. (1300085)

Belmont 638 "Rabbit" (1940) SOLD! (Bakelite tube table radio) Belmont's "Rabbit" is well loved by collectors. Introduced in 1940, this radio was popular enough that it was brought back after the war as model 6D111 with no significant changes. One of its unique features is its fully mechanical pushbutton tuning (no dirty contacts to deal with), similar to that often used in vintage car radios. Kudos to the previous restorer who did a fantastic job painting the cabinet. It looks great! The repro back and twisted pair power cord are also his work; I upgraded the electronic restoration with new resistors, a new tube, and a full alignment (it was previously fully recapped). It performs, looks, and sounds like brand new. Lighted dial. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D. $250.00. (1310159)

Braun PC3SV Turntable (1959-1961) (Plastic phonograph) Braun was founded by Max Braun in 1921 and started making radios and turntables in 1929. By the mid-1950s, the Braun brand was influenced by the German concept of modern industrial design and its combination of functionality and technology. One of its design leaders was Dieter Rams, who was a key figure in the German design renaissance of the late 1950s and 1960s. Dieter, along with Hans Gugelot, designed the famous SK4 record player, aka "Snow White's Coffin." Dieter also designed our shown PC3SV turntable as well as the "D" series (D25-D47) of high-quality 35 mm slide projectors. He and Dietrich Lubs are also credited with the design of a classic range of Braun alarm clocks which began with the AB 20 in 1987. Braun continued producing alarm clocks, of this type, through 2005. Dieter Ram retired in 1995. This turntable is constructed from modern plastic and functions properly. Richard Majestic replaced one P-186 cartridge and one audio cable. He also converted the turntable motor from 50Hz to 60Hz to play 33-1/3 RPM LPs. $625.00. (1300084)

Climax (model unknown, 1932?) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) Most of us that have tried to "research" early Climax radios know there isn't much on the internet about them. Most of the info is a guessing game, and comparing them to known models. I found a few models that were similar to this radio, probably manufactured early 1930's. This radio was originally a five-tube, AM only TRF set. All that remains from the original chassis is the transformer and tuner. We rebuilt this set into an AA5 radio with a ton of features. We installed a solid state AM tuner, built a 5K3 amplifier similar to the same amp found in small Fender guitar amps. This chassis has a contour tone control, a brand new 6-inch speaker, multiple 1/4" outputs for an external speakers. This radio functions perfectly as a tube radio, but can also be used to play guitar and other instruments through. Gary stripped the cabinet and came out with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. This radio would appeal to a collector as a functioning, rare Climax radio, but also to musicians and hi-fi enthusiasts with its audio versatility. We included a 1/4" input with cable adapter to access your external devices. Please call us for more info on this unique radio!Was $699.00, now $599.00. (1600472)

Climax UE-64 (1938) ON SALE!

Original grille cloth, knobs, speaker, dial, pointer, etc. with a very clean chassis. This is a seven-tube super-het clean chassis with both AM & SW. Repro cardboard back. Electronically restored, plays with great volume, clarity, and selectivity picking up all my locals & beyond with short wire antenna. Bright green working eye tube. The recent cabinet refinish looks very attractive. I would judge it a 9.5 on 10 scale. Climax Radio & Television merged with General Television in early 30's & a lot of their radios were turned out in the Factory "A," Factory "B" era making it very difficult to tag a model # per se on some sets. Based on the seven-tube complement, I feel this is one of those cases & likely a late version of the UE-64. First time seen & listed here or elsewhere that I can find. 18-1/2"W x 8-1/2"H x 9"D.Was $650.00, now $479.00. (1640261)

Coronado 867 (1940) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Coronado brand was sold by the Gamble department stores. This is a very rare beautiful example of this model. It is a medium sized tombstone and the contrasting veneer tones and maple inlays make it a real stunner. The radio was in excellent condition when I bought it, so I cleaned the chassis and controls. Replaced all wax paper and electrolytic capacitors and tested all other components and any out of tolerance were replaced. All tubes were tested and any weak or defective tubes were replaced. A NOS green eye tube was installed. The original finish was in good shape and was cleaned up and re-sprayed with Mohawk toners and clear lacquer.

Coronet C2 (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) This Bakelite AM radio has a truly unique dial placement (other C2 models had wooden cases). It is reminiscent of a console radio, only much smaller!

Crosley 10-136E (1950) (Plastic tube table radio) This radio features a factory installed RCA jack in the back for another listening option beyond the standard AM broadcasts. The Crosley "dashboard" series are among the best styled radios of the 1950's, inspired by the ornate and chrome bedazzled cars of the decade. This one is an exceptionally nice example of a popular model in the series. The cabinet has been repainted in high quality automotive light blue metallic lacquer and then clear coated for a shine and durability. A striking color that compliments the still-glistening chrome grille and knobs. It has been recapped, aligned, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays loud and clear across the dial with its built-in loop antenna, receiving all my local stations. 12-3/4"W x 7"H x 7"D. $199.00. (1790228)
-
Crosley 11-120U "Dashboard" (1951) (Plastic tube clock radio) This is a nice Crosley Dashboard radio from 1951 being sold for display or restoration. The original white color needs some touch-up. The knobs are in place and the clock is working quietly keeping time. The brass plated escutcheons have some normal wear. The clock plastic cover has stress cracks near the on-off knob. The radio plays local AM stations with some static which I attribute mostly to the many fluorescent lights in my shop. The case has no cracks, chips, repairs, or hairline cracks. There is an appliance plug on the left side. The original label is still on the bottom. About 13"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. $120.00. (1800049)
-
Crosley 63-TJ "Victory" (1946) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a beautiful, seldom offered for sale and somewhat rare Crosley "Victory" model and an obvious tribute to victory in WWII. It must have been one of the first radios off Crosley's assembly line after they switched back to making civilian products. The large airplane dial-pointer, the use of Foreign and American instead of SW and BC to label the bands, and the proud statement that it is a Crosley "Victory Model" on its colorful large dial with red, white, blue stripes... kind of says it all. The beautiful dial is lit with two pilot lights which is simply gorgeous. This radio survives to honor those who fought and gave their lives to protect America even to this day. What a trophy and memorial to our freedom effort! Recent complete restore inside and out with factory knobs, speaker, dial, clear dial cover, full back and new era correct grille cloth. It has a built-in loop antenna with provisions for connecting an external antenna. It has a deep clear sound and picks up stations across the dial. It also picks up SW with longer antenna wire. Nice clean chassis. About 15"W x 10"H x 8"D. $499.00. (1640259)
-
Crosley 124 "Playboy" (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) The 124 Playboy was a fairly good seller for Crosley in the early 30s. It has a large, substantial look to it. They used the space for a very good sounding 8-inch speaker and a well designed chassis. If I had known then what I know now I would have scrapped this one. I had to replace the veneer over the arch, make the tube cover and chassis metal pan. I had to paint the chassis. My genius nephew-in-law 3-D printed the escutcheon for me. The top had a tiny bit of ripple which I didn't notice, so when I wet sanded the ten base coats of semigloss, I wound up with that showing through the otherwise nice, slick finish. It isn't as bad as the photo booth lighting made it look in the top photo. It has the early 30s antenna type volume control, so you have to crank it up to get weak stations. Requires an external antenna. It has some shortcomings and I'm pricing it accordingly, but it is still a pretty darn cool radio. 17"W x 17"H x 11"D. $300.00. (1680127)
-
Crosley 124 "Playtime" (1931) ON SALE! (Wood other radio) BC. This is the only known variant of the Playtime clock radio that has an original windup clock! One winding gives up to twelve days of operation of

Fully restored and warranted. 66-1/2"H x 24"W x 10-1/2"D.Was $750.00, now $650.00. (0100179)
-
Crosley 154 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This adorable little Crosley 154 came to me in absolutely horrible condition, but it is the only example of this radio I am aware of, so I wanted to restore it. The front veneer was in very bad condition, but I spruced it up the best I could. A lot of flaws remain in the otherwise nice finish after 80 years of obviously hard living. The photo finish is gone from the lower left and right columns. The speaker is not original and has a couple of patches by a previous servicer. I had to paint the chassis. Crosley employed regeneration in the IF circuit to give it the gain of a five-tuber. It has the 1930s style antenna volume control, so you have to turn it up to pick up weak stations. The gold sparkle in the luxurious Brown Lurex grille cloth doesn't show up in the photos but is very elegant. While it has some shortcomings, this radio is extremely rare. None has ever sold on the attic, and the one on Radio Museum is this one. Despite its blemishes, this really is a little cutie, and if you're a Crosley guy, I'm betting you don't have one of these. Requires an external antenna. 12-1/2"H x 10"W x 8"D. $299.00. (1680106)

Crosley 167 "Dual Fiver" (1934) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio) Powell Crosley started The Crosley Manufacturing Company in Cincinnati in 1921 and quickly became the number one seller of low-cost radios. By the early 1930's, they were replaced by Philco as the low-cost leader. They later produced home appliances, automobiles, and produced products for the war effort. The "Dual Fiver" cathedral came out in 1934, and was followed by a later production model, a tombstone design which we have here. The "Dual Fiver" is a five-tube, two-band (AM,Police) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a safety fuse, polarized power cord, audio input cable and a new antenna lead. Gary did his usual masterful cabinet work. The Mahogany, Zebrawood and Birch veneers are beautifully refinished, and show the highlights of these gorgeous veneers. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are with the set. The correct green-lit dial is in perfect condition. This later-production "Dual Fiver" is hard to find, and never in this pristine condition! 14"H x 11"W x 8"D.Was $649.00, now $599.00. (1600452)
-
Crosley 168 (1933) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio w/SW) BC+1SW. This set sat somewhere in a paint shop and was a slate grey with overspray totally obscuring the beautiful inlayed veneer cabinet with a vivid Zebrawood arch. Chassis is a very good performer with excellent audio and a tone control, and the original knobs and grille cloth cap off the original look of the set. Auxiliary input installed, fully restored and warranted. 16"H x 13-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D.Was $475.00, now $425.00. (0100177)

Crosley 179 "Dual Seventy" (1934) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Many people hail this Crosley model as one of the finest designs the company produced. The cabinet echoes many artistic elements found in the 1930's...the "Skyscraper Empire" design with silver trim elements and the ebony top. This radio screams Art Deco! The 179 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB,police) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were replaced where needed. A new power cord, audio input, antenna lead and safety fuse were added. This set is a strong performer across the dial. Gary did his usual mastery on this unique cabinet. He stripped off the old finish, and using high quality products, created a true masterpiece. He hand painted the ebony top and sides, as well as the silver elements on the front. He then hand polished the radio to a gorgeous luster! The radio has the original knobs, chassis and 8 inch Magnavox speaker. Certainly the centerpiece of a collection, showing the Art Deco design of that period. This beauty awaits the new owner, a radio to truly be proud to own! 17"H x 14" W x 8-1/2"D. $895.00. (1600522)
-
Crosley 615 "Cruiser" (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Crosley Radio Corporation was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1921 by Powell Crosby. He produced radios at a high volume, and copied the "assembly line" concept, earning him the moniker "The Henry Ford of Radio." He later manufactured appliances, cars and contributed the "proximity fuse" during the war. The 615 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, antenna lead and a new power cord were installed. A full alignment was performed, making this radio a strong performer across the dial. Gary stripped and refinished the gorgeous Walnut cabinet, ending up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The chassis, speaker and knobs are original, and a new crystal-clear dial cover was added. This radio would be a wonderful addition to any collection and can be yours in a matter of days! 16"H x 12"W x 9"D. $699.00. (1600403)
-

Its incomparable machine age cabinet with six horizontal fins on each side of its gold-etched vertical dial is simply striking. The chocolate brown Bakelite case with red marbling still retains its showroom shine. The push buttons with original AM station call letters work as designed. Its dial with crystal clear dial cover shines beautifully in the dark. The back panel, label inside the back panel, and power plug are all original to this set.

Davison Haynes Aero (Wood tube cathedral radio) The only identification is Aero on the escutcheon and the number 15997 on the label. This is an extremely rare radio and is the only example I'm aware of. There is little documentation about the company and it appears they were only in business from 1930 to 31. The chassis was assembled at Gilfillan Bros. Plant in L.A. The chassis is the same used in their model 92 and 93 consoles. The radio is in beautiful condition inside and out. The chassis is super clean with no corrosion. The set was serviced by the former owner and plays fine with strong reception. The cabinet has been refinished. The grille cloth is a replacement, but I believe the knobs are original to the set. There is no schematic for this set and so it is offered primarily for display and preservation. 16-1/2"H x 15"W x 9-1/2"D. $749.00. (0260733)

-
Detrola 109 (1935) (Wood tube table radio) Rare Detrola! Neat 6-1/2-inch multi-colored, brightly lit dial. Detrola made some really colorful large lighted dials, but I cannot find this one on any other model nor can I find much info on model 109 so must be one rare bird. Love those rounded waterfall ends. It just shows very well and plays equally well picking up all my locals & very clearly with lots of volume. It has been restored electronically replacing all caps & resistors & checking/replacing any weak tubes. This one should please even the most discriminate collector. Let the pictures tell the story. The only other example found was one sold previously on the Attic (this is not the same one). The dial is unique as I couldn't find it on any other model. The SB scale extends into the lower SW band, basically the police/aviation which is no longer available. The dial has the Red & Blue Network (NBC) and the Blue/Green Columbia Mutual & other broadcasting network bands. It is a five-tube, AC/DC set with extended scale dial set. 16"W x 9-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D. $429.00. (1640287)
-
Detrola 146 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) My latest offering from the Motor City is this attractive, fairly large Detrola 146 table radio. It came to me with a previous restoration over several deep "witness marks" on the top. I was afraid to sand through the veneer, so I cleaned it up and put 15 coats of lacquer over it. A poor attempt at veneer replacement on the lower trim forced me to replace that with American Walnut. The resulting finish is slick, shiny, and gorgeous. A full set of high testing tubes, all new capacitors and resistors as necessary. I stuffed the original filter caps. The speaker was replaced by a previous servicer. It has a couple of small patches. The sound is outstanding! Requires an external antenna. It must be a good one. My Sweetheart tried to get me to let her keep it! 18"W x 11"H x 9"D. $459.00. (1680080)
-

This model is a five-tube super-het chassis which plays on both AM and Shortwave. The radio has a large and impressive 6-inch wide multi-colored dial with the major clear channel stations detailed for easy selection. The radio has a tone control. The waterfall cabinet has been refinished by a prior collector with a nice finish. The condition and quality of his work is excellent. The speaker cloth looks to be a period and looks great. The knobs are factory originals. All capacitors have been replaced and all other components such as tubes and resistors have been checked and replaced where bad or weak. The radio is a early "All American Five" circuit offering the terrific reception qualities they were known for. I am including an AM transmitter and Bluetooth module at no cost. There is no installation or modification needed and you'll be able to use your device to play any music through the radio you wish. 17-3/4"W x 11"H x 8"D. I accept mailed checks for payment.

Detrola 159 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Detrola was founded in 1931 by John J. Ross in Detroit Michigan. They started making their own radios, using outside sources for their cabinets. The company grew rather quickly and soon 90% of production was for brands such as Aria, Sears and Roebuck (Silvertone), Western Auto (Truetone) and many brands for other businesses. Production ceased in 1948 over union issues. The 159 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) and is basically an AC/DC radio utilizing an autotransformer. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. Replaced resistors and tubes where needed. A power cord, antenna lead and safety fuse were installed. The radio receives stations on both bands and has plenty of volume. Gary stripped the cabinet and did some nice toner work and ended up with a "piano" lacquer finish. This seldom seen Detrola is a nice entry level radio for your collection, or a unique Detrola for someone looking for something different to add to their collection. 14"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D. $499.00.

DuMont RA-346 (1956) SOLD! (Metal tube table radio) Here is a mid-century classic which I have never personally seen another. There was a similar one sold on the Attic, but did not include the clock.

The radio color is described as "Chinese Red," with gold trim, accented specifically by an Asian Jade Tree, Butterfly, Ferns, etc. plus the cabinet is outlined with The Greek Key design which runs along the frame edge. Quite unique! Designed to play/display as tabletop or can be hung on wall. The condition is terrific with the front not showing any distress and the cabinet is excellent condition. Note the radio retains the full factory back + two factory tags. The radio is a five-tube super-het working very well picking up all my locals & beyond. Interesting & elegant. This DuMont is in near mint condition! Rare....maybe! 11"W x 8-1/4"H x 4-1/2"D. $225.00. (1640247)

Emerson 540A "Emersonette" (1947) (Plaskon tube table radio) Here is a 1947 "Emersonette" in an ivory Plaskon case. These cases are very fragile and as a result relatively few have survived. This set's cabinet is flawless, simply in immaculate condition with no tube burns, hairlines, cracks or chips anywhere, and it still retains its original glossy finish.

Emerson 845 Series B Mother of Pearl Clock Radio (Other material tube clock radio) Custom shop Mother of Pearl tube radio. This radio was made in a custom shop.

The art and quality of this radio is very professional. This clock/radio has a clear Lucite front and bottom stand that is factory original. The radio plays great and the clock work properly and keeps time well. There is an accent stripe of Abalone running across the side, top and front. Also the end volume knob is covered in Abalone.

Emerson 977 Falcon (Plastic transistor portable radio) Radio just picks up static. The cabinet is really nice but not quite perfect - on inner tab in one corner is a little missing plastic where you can't see it with cover on so it presents really well with most of the paint still on front. This is a rare set and when you fix it (new caps most likely) you'll love it, even the back cover lettering is all there. $70.00. (2430322)
-
Emerson AM-187 "Pagoda" (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is one of the most unusual and seldom seen repwood sets made. These sets were antiqued by hand from the factory; Silver leaf was used as well as traces of red and shadowing. These sets were expensive, as this is the best performing repwood set I've ever owned. Most repwood sets were cheap radios that did not perform well. There isn't much info out there on these as there weren't many made, and very seldom does one come up for sale. The information was given to me by an avid Emerson collector, and a collector that collects nothing but repwood sets. This set still retains its original wood back, with its model number stamped in it. The chassis is clean and rust free and the speaker is flawless. The chassis was electronically restored, cleaning all pots and switches, changing of all filter and paper caps, new cloth line cord, etc. This set has a lot of volume and picks up a lot of stations across the dial. The set has both BC and SW bands. This is a very unique set and I've had it for ten years; the last one I've seen for sale was this one. 14-1/2"W x 9"H x 7"D. $595.00. (0620206)

Emerson AR-176 (1938) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) Emerson started radio production in New York in 1924. Operating in relative obscurity until 1932, they produced the "Pee-Wee" radio. By 1938 they had sold over a million "Pee-Wee" radios. They were the biggest user of Ingraham cabinets, which have great designs using curves and angles with beautiful veneer. The AR-176 is a six-tube, two-band (SB,SW) set. They came in many varieties: push-pull audio, single output audio, teledial chassis, and farm set. This version offers push-pull audio utilizing two 41 output tubes. It's an excellent performer with tons of audio, nice tone and great sensitivity across the dial. We replaced all of the capacitors, resistors and tubes checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, audio input, antenna lead and a new power cable have been added. Gary Marvin refinished the unique "slant-faced" cabinet with the finest grain fillers, paint and lacquer. It has its original Ingraham cabinet badge, and retains the original knobs, grille cloth and decals. A crystal-clear dial cover from Mark Palmquist was installed. This radio is one gorgeous, a perfect example of an AR-176. 17"H x 12-1/2"W x 10-1/2"D. $849.00. (1600520)
-
Emerson AX-217 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) This tiny Emerson was given the model name "Little Miracle" and lives up to its moniker. It's a miracle they were able to fit a five-octal tube chassis into such a tiny cabinet! Despite its size, it plays very well, receiving all of my local stations just with its attached antenna shank of wire still bundled. The chassis has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. The defective (and dangerous) resistance line cord (commonly referred to as a "curtain burner") was eliminated and replaced with a standard line cord and power resistors under the chassis. Between the heat of the tubes and the heat dissipated from the high wattage resistors, it gets extremely warm inside that little cabinet. As such it is not recommended this set be played more than an hour at a time. Because of this and the size limitations, my standard add-on aux audio cord was not installed. The Ingraham cabinet was refinished using toners and topped with a light coat of clear enamel for shine and durability. Only 9"W x 5-3/4"H x 4"D. $159.00. (1790221)
-
Emerson BJ-210 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Here's another classic Emerson with a stylish Ingraham cabinet. The black and red vinyl inlay around the bottom certainly gives this radio some character, perhaps a simple identity from several Emerson models that are very similar in size. The BJ-210 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,Police) AC/DC radio. The BJ is a chassis designation telling us that it was manufactured by Belmont. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We added a new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead. (We do not install audio input cables on AC/DC radios due to electrical shock hazard) This radio performs well across the dial with plenty of volume.

Emerson DS-436 (1940-1941) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) When I was a kid, Cadillac was the king of cars. If a radio was going to be a Cadillac, it would be this awesome Emerson DS346. This thing has features galore. Linear scale indicators for volume and tone. A bright new tuning eye. Huge, perfect, "shock mounted" 8-inch speaker that sounds just incredible, driven by the perfectly matched 6L6 push-pull outputs. A very well designed chassis that has a unique mounting, where it is suspended on rubber washers instead of sitting on the base like most are. The Ingraham cabinet is very stylish and ornate. A couple of "witness marks" too deep to sand, so I filled them before covering the cabinet with 18 coats of lacquer for a nice, slick finish. A not too bad stain on the top. The chassis was restored when I got it, and the workmanship looks good. Receives well on the internal antenna with a wire for external. These are rare. Only two have sold, both last year. If you missed out on those, here's your chance to own one very impressive radio. 18"W x 12-1/2"H x 12"D. $699.00. (1680122)

With the advent of television, their sales more than doubled by 1950. Emerson is still in business today. The L-141 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW-disabled) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed.

ERLA 271-A (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This rather rare radio dating from the very early thirties is an impressive ERLA (Electrical Research Laboratories, Chicago) cathedral radio with a "flat top" and a Hammond clock in the center of the speaker grille. This is a special & unusual set with its "flat top" has a rather unique look for a cathedral. I believe the grille cloth to be original as are the knobs, speaker, dial etc. The case has been nicely refinished and restored by previous owner, & plays with great sound and selectivity with a supplied short antenna. Nice clean chassis & is a seven-tuber driven by a single 45 output! The electric clock also runs, but like all clocks of the era, is not self starting. It is easy to spin the clock into work, with the spinner in the back of the set. It is held in place by retaining clips and can be easily snapped into & out of cabinet. It is a quality one made by Hammond Clock, well known for a recognizable name and quality. This is a large set & the size alone, makes for the impressive appearance, but will require proper packaging & materials. I pack very well using over-sized box & all new materials. The weight is an impressive 42 pounds. The exceptional set would be a fine addition to any collection. 19"H x 14"W x 11"D. $529.00. (1640286)

FADA 605W (1946) SOLD! (Plaskon tube table radio) Cute little postwar Fada in brilliant white Plaskon! The all-American five chassis plays well and has been recapped, lubricated, tubes checked, and alignment peaked. Attractive dial that lights up nicely. Like most Plaskon sets, it has a few issues. There's a small crack at the top left of the speaker grille, visible in the first and third photos. There are cracks on the bottom that go through the screw holes but of course do not show when it's sitting on a shelf. The dial has some fading/separation of the paint from the dial glass, mainly on the left side, not extending into the numbers, but it doesn't show from any distance. Bottom label is mostly intact. Knobs are original and nice. Overall, this is a clean, working, somewhat uncommon radio with a few small flaws and a nice form factor that doesn't take up much room, only 10-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6-3/4"D, including the knobs. It will receive my usual careful and thorough packing job. Grab it while you can! $125.00. (1560056)

Fairbanks-Morse 57 (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a rare version of Fairbanks-Morse and I believe this model has never been offered for sale on The Attic (except the one I sold earlier in 2021). Very unique cabinet with closed back, waterfall veneer that rolls over front to back which makes it very, very unusual (never have seen on any other radio) and vents on both ends as well as bottom. I was attracted to the large beautiful back-lit dial (two pilots), clear lens, and smooth tuning mechanism. Also the large one-piece bullet dial is rather unique with no flaws (rate it a 9.7). This is a five-tuber, two bands (BC & SW) and works strong on both with short antenna (complete recent restore). The chassis is very clean and retains its metal bottom cover with two factory tags. 16"W x 10"H x 9-1/2"D; weighs approx. 12 lbs. $495.00. (1640269)

Firestone 3-7403-7 "The Strafford" (1941) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) I really like Firestone "Air Chief" table radios, and I have several in my collection. It features a beautiful and unique Ingraham cabinet, and is one of the more popular models with collectors. This six-tube, two-band (SB, SW) radio, was the first one I collected. I went through this radio and replaced all of the capacitors, checked and replaced resistors and tubes, installed a new power cord, dial cover and added an audio input. The radio was aligned and performs strong across the dial, utilizing an internal loop antenna. Steve stripped the cabinet and did some really nice highlighting of the stripe around the cabinet. The final result was a gorgeous piano finish. The radio has the original knobs and back. This beautifully designed radio is ready to add to anyone's collection. 14"W x 8"H x 8"D.Was $599.00, now $549.00. (1600409)

Firestone S-7398-3 "Cosmopolitan" (1942) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a beautiful Firestone Air Chief (yep, same store that sold tires, appliances, toys, bicycles, etc.). Sold under the Firestone name, but the radios were made by quality companies such as Stewart-Warner, Detrola, Wells-Gardner, and others. These were well crafted radios. This is an interesting one; BC & SW bands. This model was made by Stewart-Warner and performs well picking up all my locals & beyond with great volume, clarity & selectivity using an internal loop antenna, having been recently restored electronically. The radio is all original and does show minimal wear while retaining the decals and even the photo-finish. The radio offers an additional benefit of a tone control. The factory clear coat shows some light "crazing," but what a display it is with the step-down top, auto influenced grille area. Because of the originality including the photo-finish on the one panel and beautiful contrasting woods, I could not bring myself to stripping the cabinet (only can be original once). Knobs, grille cloth, full factory back + full factory sticker intact and speaker are all original + great gold lighted dial make it "pop." This is a fairly rare set. 18"W x 10"H x 8"D. $329.00.

Ornate scrolling & cut-outs, the Deco lines of the cabinet, waterfall top, super clean chassis with original speaker plus everything else including the knobs, dial etc. The new grille repro cloth is era correct and also very attractive.

General Electric 676 (1955) ON SALE! (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Offered here is this hard-to-find iconic transistor from General Electric. This was one of the first transistors to hit the market debuting in early 1955. It is a four-transistor unit that was powered by a strange 13.5 volt battery that has a weird 3-prong plug. So don't plan on using this as a daily player as it is untested. But as a display unit, it shows well as it has been well preserved. This gem is a great addition to any collection which is trying to feature the initial pioneers of USA made transistor radios, it is clean and without damage. This is also a nice size at only 5-1/2"W and has a solid construction. More photos available upon request.Was $195.00, now $97.50. (0520661)

-
General Electric J62 (1940/1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The unique and attractive J62 "jewel box" was a very good seller for GE and quite a few have survived. This one had been stripped, stained and varnished when I got it. You can't strip wiped on stain, so I touched it up the best I could and put ten coats of lacquer and two sanding operations on it. Still some grain and joints showing. I was able to remove most of the stain from the latticework and grille to give it back some contrast. The last guy left the GE logo, so there was nothing I could do about that. The back cover has a small piece broken off near the bottom. All that said, the chassis is well made and a fairly good performer. The sound is surprisingly good from the perfect 5-inch speaker. Receives well on the internal antennas, with a terminal for external. I made a cable for the phono jack. As with the original, you tune off-station and connect your mobile device. My usual thorough restoration, with all high testing tubes for long service life. Despite its minor shortcomings, this is still a very nice little radio. Broadcast and short wave. 15"W x 10-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D. $299.00. (1680116)
-
General Electric J-64 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is one of General Electric's largest pre-war table radios. The J-64 comes with a big 6-1/2" speaker for a big sound and weighs in at 22 pounds. It certainly wasn't designed to be very portable! The six-tube three-band radio comes with AM and two Shortwave bands. There is excellent reception on all three bands, although there isn't much on Shortwave these days. Cosmetically, this radio looks beautiful and has been stripped and professional refinished using the finest lacquers available. New decals were also applied. The grille cloth is also new. All of the capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. A new polarized power cord has been installed as well. I left the station tabs blank so that you can insert the tabs for the stations that are nearest your location. In summary, a powerful sounding, beautiful looking radio from the excellent engineers at General Electric. 18-1/2"W x 10"H x 9-1/4"D. $349.00. (1780020)

Shipping will depend on your address but I use UPS Ground and can get a discount. $299.00. (1650618)

General Electric K-40-A (1933) (Wood tube table radio) When someone says, "That's a cute radio," I think they might have this little General Electric TRF radio in mind. Manufactured by RCA and sold under the General Electric name for the 1933 model year. Although a four-tube Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) set, it still performs well on the AM band using a long wire. The wood case has been professionally stripped and refinished with quality spray lacquers. All electrolytic and film capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The radio has been tuned and lubricated. The power cord is not original but is a newer fabric covered one that hearkens back to the one that would have been original to this radio. The grille cloth selected is new and creates an beautiful look for this radio. New felt feet were added to prevent scratching of your fine furniture. In sum, I think you will have to look long and hard to find a cuter little radio. About 10"W x 7"H x 4-1/2"D. $249.00. (1780027)
-
General Electric K-80 (1934) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) This GE K-80 is nothing short of a Masterpiece of AM radio technology. The chassis is literally communications grade, with three adjustments for each band, producing a very accurate and nicely illuminated dial. It has separate RF stages for broadcast and shortwave, producing exceptional receiver sensitivity. The sound is awesome from the perfect 10-inch speaker. The wiring is twice as large as most radios. This radio was so advanced the Russians actually copied the chassis to sell as a communications receiver. In 1934 GE and RCA were still in bed together, and this is the same radio as the RCA 141. The cabinet is spectacular, with a very ornate, stained glass grille look. I had to replace the veneer on one side. It's hard to make new veneer match 80 year old, but I think I did pretty well. A few dings remain on the otherwise slick, gorgeous cabinet. I had to touch up some rust on the chassis. The rear looks much better than the photo booth made it. This was an extremely difficult restoration. I gave it all new caps and resistors, a full set of high testing tubes, and a full alignment. 20 coats of lacquer and two sanding operations. This is an outstanding example of this truly remarkable radio. Requires an external antenna. Very heavy, so shipping will be a little steep, but I think the pain will subside quickly once you get it. 21-1/2"H x 15"W x 11-1/2"D. $1,050.00. (1680138)
-
General Electric L-513 (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) A hard to find model especially in excellent original condition. Housed in this sharp looking Ingraham cabinet. The finish is original right down to the complete decal. The veneer used on this example is beautifully figured and better than any I've seen. It has a new complete back. The chassis has been cleaned and serviced. It plays well with AM reception across the dial. 10"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D. $289.00. (0260837)
-
General Electric L-572 (1941) (Catalin tube table radio) Here is a very fine example of GE's Art Deco entry into the Catalin world (they only made two models) and is in a very desirable color combo. Beautiful pre-War 1941 General Electric model L-572 Maroon & Butterscotch eye candy. Deep shine and rich colors as you can tell in pics. I apologize for the glare, but I tried in several lighting conditions and the glare was always there... just so shiny. Both colors have even colors & no blotching (those are shadows) The trim, insert grille, handle, and fluted knobs are all a rich swirled butterscotch color and original + beautiful lit dial, showing the translucency of the cabinet itself. There are no major cracks, scratches, repairs nor repro parts, tho there is a very tight hairline (approx. 3/4") that looks more like a very light scratch that runs from the left corner of grille diagonally toward the left bottom corner (not in grille itself). It is so fine I had trouble capturing a pic (see last pic) & same when looking at it in person; very minor, but wanted to mention. It has been electronically restored and plays well, picking up all my local stations, but who plays a Catalin anyway? Not I. Also most of the original factory label is intact on the bottom. This great radio would make a great addition to any radio or Art Deco collection. It will not disappoint! 9-1/2"W x 6-1/4"H x 6"D. $1,150.00. (1640281)
-
General Electric L-633 (1942) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) The Ingraham Clock Company made some beautiful radio cases during this period and this is one of their finest. The curved design and veneer inlays on this General Electric L-633 radio just say "wow" to the antique radio lover. When I received this radio, the condition of the case was excellent and did not require stripping. I was told that the radio came out of a recently deceased long time collector who favored the Ingraham cases. The radio itself is a six-tube unit that is an excellent performer on both the AM and SW bands. It also contains the Beam-o-scope antenna setup. All electrolytic and film capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The radio has been tuned and lubricated. The power cord has been replaced with a new modern polarized plug. New felt feet were added to prevent scratching of your fine furniture. In sum, one of Ingraham's most beautiful case designs matched with the excellent engineering of a 1942 General Electric radio. About 15"W x 9"H x 7-1/2"D. $329.00. (1780028)

General Electric P830C (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works pretty well but not as loud as it should. Loud enough in a quiet room though. I had a hard time figuring out if I want to call this working or not but I'll go with working as it picks up many stations clearly. The radio itself has no cracks or chips or dents or hairlines, but one tooth tab is missing on right side (common with these) but other one is working great to keep back on. This radio takes a cylindrical 9 volt battery (not included). $50.00. (1430814)

General Electric P2720A Rechargeable (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) This very rare rechargeable radio is working; however, I think the rechargeable batteries don't hold a charge very long and it sounds mostly distorted. Still, I am able to pick up several stations with decent volume, maybe about 70% normal. The recharging dock is included. You can play radio right from the dock and when you remove radio it still works, but I can't guarantee it working for very long. This radio and base charger are both in spectacular shape - no damage, just normal wear but not much. $75.00. (2430142)

-
General Electric Unknown Model (Bakelite tube table radio w/SW) Not quite sure exactly what this model is. It may be a model L44J5 and the chassis design is similar to a LCP596. The antenna board, patent decal and dial pointer sure look like Continental/Admiral to me. At any rate, its five-tube AM and shortwave chassis has been restored by replacing wax and electrolytic capacitors, checking tubes and resistors, and peaking alignment. The Bakelite cabinet was originally painted white but after repairing a crack it received an automotive quality urethane repaint. Internal antenna for local reception. 12"W x 7"H x 7"D. $175.00. (1550163)
-
General Television/Climax "Emerald 1st Version" (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is truly a highly desirable Art Deco radio in extremely rare pristine condition. Manufactured in 1937 by General Television who merged with the Climax Radio Corporation three years earlier, this radio's cabinet made of butt cut walnut veneers is clearly one of the edgiest ever made. Needless to say, this radio would make a great addition to any serious collection. Climax/General Television went all out in 1937 with this extreme Art Deco "Emerald," along with the teardrop "Diamond" and "Opal." This "Emerald" 1st version was the only one to have an oval dial with gold escutcheon. Except for the set's additional phono connector, this radio is all original. The cabinet has been refinished, the chassis has been restored, all caps and weak tubes have been replaced, even the dial marker has been hand polished and detailed. Having been completely restored inside and out, it is an excellent example of a rare radio classic that now picks up my local stations across the entire AM dial loud and clear. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal smoke-free collection. About 18"W x 8-1/2"H x 9"D. $4,200.00. (1750113)

Grebe M-1 (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Here a super rare M-1 (Serial #1) Grebe Gothic cathedral radio, made by one of the finest of factories of the day. This was the very best radio money could buy. It is a very large and beautiful from front to back & including very clean chassis. Very dramatic design; the whole front panel is sculptured repwood and in wonderful condition. Check out the double waterfall top. Even the bottom wood trim extends around the back side. Grebe was one of the finest names in the early radio business & were high quality sets. This one has all original knobs, dial, grille cloth, speaker, etc. The original grille cloth shows a little wear, but my preference was to leave original (can replace to era correct on request). These radios were very expensive in the Depression years and only the wealthiest could afford such a radio. The chassis has been completely restored, replacing all caps, resistors, & weak tubes, to a factory specs & now plays perfectly. The radio is an extremely sophisticated receiver working on a pair of push/pull #45 triode tubes. High end radio for the high end collector. 20-1/4"H x 18-1/4"W x 12"D. $1,250.00. (1640276)

-
Grunow 470 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio) After Grunow merged with US Radio and Television to form General Household Utilities Corporation in 1933, they still sold radios under the Grunow name. This smallish Grunow 470 tombstone, while only a four-tuber, surprised me by having a massive 8-inch speaker crammed into it. Consequently, the sound is the best of any four-tube radio I have ever restored. The cabinet has a bit of grain still showing on the sides, but otherwise a very nice finish. A previous servicer replaced the On/Off switch with an On/Off/Tone control, which works well, so I left it. It has the early 30s antenna volume control so you have to crank the volume for weak stations. Reception from the meticulously restored chassis is good for a four-tuber. Noteworthy is the interesting practice of mounting the rectifier on top of the power transformer, the logic of which is lost on me. I had to make a replacement for the missing tuning knob. All in all, if you want great sound at a great price, this should be what you are looking for. Requires an external antenna. 14"H x 12"W x 7"D. $250.00. (1680126)
-
Grunow 550 "Chromefront" (1934) (Wood tube table radio) Starting in 1928 in Chicago, Grigsby-Grunow produced the famous and high performing Majestic brand radios. They hired the brightest engineering talent available and became one of the most prolific radio and tube manufacturing companies of the time. In spite of the depression in 1929, Majestic radios were very successful and were even distributed in Europe and Africa. By 1931, Mr. Grunow started General Household Utilities Co. and produced radios under the Grunow name. The 550 is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. The chassis was completely rebuilt using modern capacitors. All of the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord and antenna lead were installed. An external audio cable is not available for this AC/DC set. Most of the finish is original (restored) except that Gary did redo the top. The original knobs and speaker are with the radio. A reproduction of the original cloth was installed. The chrome is in perfect condition, and the radio performs perfectly! This seldom seen early Grunow is ready to grace your collection... make it yours! 12"W x 8"H x 5-1/2"D. $699.00. (1600389)
-
Grunow 588 (1937) (Wood tube table radio) This "teledial" model from 1937 has a restored five-tube chassis and refinished cabinet. All wax and electrolytic capacitors were replaced, resistors and tubes checked and alignment peaked. Period correct toners and a semi gloss lacquer were used to restore the cabinet. Plays great on both AM and short wave bands but does need a long wire antenna for reception. 14"W x 9"H x 8"D. $375.00. (1550161)
-
Grunow 750 "World Cruiser" (1935) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) We have mentioned the bankruptcy and split up in 1932 of Grigsby-Grunow based in Chicago. By the time the model 750 came out, they had recaptured the market with quality radios and exquisite cabinetry. The 750 was Grunow's top-of-the-line table radio in 1935. This large seven-tube, four-band (SB,SWx2,police) beauty sported twin gangs on the AM tuner for greater sensitivity and lots of volume through the original 8-inch Grunow speaker. Their cabinet work played second fiddle to no one, and the 750 is no exception. All of the capacitors were replaced. The resistors and tubes checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, power cord and external audio cable were added. Gary stripped the cabinet and refinished it using the best grain fillers, toners and finished with a "piano" lacquer finish. Notice the book matched Walnut in the front with contrasting colors. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are included. This stunning radio will grace any collection, and it can be yours in a matter of days! 20"H x 16-1/4"W x 12"D.Was $895.00, now $799.00. (1600508)

Herofon Petite AM-FM (1958) (Wood tube table radio w/FM) Ove Hede Nielsen began making radios in 1928 in a corner of his father's bicycle making plant. Annual productions of Herofon radios reached 10,000 units in 1939. In 1955, the Herofon name was changed to Arena and began simultaneously producing TVs. By 1960, Arena was the largest Danish producer of radios. Into the 1960s, Arena's development department created the component system, which led to faster repairs and the production of turntables and speakers. Arena's fortunes turned downward in 1970 when they suffered a devastating plant fire, the second of three, in the Hede Nielsen Factory's history. 12,000 radios, 4000 TVs, 20,000 speakers, and 1,000 turntables were lost in the blaze. Subsequently, Arena was sold to Rank Bush Murphy, from England, their business deteriorated, and employees ran the business with no success. In 1975, Scandinavia's most modern radio and TV factory closed, forever. Our model has four tubes, AM and two SW bands, one speaker, and a beautiful teak wood case. It plays well. Our restorer added one power transformer to aid in the 220VAC conversion, and replaced one UABC80 NOS tube, one UL84 NOS tube, one UF89 NOS tube, and one UCH81 NOS tube. $800.00. (1300082)

-
Howard 5G-T TRF (1932) (Wood tube tombstone radio) This is a tuned radio frequency radio from 1932. The design uses technology popular before the superheterodyne radio was invented. So, it is definitely a page out of radio history, and unlike other TRF radios shaped like a coffin it uses only one tuning knob to operate. I also installed a small audio input jack on the back. The radio is a true example of radio history. $250.00. (1410043)
-
Howard 268-T (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Big black, multi-colored dial with lovely emerald green tuning eye... Chicago's Howard Company produced some beautiful radios in the "Golden Age" and here is a seldom seen one. I believe this to be the 1st time offered on Attic! Beautiful step-down front, waterfall cabinet with beautiful book-matching across the top. They also manufactured radios for Capehart, Sears and Hallicrafters, & possibly others. The cabinet has been refinished by previous owner & a rather nice job. The electronics have been completely restored and it plays very nicely on the AM broadcast and shortwave band, seven-tuber. Rust free chassis with three factory stickers in place. All four wood knobs are in excellent condition and tone control, band switch, tuning, and on/off & volume all work as they should.

Howard 275 (1937) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Howard Radio Co., Chicago, IL only made a limited number of collectible radios and this is one of them. Howard also manufactured radios for Capehart, Sears and Hallicrafters, some of the high end radios of the day. This tombstone with the green tuning in the dial scale looks great at night and for a six-tube set, it really has a great sound and is very sensitive, picking up many stations. It has AM and two SW bands. The chassis had some surface rust and was stripped and repainted with Rustoleum hammered gold. The controls were cleaned and lubricated and the tuning capacitor was cleaned and lubed and the mounting grommets were replaced. All tubes were tested on my Hickok 600A and weak or defective tubes were replaced. All electrolytic and wax paper capacitors were replaced and any resistors out of tolerance were replaced. The cabinet was tight and the finish in excellent condition, so I just shot it with a few coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. 15-1/2"H x 13-1/4"W x 9"D. $375.00. (1610011)

Howard 375 (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1923, the Howard Radio Company of Chicago IL, started producing broadcast receivers. They were known for their amateur and military short wave radios. They received a contract from the U.S. Army for communication radios during WWII. They had a license from RCA and made components for Capehart, Silvertone and others. The model 375 is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. All of the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. The tuning eye tube is bright and active. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse and and an input cable for iPhone, Bluetooth etc. Gary did a great job on the Walnut cabinet. He stripped off the old finish and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, speaker and chassis are original. We installed a new reproduction grille cloth. Howard didn't produce large numbers of their radios, so finding one like this doesn't happen very often. If you're looking for a different brand for your collection, this radio would be perfect! 19-1/2"W x 11-1/2"H x 10"D.Was $649.00, now $599.00. (1600488)

The cabinet has been refinished using the very finest toning and finishing lacquers, producing a gorgeous luster.

Imperial Boy*s Radio (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Radio works okay but it's just got two transistors.

Jackson-Bell 60 "Sunburst" (1930) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Here is a seldom seen West Coast, seven-tube TRF set that works well with a long wire antenna...the longer, the better which is usually the case on radios this old (93 years). I currently have approx. 10-ft (will include) and have been listening to it for an hour or so. It is an older restore, having been in my collection for 8-10 years. The cabinet is solid and was refinished when I first got it as were the electronics. The only anomaly I noticed is with the volume & tone controls are both a little sensitive or "touchy," but with a little toggling they both work good for good reception. This is called "Sunburst" for obvious reasons. This beauty has original Lansing speaker & also knobs & factory wooden back. Take note of the Jackson Bell Corp. guarantee still intact on the back (have never seen that before...neat). Also factory sticker on that very clean chassis. Jackson-Bell was a family owned business & rather interesting story whether you like the radios or not. It started in 1926 but ceased in 1935. It is written that Jackson-Bell was a marketing company and the maker was Gilfillan Brothers Radio Works, Los Angeles. 16"H x 14"W x 10"D. $429.00. (1640288)
-
Jackson-Bell 62 "Fleur-de-Lis" (1932) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) Jackson Bell started radio production in Los Angeles, CA in 1926. Herb Bell began the business with his brother Elmer. Gilfillan made the chassis and Elmer made the cabinets. At one time or another, the whole family was involved in the business, including their father Anton. In 1929, Herb became partners with Mr. Jackson, and the company ceased operations in 1933. The model 62 is a six-tube, AM only radio. The radio had been restored by the previous owner, and Blake checked it out making sure it met our standards. A period-correct cloth power cord was installed. An audio cable is not available for this radio. Gary stripped the walnut cabinet. He finished the radio with a satin finish. The radio is gorgeous and has the original knobs and grille cloth. Also present is the often-missing "velvet tone" label located on the lower front of the radio. I think this tag is found only on the Fleur-de-Lis model. Other designs are the Swan, Tulip, Sunburst, Peacock, and the iconic Peter pan. If you are looking for a Fleur-de-Lis for your collection, it would be difficult to find one better than this one. 15"H x 13"W x 8-1/2"D.Was $549.00, now $499.00. (1600303)

Jackson Bell 63 "Swan" (1930) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This seldom seen model dates from about 1930 and extremely rare find.

There are minor flaws in the grille cloth and finish. As you can see it still displays very well. The chassis and speaker are as well preserved as the cabinet. It has been serviced and plays well. This was in my personal collection for nearly 30 years. 15-1/2"H x 11-1/2"W x 8"D. $699.00. (0260831)

Kennedy 63-A (1931) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Here is one of the nicest original & seldom offered for sale cathedrals that I have had in quite some time. Kennedy from South Bend, Indiana was known as the best of the best in 1920s and 30s. In fact, they called themselves "The Royalty Of Radio." They were expensive, not produced in large numbers and today examples rarely appear for sale; this particular cathedral radio is not listed in most of the popular guides and the few price results that could be found. They made very fine radios, and this one is no exception. The radio is simply stunning with a classic veneered front & beautiful grille cut-outs & factory toning that really sets it off. Classic fluted half-columns topped with finials & nice "Kennedy" escutcheon. The grille cloth is era correct replacement. This is a keeper, crafted and finished with a degree of quality and attention to detail that is evident on all Kennedy sets. It was electronically restored by previous owner including a wonderful reproduction silk power cord & Bakelite plug & picks up loud & clear across the dial with short antenna supplied. The shipping weight will be 20 pounds. 16-1/4"H x 14"W x 9"D. $425.00. (1640266)

-
Lifelong Turntable Radio (Plastic replica radio w/FM) Here's a fun item: an AM/FM transistor radio that's a perfect miniature replica of a turntable. The tone arm lift is the on/off and band selector, the turntable itself is the tuner (controlled by the switch on the front left) and most interestingly, the tone arm position is used to control the volume. Physically it's in absolutely pristine condition, having never been used and probably never taken out of its box until I photographed it. I tested it with four "AA" batteries (not included) and it works, but the controls are dusty from long storage and a new set of electrolytic caps might be called for just to be sure if you actually want to run it. It's being sold in "as-is" condition for display. A fascinating little conversation piece or fun gift for the novelty radio collector or turntable enthusiast. Roughly 6"W x 5D" x 2"H. This will be well-packed and inexpensive to ship. $19.00. (1560061)

I took a quick look at it, pulled the chassis and restored it before noticing a small crack in the case. Too late now. I repaired the crack as best I could. It doesn't look as bad as it does in the picture. The radio is a very good performer on the internal antenna, with a clip for an external if you want more distance. The sound is pretty good from the perfect 4-inch speaker. Fully restored and aligned, with a full set of high testing tubes. I've seen these sell for as much as $250. That little crack will save you a bunch of money! The Majestic logo on the back says "Mighty Monarch Of The Air." How can you resist that? Broadcast only. 12"W x 8"H x 7"D. $159.00. (1680111)

Majestic 5A410 "Black Zephyr" (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is another gorgeous, all-original set you'll rarely find in this black (not painted) cabinet, let alone one in this mint condition.

The speaker is not in the front but on the side of this set. This radio has been electronically restored and plays well across the AM band. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark. It retains its original back panel. Its black Bakelite cabinet is in immaculate condition with no cracks, hairlines or chips and has been hand-polished to a brilliant shine. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 11"W x 8"H x 7"D. $500.00. (1750120)

Majestic 461 "Master Six" (1933) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio) Grigsby-Grunow of Chicago, IL started to manufacture Majestic radios in 1927. As the depression hit, the company faltered. In 1933, and in an attempt to bolster sales and save the company, they produced a new line of stylish, Art Deco radios, the "Smart Sets." The attempt failed and the company declared bankruptcy later that year. The 461 is a six-tube, AM (police on the upper end of the band) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. the resistors and tubes were replaced where necessary. We installed a safety fuse, new cloth-covered power cord with the original plug, audio input cable and a new antenna lead. The radio is a strong performer with good sensitivity and volume. Gary completely stripped the Walnut cabinet. The set has beautiful book-matched veneer on the front, and he ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish.

Matheson-Bell AC-55-35 (Wood tube tombstone radio) Here's a sharp little number, one you're not likely to see again! This radio is so rare that I have found exactly zero documentation for it. The Matheson-Bell company made few radios in any case; an offshoot or new project from one of the people behind Ozarka, they were based in Chicago and only lasted for a few years. I purchased this radio from the original owner, who listened to it when he was a boy and made several attempts at modifying and fixing it, including adding the headphone jack you can see at the rear. It is being sold as-is, as a display piece rather than as a fully functional radio, though it does sort of play. I don't know if the grille cloth is original or a replacement. Power cord is original. It has a nice Deco look to it and will make a great shelf display. I hate to part with this, but I want to send it to someone who has the space to appreciate it. It's a compact little tombstone at 14-1/2"H x 11-1/2"W x 7-1/2"D. Like all of my radios, it will be extremely well-packed and protected for shipping. $195.00. (1560015)

Micro Bottle Radio "7" SOLD! (Plastic replica radio) Straight from the late 60s and the exploding Japanese miniature electronics market of that era comes this amusing little novelty set. It's a seven-transistor, one diode superhet packed into a small (less than 5" tall) replica whiskey bottle. The cap is the on switch and volume, the unmarked tuning wheel and speaker are on the back. This thing is brand-new, still in its original packaging, with no marks, flaws, scratches, or scuffs. Includes original earphone and instruction sheet (which even includes a schematic.) The batteries, which were also included, are missing, and that's probably for the best as they were two 2.6 volt mercury batteries. I have no idea what the modern equivalent is, but it's sold as "untested" and is great as a display. It comes packed in its original box, resembling a book in a slipcase, both of which are in pristine condition. An amusing little piece of history and conversation piece. Like all my stuff, this will be well-packed. It's light and small so shipping should be very reasonable. $39.00. (1560059)
-
Midge BR-760 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) A very rare radio in any condition. It works, very touchy and the tuning cap could use a lubrication or something as it's stiff. It has a little ~1/2" crack top right and a repaired chip bottom right that was done pretty well. Furthermore, there's a hairline on the front (right side of reverse paint) but because it's on the side it doesn't stand out. It looks to me that someone might have re-painted the grille at some time but I'm not positive. Despite the flaws, this is one really nice radio. $130.00. (1430769)
-

Mirror Tone 4F8 (1948) (Plastic tube table radio) Extremely Cool Midget, indeed! Here is truly "One of a Kind" due to the fact it was custom painted by Dan Sperry (customradios), the Custom Painter whose process is quite unique in that his artistic twists never disappoint nor do they ever look identical to any of his other pieces because they are all different. Here is a midget Mirror Tone he did for me a couple of years ago and the colors are dynamite as you can see. The main tones are a classic dark red/burgundy with swirled black accents. The bottom and wrap-around end are solid gloss black. It is clear coated in a premium automotive clear and buffed to a mirror like shine. The grille area is tastefully accented by silver & black swirl. Very eye catching. This tiny four-tuber has also been restored electronically and plays well picking up all my locals. I’ll let the pictures do the talking. More pics on request, but it is simply flawless IMHO. Small at 7"W x 5"H x 5"D. $375.00. (1640245)

Out of the Air (Book) By Mary Margaret McBride. Autobiography by the woman who basically invented modern interview journalism on her long-running radio shows. Sitting down with your subject for a conversation might seem commonplace in this age of NPR-style interviewing, but McBride was rocking the boat in an age where the reporter used to stand back with a notebook or a microphone and pepper the subject with questions. In her career, she interviewed everyone from senators to farmhands, nutty inventors to Elizabeth Taylor, in a quiet and welcoming manner that allowed them to tell their whole stories. Now, you can read hers. Hardcover, 8.5 x 5.5, 384 pages, photo section in center. Significant shelf wear and rubbing to dust jacket, book itself is in good shape, solid and complete. $10.00.

Over the Top One-Off Antique Radio Receiver (Wood tube casket radio) This is the most professionally made and most over-the-top one-off antique radio receiver I have ever seen! A whopping 37" long! It's just mind blowing and clearly the product of an extraordinary builder! I have not tested it, don't know where to begin with this one. A note inside reads, "National Champion Home Made Class Lake Placid 1982." May have been an AWA meet? When I opened the back I noticed two wires not connected. The construction quality is professional. The condition is excellent though there is a crack in the front panel but it does not stand out. Too big to ship safely. Needs to be picked up. Located near Spartanburg, SC. One of a kind! $750.00. (1160068)

Ozarka Senior S-1 (1924) (Wood tube table radio) This a rare Ozarka Senior S-1 (1924). Ozarka radios are rarely seen and are highly collectable. They represent a neat part of radio history. Here's how Ozarka got started. J.Matheson Bell, Vice President of Montgomery Ward, left in 1922 to form Ozarka. He contracted Tri-City Radio Company to manufacture his sets and quickly set up a network of door-to-door salesman. It was a great opportunity for individuals to own their own business. Not something that was commonly found in the early 1920's. Bell published a weekly newsletter to motivate his sales team and to let them know about new products coming. He also suggested "new" sales techniques to sell more radios. The S-1 was one of their top-of-the-line radios offered by Ozarka. One of great features is the "pop-up" battery storage under the set. This radio sold for $125.00 in 1924 which would cost approximately $1,700 today. It's in very nice original condition. I received it without the tubes, it is complete and original otherwise. Don't miss the opportunity to own this piece of radio history. 22"W x 14"H x 12"D. $295.00. (0150282)

Philco 45C "Butterfly" (1934) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1906, Philco started out as the Philadelphia Storage Battery Company making batteries for cars and trucks. The Philco name didn't appear until 1919, and they didn't produce their first radio until 1928. After aggressive advertising and product development, Philco became the third largest company, selling 400,000 radios by 1929. The 45C is a six-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio. There were two "Butterfly" radios, the other is the 28C, and two console models utilizing the same chassis. The capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse and power cord were added, and we installed an input cable for iPad, Bluetooth etc. The radio performs well with good sensitivity across the dial. Gary completely refinished the radio, which was a daunting task. Several areas had to be masked off and done very carefully. The black on the sides and top was very difficult and required hand-finishing to get that great luster. The knobs, chassis and speaker are original and a reproduction back from FYLP was installed. This is a nicely restored, great playing Butterfly, and it won't be around for long! 19"W x 9-1/2"H x 8"D.Was $995.00, now $899.00. (1600463)

Philco 80 "JR" Mini Cathedral (1932-1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) Money was tight in the early 30s, and a lot of poor performing four-tube radios were produced to address that issue. The "JR" was Philco's entry into this market, but they pulled a trick out of their hat by adding regeneration to the IF stage, giving it the gain of a five-tube receiver at a four-tube price. The cabinet is in very nice condition with only a few minor specs and dings. I gave it an extremely slick finish with 14 coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. There was some staining in the front veneer, but I was afraid to keep sanding. Not quite as bad as the camera makes it seem. The Photo Booth made the sides a little lighter than they actually are, and are closer in tint to the top photo. I had to paint the chassis. A full set of good tubes. All of the Philco capacitors were stuffed with new ones to maintain originality. Resistors replaced as necessary and a full alignment. The speaker is perfect and the sound is decent. The receiver sensitivity is better than most four-tube radios. Taken all together it is a pretty darn nice little radio, and not one you see every day. 14"H x 12"W x 8-1/2"D. $349.00. (1680076)

Philco 90 (1931) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) Again we have the classic Philco 90 designed by Edward Combs. These radios are large and heavy to today's standards. Despite that the Philco 90 was referred to as a "midget" radio, much smaller and offered a much more attractive design. In the 1920s and early 30's the only radios available were the "coffin" style and large, heavy consoles. The model 90 also used the new, better performing superheterodyne technology which was eventually used by all radio manufacturers. The model 90 is a nine-tube, AM only set. We went through the radio replacing all of the capacitors. Checked all of the tubes and resistors, replacing where necessary. We installed a new cloth power cord, a safety fuse, new antenna lead and an external audio input that produces plenty of volume. This radio was aligned, and has wonderful tone and volume with great sensitivity across the dial. Gary refinished with a gorgeous semi-gloss with a nice original cabinet that has great veneer. Perfectly understated for this elegant radio. The radio retains its original grille cloth, speaker and knobs. It's an awesome radio, beautifully restored and ready to compliment your collection. 18-1/2"H x 17-1/2"W x 12"D.Was $995.00, now $899.00. (1600473)

Radio Boys Book: At Mountain Pass (Book) -or- The Midnight Call for Assistance. This 1922 book is the fourth in a series of Radio Boys books by Allen Chapman. Its 218 pages portray an enthusiasm of clean wholesomeness of a bygone era. From the Foreword written by Jack Binns of the New York Tribune: "Although the radio boys in this case are but creatures of the author's imagination, nonetheless they are typical of all the men who have taken part in bringing radio to its present stage. Even Marconi himself likes to take pride in the assertion that he too was at one time an amateur, because he insists that during his early experiments he was only a boy amateur tinkering with the little known subject. There is undoubtedly a great deal of truth in his claim, because the experiments that led to his success were made while he was a youth studying at the Bologna University in Italy." For 100 years of age, the wear on this book reflects on it to be in very good condition. There is minimal staining on the faded blue cloth cover. All pages are present and complete, and have not been dog eared. $40.00. (1720120)

With this thought in mind, I think that the present volume, detailing the adventures of the Radio Boys, serves a very useful purpose in that it forcibly portrays the use of wireless to bring aid to a disabled ship on the high seas in a storm. The blue cloth cover is faded with minimal wear due to 100 years of reading enjoyment. All pages are present and complete and have not been dog eared reflecting how it has been valued. $40.00.

Among them was E.H. Armstrong." The blue cloth book cover shows fading wear from 100 years of reading enjoyment.

From the book's Forward by Jack Binns, the well-known radio expert of the New York Tribune, "It is very appropriate at this moment when radio has taken the country by storm, and aroused an enthusiasm never before equaled, that the possibilities for boys in this art should be brought out in the interesting and readable manner shown in the first book of the series..."

With most homes radio equipped this terror has lost much of its horror because radio broadcasting can now send out timely warning in time of emergency."

The boyhood of America more than any other nation has been absorbed with radio since Marconi first demonstrated its practical use."

From the book's Forward written by Jack Binns of the New York Tribune, "There are two aspects of radio as a vital factor of saving the life and property which are very vividly brought out in this interesting volume of the Radio Boys series - namely its use in connection with the patrol work in detecting forest fires, and the regular international ice patrol in the dangerous waters of the north Atlantic. So splendidly have these two functions of radio been developed, that they have become accepted as commonplace in our lives, and it is only by such stories as 'The Radio Boys with the Forest Rangers' that we are awakened to their importance." This book has been enjoyed by owners from Massachusetts to Oregon. The values they held of the book are reflected in that the pages have not been dog eared and are all present and complete.

RCA 1X (1940) SOLD! (Plastic tube table radio) This five-tube "little nipper" has the best of both worlds. Sleek, Art Deco inspired waterfall grille cabinet with a bold (and beautiful) gold foil dial face featuring the iconic RCA logo, coupled with a compact cabinet that could easily fit on a book shelf. This example features a very nice all original natural finish cabinet with a nice marble swirl pattern. Only one very small superficial hairline underneath barely worth noting that is still structurally sound and doesn't detract. The chassis has a good, tested set of tubes, it has been recapped, and the controls cleaned/lubricated, so it plays loud and strong across the dial with its built-in loop antenna. A new back cover completes the restoration. 10"W x 7"H x 6"D. $129.00. (1790227)

RCA 5T (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) In 1921, David Sarnoff started RCA as General Manager, and remained until 1970. By 1926, they already controlled the commercial radio industry, buying radio stations, and then formed NBC. Eventually, NBC was broken up into the other networks, ABC and CBS. More on RCA in upcoming ads. The 5T is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a polarized power cord, antenna lead, external audio cable (Bluetooth, iPhone, iPad) and a safety fuse. RCA made great sets, and this radio plays strong and picks up plenty of stations across the dial. Gary stripped the Walnut and Maple veneered cabinet. Using high-quality products and craftsmanship, he ended up with a "piano" lacquer finish. This radio has the original knobs, chassis, copper bezel, dial scale and 8-inch speaker. A new dial cover was installed along with a period-correct reproduction grille cloth. This gorgeous example of an RCA 5T would look perfect in your collection! 16"H x 13"W x 9"D. $579.00. (1600459)

RCA 9TX-3 "Little Nipper" (1939) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio) Even with a stranglehold on the radio industry holding all the patents for superheterodyne technology, RCA themselves manufactured pretty good radios. Slowly some companies were able to pay RCA for the right to build super-hets, and eventually the patent ran out and opened the door for many small companies to do the same. The 9TX-3 is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where necessary. The radio is a good performer across the dial. Gary stripped the old finish off, and ended up with a beautiful "piano" finish on the Walnut cabinet. The original knobs are made of "Beetle" plastic, Catalin and Bakelite. This very unique RCA radio is ready for your collection and is priced right! 9"W x 5"H x 4"D.Was $549.00, now $499.00. (1600398)

RCA 9TX (1939) ON SALE! (Catalin tube table radio) In 1939 RCA created the "Little Nipper II," a small sleek and streamlined model. The styling of this radio is not only beautiful, but extremely Deco. Its petite clean look makes it stand out in Catalin radios.

The chassis has a pilot light that shines through the original Plaskon dial. The dial has white numbers with a barely detectable repaired crack. The original factory red Plaskon volume knob matches the dial. The tight fit of the chassis created a tube burn on the radio's right side as shown in the photo. This radio's side displays its desirable brown marbling. 8-1/2"W x 5-1/4"H x 4"D.Was $1,200.00, now $900.00. (1720124)

RCA 16T4 (1940) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Although general manager David Sarnoff made RCA one of the largest companies in the world, he ran the company with an iron fist. He held the patents for new radio technology and didn't share them. Many small companies couldn't afford to pay the royalties to utilize the technologies. Despite his business techniques, the company pioneered radio and television broadcasting for the world. Their products were top-notch. The 16T4 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. With five-button electronic tuning, dual tone control for radio and phono input, and a new dual circuit loop antenna, this was one performing radio! We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A safety fuse and new power cord were installed. The radio has a factory phono input that works great with Bluetooth etc. A new addition to Joe's Radio Shop is Steve Tucker, who specializes in cabinet refinishing.

A unique RCA to add to you collection and is priced right! 19"W x 10"H x 8-1/2"D.Was $549.00, now $499.00. (1600405)

RCA 45EY-26 "Alice in Wonderland" 45rpm Phonograph (1951) (Plastic phonograph) Anyone that grew up in the fifties remembers these little little 45 record players/changers when 45 records were all the rave.

I went through it and replaced weak tubes, filters and caps, lubed and cleaned controls, and aligned it as well. It plays out fine.

-
RCA 86T-2 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) At first glance, one might tend to write off this very nice RCA 86T-2 as "plain Jane" or "ordinary" but it is nothing of the sort. It is a fairly large table radio, and RCA didn't waste the space, fitting it with a very well designed six-tube chassis, installed in an attractive waterfall cabinet with contrasting veneers and the signature silver pin stripes. The huge, quite accurate sunburst dial is very brightly and evenly illuminated. It includes a nice band select dial window and a vernier dial for more accurate station location. The larger than average 6-1/2" perfect speaker produces nothing short of outstanding sound, on par with some consoles I have worked on. My usual thorough restoration, including replacing the rubber wiring, produced a very good performing chassis on broadcast and short wave. A full set of high testing tubes top off the restoration for long service life. The finish is slick and gorgeous, with a few minor chips and dings, and a veneer repair on the lower right side where I did not succeed in matching the grain. There is a small, barely noticeable crack in the escutcheon above the tuning knob. Taken all together, this is a very nice radio from one of the best and largest radio companies. If good sound is important to you, you will find it here. Requires an external antenna. 17"W x 11-1/2"H x 9-1/2"D. $379.00. (1680140)

RCA 128 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) RCA designed and manufactured some great radios in the 1930's. Even though RCA had a stranglehold on the industry, controlling patents for TRF and Superheterodyne radios, a few companies were given permission to utilize the patents, most notably the Gilfillan Brothers in Los Angeles. A few other companies were allowed to use the patents, but they had to meet some strict standards and manufacture their radios in the Gilfillan factory. This six-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) with its new "magic brain" circuitry, which was basically tuned RF with VCA, and a gorgeous cabinet design was a great seller for RCA. This radio has a ton of volume and a tone control with wonderful fidelity through an 8-inch speaker. We went in and replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked, replacing where necessary. A safety fuse was added along with an external audio input jack and a new power cord. The jack has a switch which allows you to close the radio tuning functions, or access the audio input jack. Gary did a complete restoration on the cabinet.

RCA T10-1 (1936) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Despite the stranglehold RCA held over the radio industry having ownership of the Superheterodyne patents, the company did manufacture impressive radios. The T10-1 was the top of the line for 1936, and one of the big selling points was the use of the "revolutionary" new metal tubes. "The sign of an up-to-date radio!" Touted as being quieter...they didn't require shielding. The T10-1 is a ten-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. 11-plus watts of push-pull power through an 8-inch speaker, an strong performing set! We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed.

Silvertone 57D 1705 (1933) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Collectors speculate this radio celebrated the Empire State Building (notice the grille bar design) and was a smaller companion to the Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress radio. In my opinion this radio signifies the unique style and elegance only found in Depression Era radios. The cabinet on this fairly rare radio is in stunning original condition. The gorgeous grille cloth is intact along with the impossible to find original Silvertone knobs and wooden backing. Even remnants of a 1933 National Recovery Act sticker can be seen on the back of this set! A prior owner performed an electronic restoration, including a new power cord for safety. It's a good player on AM but not a great performer since it's an early Superhet. I was unable to tune much on the Shortwave band but that's not surprising for such a small set. The diminutive dial lens is bit distorted from natural aging (see photo). Despite its small size, there's a lot of heft to this set. This radio weighs 19 pounds; 10"H x 13-1/2"W x 7-1/4"D. $200.00.

Silvertone 1954 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) One of the first radios I bought and restored was a Silvertone model 1954. During this time period, Colonial was manufacturing a lot of the Silvertone models and there were various cabinet makers used as well. These good looking, Art Deco tombstones were great performers and featured one of the first "airplane" motif dials. The 1954 is a six-tube, two-band (AM,SW) AC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We added a new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead and an audio input cable for iPhones, Bluetooth etc. An interesting feature is the "airplane" dial turns from green to red when the radio is powered up. Gary stripped the walnut cabinet with his usual mastery, and after sanding and painting came out with a gorgeous catalyzed lacquer finish. The original wooden knobs, chassis, speaker and dial are with the set. Once again, this restored model 1954 is "collection ready" and performs well. 16-1/4"H x 11-3/4"W x 10"D. $679.00. (1600491)

It was probably made by Spica and the battery holder is too short like the Spica. I didn't try to shove batteries in there, using my bench power supply to keep this radio pristine. So, if you're looking for a rare radio in amazing physical shape with no cracks or chips or dents or even hairlines that needs a little work, this is a good one. $80.00. (2430277)

Selling untested, as-is. I don't see any obvious reason this set will not work as it appears to have spent its life in the box. Clean inside. $110.00. (1240069)

Steepletone NR-625 SOLD! (Plastic transistor table radio w/FM) Most modern transistor radios that try to replicate the look and feel of tube radios fail miserably... but here's a cute little faux-old radio that actually looks pretty good... and performs as well. Built for the European market, It receives AM and FM and runs on either four "AA" batteries (not included) or a 6V DC wall wart (also not included). It plays well and sounds decent. Compact at 6"W x 5"H x 4"D, it will fit nearly anywhere and would make a great bench set or a "first radio" for a kid or grandkid who might be getting interested in the hobby. The faux burl plastic decal finish looks pretty nice and the whole thing is built a bit more solidly and heavier than you might expect. I cleaned all the controls for smooth operation. An interesting little fellow that wouldn't look out of place sitting on a shelf next to actual tube radios. $39.00. (1560062)

Stewart-Warner 9003B (1947?) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) For knock down, drag out, eye popping curb appeal, it will be hard to beat this very rare Stewart Warner 9003B table radio. The large cabinet is extremely well made and complex in its design. The chassis is well designed and is a good performer on broadcast and both short wave bands. The internal antenna works quite well for local stations. The dial glass was an expensive reproduction. The original speaker was missing, and I had to replace it with a permanent magnet speaker, which has been reconed and is perfect. The sound is very good. New grille cloth pretty similar to the original. There are some tiny cracks in the left and right edges of the top, and a few other blemishes and veneer repairs in the otherwise very nice cabinet. Not piano finish by any means, but pretty well dressed with eight coats of lacquer. I have fabricated a mobile device cable to utilize the original Stewart Warner phonograph jack. None has ever sold on the Attic. I am very deep into this one expense wise, I hope someone will think the asking price is worth it. 20"W x 12-1/2"H x 10"D. $499.00. (1680084)

Stewart-Warner R-110AT (1933) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Stewart-Warner was founded in 1905 in Chicago, and by 1912 produced a speedometer that was used in the Ford Model T. As well as vehicle instruments, they manufactured radios and refrigerators among other products. Here is a radio you don't see very often. There were several different radios offered with the 110 series chassis. This one was designated R-110AT, the "T" stands for twin speakers. This ten-tube, three-band (SB, SWx2) radio had other features like a noise suppression circuit, AVC, and push-pull audio, all very innovative for 1933. Blake went through the chassis replacing all of the capacitors, checked all of the tubes and resistors, replacing where necessary. He added a new cord, safety fuse and a cable to use an external device. An alignment was done making this radio a strong performer across the dial. Gary stripped the Walnut and Mahogany cabinet. He used the highest quality paint and grain fillers, ending up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. All of the knobs are original, and Blake installed a new, period-correct grille cloth. 16"W x 13"H x 12"D.Was $799.00, now $699.00. (1600350)

Stewart-Warner R520 (Cloth/leather tube table radio) This caramel-colored leatherette radio features an easy-to-read, well-defined dial. It retains its original logo decal above its dial as well.

Stewart Warner R-1261 "York" (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) There are two kinds of nicknames for radios. A nickname that came from the designer, and those that came from collectors. There are several Stewart Warner models that have "factory" nicknames, such as the R-1281. But a "collector" nickname example is the Zenith Walton, named long after the radio was manufactured. The "York" is a seven-tube, four-band (AM,SWx3) radio. This set was top-of-the-line for Stewart-Warner in 1934 and a great performer utilizing an 8-inch speaker and an early "robot" dial. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. All of the resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse, new power cord, antenna lead and audio input were installed. Gary restored the original finish. Gary is one of the best in the business, and this radio exemplifies his talent! The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. A reproduction grille cloth was added. In addition, this radio receives Shortwave quite well.

Stewart-Warner R-1272 "Prado" (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Stewart-Warner started incorporating multiple types of veneers and ornate grilles on their mid-size tombstones a year or two before some of the other manufacturers. They already had a great reputation of producing quality electronics, so this was another feather in their cap!

Stromberg-Carlson 1110 (1946) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Stromberg-Carlson got their start making some of the earlier telephone switching equipment. Their equipment was famous for reliability, and when they moved to New York and branched out into radio, they carried that commitment into the new business.

Six preset buttons can be used on either BC or SW, not a common feature. The cabinet is covered with attractive veneers and 15 coats of lacquer for a nice slick finish.

Vogue Radio (Bakelite tube table radio) Despite my best efforts, the model number of this streamlined beauty remains a mystery, since it has no tags, stamping, or other marks anywhere. Vogue was a brand made by Sheridan Electronics Corp. of Chicago. It's the ever-reliable AA5 chassis enclosed in a very pretty curvy case also utilized by Lafayette and perhaps a few others. The gold-stamped dial really makes this one stand out. The case is shiny and nicely marbled. It has only one flaw, a small chunk out of the back bottom that you can see in the photo of the back on the left side, which is of course undetectable unless you pick it up and look for it (the lines on the side photos are just the gap between my front steps reflected on the shiny Bakelite.) The loop antenna is probably not the original one, and the best way I found to mount it was upside-down (it does its job just fine.) The chassis has been re-capped, checked, lubed and aligned. I've never seen one of these before and might not ever again, so grab it while you can! $185.00. (1560064)

Vornado 7YR-17 (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Here is a nice looking Vornado model 7YR-17 seven-transistor radio made in Japan in the early 1960s.

Wells-Gardner 7J (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here is a 1934 Wells-Gardner 7J series that I have never seen before, much less laid my hands on. So ornate and different. Restored completely in/out. Wells-Gardner & Co., Chicago: Trade names: Arcadia, Blackhawk, Fearnola, Fideltone, Granada, Great Northern, Gulbransen, Hudson, Lexington, Skelco, Sky Rover, Solar, Star, Supertone, True Value, Truetone, Universal, Wells-Gardner, Whelco. Wells-Gardner was acquired by Gulbransen in 1930 but the name was kept as a division of Gulbransen. The chassis or whole sets from Wells-Gardner or Gulbransen were also sold to catalog distributors like Lafayette, for instance chassis C or DG from 1929/30 for Duo-Symphonic. Very detailed & uncommon dial & escutcheons. Within the main dial are two additional second-hand dials (one for On/Off/volume & other is for Tone Control). The grille cloth is era correct & really is a nice add. The shadow meter works, but not as well as I'd like, but rather useless anyway & adds little to functionality. Plays very well with clarity & sensitivity. Eye catcher that's ready for play/display. Clearly the radio is in a unique shape and a relatively large cabinet offering a big sound quality. Wells supplied the chassis which is a super sophisticated seven-tube super-het offering both AM and shortwave. I have never had this model in the years of my collection/restoration hobby and doubt you will see another. 16-1/2"H x 15"W x 12"D. $549.00. (1640293)

Weltron 2001 Space Helmet (1971) (Plastic other radio) Weltron cashed in on the Apollo craze with this unique and very well made model 2001 space helmet radio. AM/FM/8-track. AC, 12V lighter plug or eight "C" cells. Everything works except the external speaker jacks (Exact same plug as the 12v cable. You do the math). AM/FM reception is quite good and the sound isn't bad from the perfect 4-inch speakers. End segment missing from the antenna, but it is still too long. I threaded a screw into it so you can extend it normally. Balance slider a bit sticky in spite of my best efforts. A lot of tiny scratches in the front I couldn't polish out, but not too noticeable when viewed straight on. A repaired crack in the top (see photo). This came from a very dear friend 40 years ago, so hurts to sell. I hope someone will give it a good home. Reflection from my shirt in the front photo. After four tries, I gave up. Tapes available for a small fee, not guaranteed. Ask if interested. About 12-1/2"W x 12-1/2"H x 10-1/2"D. $299.00. (1680130)

Westinghouse H-127 (1945) (Bakelite tube table radio) This Westinghouse "refrigerator radio" in original burgundy/brown Bakelite & excellent condition. This is not repainted. The "W" logo glows and dial lights when on. Originally it was called the "Little Jewel" by the manufacturer. It was dubbed its current nickname by collectors because it does have the appearance of a 40/50's common household refrigerator. All original incl. knobs, grille cloth, handle, speaker, etc. A very unusual design unlike any other radio. Cosmetically, there are no cracks, chips, or hairline cracks (only one little “ping” on top right brass area). The metal pieces are also in very good condition. These sets were supposedly given away with purchases of Westinghouse refrigerators after World War II. This radio is playing very well, picking up all my local stations with volume. It has a built in loop antenna with a connection for an external one as well. This radio came in a variety of colors from the factory. The body is solid brass, and the end caps are Bakelite.

Westinghouse WR-100 "The Juke" (1935) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Here for your consideration is a rare Westinghouse WR-100 "Juke." Rep-wood front mini tombstone from 1935. This is probably one of the smallest tombstones ever made, but has a full size sound. It is in amazing like-new condition with very little wear in the ornate rep-wood front panel nor blemishes on rest of set. Notice the "Westinghouse" embossed in the rep-wood just above the lighted dial. It's in excellent clean condition. Not sure why its called "Juke" other than what designer had in mind? The radio is a five-tube super-het offering both AM and SW. This radio is a very decorative model, with an ornate rep-wood grille that covers most of the front of the radio & offers quite a contrast to walnut wood sides. All original grille cloth, knobs, dial, speaker, full factory wood back. etc. It is an older restore, but plays very well all across the dial picking up all my locals & beyond on a short antenna which also looks "factory." I have read this chassis is identical to the Emerson 5A as well as their model 108 wood & Plaskon. Not uncommon in that era to share. Won't take up much room nor should it be an expensive ship. I pack very well. 9 lbs; 10-1/2"H x 7-1/2"W x 5"D. $425.00. (1640280)

Wild Planet DJ AM Transmitter (Plastic other radio) This one is a bit of a departure for me, but I saw it on eBay and couldn't resist. The little guy is actually a pretty good AM transmitter! Built in DJ microphone, built in cassette player, and a 1/8" jack to plug in a CD player or mobile device.
Everything works on it and the sound was quite good on my Crosley Super 11. Turn your kids or grandkids loose with it to practice their DJ skills or just use it to broadcast to any of your AM radios from the music source of your choice. It comes from the factory set to 1610 kHz. For a $25 fee I can convert it to 1250 kHz. The bottom was missing the rubber feet, so is pretty scratched up. I put rubber feet on it. The battery door was missing. I made a clear plastic one for it. Range is about 30-50 feet depending what antenna you have on your radio. It's really a pretty cool little device, and I'd bet your kids or grandkids would have some fun with it. Or use it to broadcast to your radios from your mobile device or CD player. 9-1/2"W x 7"D x 3"H. Batteries included! $75.00. (1680133)

Tesla, more than any other innovator, is a strange case of a recent historical figure whose life and work have been obfuscated by speculation, rumor, and myth.

It was loved by the same family until I acquired it in 2008. In addition something you never see is the original wood back. The chassis was made by All-American Mohawk. The cabinets were made by Wurlitzer. The cabinet and finish are in excellent condition with no damage from top to bottom. The radio has not been serviced and retains the original braided cords. It still plays well picking up several stations with good volume and clear sound. Buyer may pick up or arrange shipping. $799.00. (0260813)

Zenith 4-B-422 (1939-40) ON SALE! (Bakelite tube table radio) A 1939-40 streamlined bullet shaped Zenith in a showroom shiny Bakelite case that is in beautiful condition for a radio over 80+ years old. This is one of the classic Zenith radios designed by Robert Davol Budlong, one of Zenith's great designers, and we all love the wonderful streamline bullet shape. The only problem with these models is that they were not produced or sold in an AC equipped version. They had wonderful classic styling but were only available as farm sets powered by battery. This was before rural electrification in America. But the good news is that this stylistic radio has been converted from only battery power to AC, so you are able to just plug it in and listen to your favorite AM stations. It's picking up and playing all my local stronger stations clearly without any problems. An extended length of antenna wire will help pull in stations and I have included some extra antenna wire to assist in reception. Other than a very small repair on one of the bottom screw holes completely out of sight, and a tiny flea bite on one of the ribs that's hard to see, there are no damages, no cracks, no chips, and no cosmetic issues. These Zenith farm battery sets were not equipped with dial lamps. It has a brand-new perfect Retro Tronics back on the case, and everything else is original. Most of these farm sets show a lot of wear and tear, but this one is in extremely nice condition. About 13"W x 7-1/2"H x 6"D.Was $229.00, now $198.00. (1150896)

Zenith 4-V-31 "Farm Radio" (1935) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio) In 1935, the use of battery-powered radios, known as "farm radios" was widespread. The REA (Rural Electrification Act) didn't come around until 1936, so many rural areas of the country were not connected to the power grid, with some areas not hooked up until 1950. This radio could be powered with a six volt battery found in the family car or truck. Zenith also sold the "Windcharger," a wind-powered generator to charge the batteries when they were not in use. The 4-V-31 is a four-tube, six-volt, AM only radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed new power leads for a six-volt source and an external audio cable for Bluetooth use. A new vibrator tube was installed and should keep this radio going for years to come. We are offering a six-volt power supply so the radio can be used as it was designed by simply hooking up the two marked power wires and plugging in the power supply. (see picture) Gary stripped this beautiful cabinet and ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs are with the set. This rare, fully functional six volt radio will certainly be a unique addition to your collection! 15-1/2"H x 13"W x 10"D.Was $699.00, now $649.00. (1600516)

Zenith 5-J-217 "Cube" (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) These highly collectable Zenith radios, referred to as a "Cube," were a huge success for Zenith. This iconic, good sounding, reliable radio created a huge following and are still desirable radios to this day, and this model is very rare amongst "Cubes." Zenith made several models of the "Cube" and this is the only AC/6 volt version I have ever seen. The 5-J-217 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) AC and six volt battery radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with new Mylar equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A safety fuse, antenna lead, power cord and audio input cable were installed. Gary stripped the original finish off of the Mahogany and walnut cabinet. He ended up with a beautiful lacquer "piano" finish. The radio has the original knobs, speaker and chassis. This rare model is very unique, and we offer the necessary cables should you want to use it in six volt capacity. We also have designed our own six volt power supply, so you can use this radio both ways at home. 14"W x 11"H x 10"D.Was $899.00, now $849.00. (1600509)

Zenith 5-S-119 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) I really like the big Zenith table radios, and this model is no exception. This five-tube, three-band (SB, SWx2) performs well across the big, black dial with plenty of volume. This was the largest five-tube radio Zenith made; I like the elaborate grille, burled walnut veneer with hardwood ends, and the maple inlay that runs over the top and through the dial... just a classy radio! I went through this radio replacing all capacitors, out-of-tolerance resistors, bad tubes, installed a safety fuse and input jack for your external devices. (Bluetooth, iPad, iPhone etc.). Gary did a nice refinish, adding the proper highlights around the bottom and sides. The radio retains its original "Z" knobs, chassis and Zenith speaker.. Collectors like this radio, and this particular model is getting hard to find. Here's a really nice one, all finished and ready for your collection. 20"W x 11"H x 9"D. $849.00. (1600523)

Zenith 5-S-218 (1937/1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Remember those little plastic hologram toys from Crackerjack boxes, where you would tilt them and get two different pictures? That is what the amazing highlights in the front and top grain on this gorgeous Zenith 5S218 look like. I removed the dark stains that masked this beautiful effect and gave it a very nice, slick finish. Original knobs and speaker cloth. My usual professional restoration on the well made and very good performing chassis. I installed a full set of high testing tubes for long service life. The original speaker was missing, so I had to replace it with a different brand. The sound is very good. A little barely noticeable water damage along the back edge of the right side. That said, the overall look and finish are fantastic, and will stand out in any collection. The 5S218 was a very popular model for Zenith, and is very popular with collectors today. If you don't have one, here is your chance to pick up one of the nicest examples of this radio you are likely to see. Requires an external antenna. 12"W x 10-1/2"H x 10"D. $599.00. (1680136)

Zenith 5-S-228 (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 5-S-228 came out in June of 1937 for the 1938 line. Some of the printed advertising showed the 228 along with a few "cube" models. The 228 was basically a mini-tombstone version of the "cube," utilizing the five-tube 5521 chassis which was used in a few cube models. Popular with collectors as it is a little harder to find this model due to lower production numbers. The 5-S-228 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input jack and antenna lead were installed. Gary stripped the cabinet and skillfully restored it to a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the radio. We installed a reproduction grille cloth. This radio performs well and has good sensitivity, picking up many stations across the dial. This is a very nice 5-S-228 and would be a great addition to anyone's collection! 13"H x 10"W x 9-1/2"D.Was $749.00, now $699.00. (1600469)

Zenith 5-S-319 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Certain radios really caught the eye of buyers then, and now. This very nice Zenith 5S319 is one of those radios. This was a very good seller for Zenith, and a lot of them have survived. The cabinet is ornate and attractive, fronted with the classic, racetrack shaped dial that gives the set its nickname. The chassis is very well designed and a very good performer on shortwave and Broadcast. The reception is almost exactly as good on "automatic" as on dial tuning, which is rare. I gave it a very nice, slick finish, and my usual meticulous chassis rebuild, replacing all the caps and resistors. Full alignment, and a set of high testing tubes for long service life. Unfortunately, I couldn't save the fake zebra wood strip. To be honest, I have always felt that it looked out of place on the cabinet anyhow. One small veneer repair on the top rear. Knobs and pushbuttons are reproductions. I replaced the dangerous 6X5 rectifier with a solid state one. I can put a real one in there, but if it shorts and blows your power transformer, I won't cover that under warranty. This radio is top shelf in every regard except for the missing photo finish strip, and will be a standout in any collection. Many of these have sold in the 750 to 800 dollar range on Radio attic. I'm pricing this one a little lower because of the missing photo finish. Barring that, if you buy this radio, you will be getting one of the nicest examples of this model you are likely to find. $699.00. (1680137)

Zenith 6-D-030 (1946) (Wood tube table radio) This is the famous Eames designed Zenith Radio. This AA6 radio is recapped and plays well across the band. This radio is unusual because it is a factory painted radio. I have not touched the cabinet, so it shows its nearly 80 year old finish and the price reflects that. $259.00. (1830027)
-
Zenith 6-D-030 (1946) (Wood tube table radio) The 6-D-030 was designed by Charles and Ray Eames. They created a low-cost process of "molding" plywood to create graceful angles and curves. They designed an award-winning chair that was on display in the Museum of Modern Art. For Zenith radio cabinets, they used existing Bakelite radios as molds, and the rest is history. This radio was designed to use available tubes after the war and uses a mix of tubes types. The 6-D-030 is a six-tube, AM only AC/DC set. The radio has been completely recapped. All of the resistors and tubes have been checked, and I replaced them where needed. The radio has been stripped and re-lacquered, new grille cloth and plastic dial cover have been added. The radio plays well across the dial with its builtin antenna. $389.00. (1830025)
-
Zenith 6-D-317 (1938/1939) (Wood tube table radio) Among the most unique and attractive table radios ever made you would have to count this Zenith 6D317 World's Fair Glass Rod table radio. Zenith made this for the 1938 San Francisco World's fair, and I don't think a great many of them have survived. My buddy John suggested I illuminate the glass rods in a red, white, and blue theme, so I did. I think it's really cool, but if you don't like it there is a switch on the back to turn them off. A very nice finish with 20 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. A few minor shortcomings from 90 years of service. My usual professional chassis restoration. Original knobs and buttons are a bit less than perfect, but very presentable. I had to make the back cover. This is a very unique and highly sought after radio, and not one you see every day. The lighted rods are amazing, and the performance is very good. I have a ton of work in it and I hope you will think it is worth the price. Requires an external antenna. 14"W x 8"H x 8"D. $1,099.00. (1680135)

Zenith 6-D-317 "World's Fair" Glass Rod Radio (Wood tube table radio) This is one of Zenith's most interesting sets, made specifically for the 1939 World's Fair.

Zenith 6-D-525 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) The Zenith 6D525 from 1941 is a six-tube AC/DC Superheterodyne radio with an untuned RF amplifier stage and Wavemagnet loop antenna. It only receives the AM Broadcast band. The cabinet is solid walnut, and affectionately known to some collectors as "The Toaster" due to the slots in the top and sides and its overall appearance. The case is an Ingraham creation, and this radio would be a fine addition to anyone's collection! $259.00. (1830021)
-
Zenith 6-D-612 (1942) (Plastic tube table radio) Styling was changing with movement towards a bold design. This beautiful example displays like new with one flaw as shown. I thought it was a hairline crack. Looking inside with bright light I could find no sign of a crack so I'm calling it a 1-1/2" scratch. Otherwise there is hardly a mark on it and retains a high gloss shine. It has a new reproduction back and dial cover. The chassis has been fully serviced and it plays great. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D. $279.00. (0260855)
-

-
Zenith 6-D-2620 "Boomerang" (1942) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Like all manufacturers, Zenith was scrambling a bit to produce products right before the war. Bakelite was not readily available, so the designers came up with wooden designs to use up an inventory of existing chassis. Zenith engineer Kurt Emde, who designed the "Robot Dial," came up with the "Dial-Speaker" design, which Zenith patented. This chassis was used in seven "Boomerang" models. The D-2620 is a six-tube, two-band (AM,SW), AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord and a safety fuse. The radio employs a "Wave Magnet" internal loop antenna and has good reception across the dial on both bands. Gary stripped the cabinet of straight-grained Walnut. He finished the radio with a beautiful lacquer "piano" finish. A new Mark Palmquist crystal-clear dial cover was installed. The radio has the original knobs, chassis and speaker. This is a perfect example of a 6-D-2620 that would grace any collection! 14"W x 9"H x 7"D. $599.00. (1600525)

Zenith 6-S-128 (1937) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Zenith tombstone radios from from 1936 and 1937 set a very high bar on tombstone design and innovative electronic features. Standing close to two feet tall and a foot and a half wide, they are the dominant feature in any room they are displayed in. Zenith tombstones and table radios had a lot of the same features as their high-end consoles. This six-tube, three-band (SB, SW, police) radio with its original 8-inch Zenith speaker is a high performing, quality radio in its own right. We went through the chassis replacing all of the capacitors, checking and replacing resistors and tubes where needed. A safety fuse, external audio cable, antenna lead and a new polarized power cord. Gary stripped the cabinet and did a total restoration using the proper toners and lacquers. The radio has a factory "piano" finish and it's a stunning beauty!

Zenith 6-S-321 "Stars & Stripes" (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here's a very nice, Pre-War, highly collectible large Gold dial Zenith with Art Deco flair. It is mostly original including the original faux burl finish. The top and surround of the burl appear to have been refinished at some point, but well done. It is known as The "Stars and Stripes" for obvious reasons. Note the raised embossed stars and stripes on the original brass escutcheon, which also maintains its original patina. This patriotic design was common amongst company's products just prior to the United States' entry into WWII. All knobs, pushbuttons, speaker, dial, etc. are original. The grille cloth has been replaced with correct Zenith cloth, housed in a cool wraparound grille. The dial is lit with two pilots and looks beautiful in low light conditions.

Zenith 6-S-527 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Gorgeous black dial pre-War Zenith. Their slogan "The quality goes in before the name goes on" certainly applies to this Zenith! The cabinet has been lovingly refinished, the very finest toning and finishing lacquers, producing a gorgeous luster, paying homage to the original detailed factory finish with its pinstriped bands of veneer and elaborate speaker grille. The set retains its original white "Z" knobs, push buttons, grille cloth and back cover. All the capacitors have been replaced with modern types, out of tolerance resistors replaced, tubes checked and replaced where needed and a new fused polarized power cord installed. Sounds very nice with its 4-inch speaker on the AM broadcast band using its internal antenna, pulling in all my local stations and shortwave (5.5-18.5 MC) is best using the external wire antenna, included. 15-1/2"W x 8-1/2"H x 7"D. $287.00. (1390426)
-
Zenith 6-S-528 (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Zenith cranked out a lot of radios with this basic chassis in them. For some reason, the smaller 6S527 is much more common. This one had a previous refinish job that was a little less than perfect, but I didn't want to strip it and lose the woodgrain pinstripes, so I doctored it up the best I could and put eight coats of lacquer over it. The result is a nice slick finish and a fairly good looking and good performing radio. The tint is a little darker at the bottom front, but not as bad as the camera made it look. The speaker has one patch by a previous servicer, but sounds very good. A full set of high testing tubes, all new caps, including stuffing the electrolytic, resistors as necessary and replaced most of the rubber wiring. After alignment, it receives Broadcast fairly well on the internal "wave magnet" antenna. There are screw terminals for shortwave and more distant stations. Remember the old Zenith slogan? "The quality goes in before the name goes on." 16"W x 8-3/4"H x 7-1/2"D. $349.00. (1680099)

Zenith 7-S-433 "Zephyr" (1940) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Zenith manufactured several models collectors call the "Zephyr," named after the Art Deco train car design from the 30's and early 40's. This table radio was the last "Zephyr" made by Zenith; it is rare and highly sought after by collectors. There were two different chassis for this radio and a few other models. I've seen a black dial, and also a gold dial on this and other models. This radio is a seven-tube, three-band (SB, SWx2) and has a "Wavemagnet" internal loop antenna that works well with this chassis. It has separate bass and treble boost switches, giving this radio great fidelity. We replaced all the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse, and an audio input cable for your external device. Gary stripped and refinished the walnut cabinet, applying several coats of lacquer for that deep "piano finish" look, just as they came from the factory. What a beautiful and unique radio for any collection, yet another popular Zenith model that is getting harder and harder to find. 14"W x 14"H x 11"D. $899.00. (1600506)

Zenith 9-S-324 (1939) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In 1939, Zenith offered a few models of very large table radios. The cabinet had the depth of a console radio, and some of the chassis were also used in console models. They offered a seven-tube and a nine-tube version. In 1940, they offered a twelve-tube set. There are a few other models of this very large, highly collectable radio. The 9-S-324 is nine-tube, three band (AM,SWx2) radio, and could be the rarest of this type of Zenith radio utilizing zenith's "robot" dial. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where necessary. A new safety fuse, power cord, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. Gary definitely "Marvinized" this cabinet. The stripping of the old finish and pristine lacquer finish are highlights of his work. The original knobs, chassis, 8-inch speaker and grille cloth are with the set. There just aren't many of these big Zeniths around as they just didn't make many. Here's one of the rarest models completely restored and "collection ready!" 24"W x 14"H x 13"D. $1,495.00. (1600485)

Zenith 10-S-130 (1937) SOLD! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The 10-S-130 was the top-of-the-line tombstone for the 1937 model year. Zenith's "big, black dial" was a huge success for them, and to this day they are still sought-after sets. The 1937 model line was known as "All Featured" because of the dozen features new to that year. A lot of new tuning aids and audio features along with new cabinet designs. The 10-S-130 is a ten-tube, four-band (SB,SWx2,Police) set with push-pull audio producing 12 watts of power. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, audio input cable and safety fuse were added. Gary Marvin is one of the best cabinet men in the country, and his artistry shows on this magnificent radio! He stripped the cabinet, and using the best grain fillers and toners, created a "factory fresh" look. He finished the radio with a few coats of lacquer, fine sanding and polishing to a gorgeous "piano" finish. The radio retains the original knobs, speaker and chassis. This is the third of three we have restored over the last few years. This huge Zenith beauty is rare indeed! 22"H x 17"W x 12"D. $2,495.00. (1600500)

Zenith 11E (1928) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio) BC. This stunning very early Zenith is basically a battery model with an external power supply added and AC tube lineup. It's quite sensitive for such an early TRF, performs well, and even has a lighted dial. The cabinet has a beautiful burled walnut veneer that has incredible depth and color. You wont find many of these, its quite heavy and the first time you lift it from the top that's the end of the cabinet, and with all the rubber wiring and potted capacitors in the power supply it takes a great deal of work and a degree of insanity to follow thru to the end for a working radio. The radio includes a fully and properly restored Ansonia 911 speaker ready to play! First offering on Radio Attic, Fully restored and working. 25"W x 10-1/2"H x 13-1/2"D.Was $450.00, now $400.00.

Zenith 705 (1934) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio) In 1933, FDR had been elected president as the country was experiencing a severe depression. Unlike most companies, Zenith had a huge surplus of cash, and produced 125 models, the 200, 400, 500 and 600 model series for 1933, up from just 25 the year before. Several models were carried over to 1934, and the 700 series radios, called the "Challenger" series came out. The 705 is a six-tube, AM only, AC powered radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. We then checked the tubes and resistors, replacing where necessary. We installed a new power cord, audio cable and a new antenna lead.

Zenith 715 (1933) (Wood tube tombstone radio) As the 1930's progressed, radio cabinet design went away from the Gothic cathedral style to the tombstone.

Zenith 908 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Zenith 908 is a very rare radio. Manufactured late in 1934 for the 1935 model year, it didn't even make an appearance till February of 1935. Slow sales doomed it for a very short run, and Zenith halted production shortly after its debut. So, finding this sought after radio in restored condition doesn't happen very often. The 908 is a six-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. The 1935 radios were great playing sets. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents.

It has excellent sensitivity across the dial with plenty of volume through the 8-inch speaker. Gary meticulously refinished the walnut cabinet with gorgeous Burl Walnut veneer on the front.

Zenith X519 (1955) (Plastic tube clock radio) When I was a kid my grandfather "fell heir" as he used to say, to a clock radio with a bad power cord. My mom told him I needed an alarm clock to get me up to milk the cow before school. So, we jumped in the car, headed to Western Auto, tested the tubes, bought a couple, and a new power cord. From then on I woke up to the country classics on KFAL 900 every morning. If you have memories like these, this little Zenith X519 is just the thing to bring them back to life. The cabinet is very nice. The front panel graphics are in great shape, and everything works! I cleaned and lubed the clock, recapped the chassis, fitted it with all high testing tubes, and gave it a full alignment. Reception is excellent on the internal antenna, and the sound is surprisingly good. A couple of the clock knobs have a little rash, but present fairly well. Here's your chance to rack up a bunch of good memories for under a C-note! I bet you'll be glad you did. 12"W x 7"H x 5-1/2"D. $99.00. (1680110)
