Emerson 414 Repwood "Fleur-de-Lis" (1933). Ornate repwood model also called the "Wheat" radio. Everything is original including the back with the Emerson metal plate. It is in very good condition. This has the same chassis as the Mickey Model 411. The radio hums when plugged in so it needs repair but it displays beautifully. 5"W x 7"H x 7"D. Ken & Mona DeLackner.

Emerson 520 (1946). If Shiny and eye catching is your thing you will love this dazzling little Emerson 520. The finish is just gorgeous and the wood grain pattern is very distinctive. The chassis is just a plain AA5 with on/off/volume and tuning. After restoration it receives fairly well on the internal antenna. I added an external wire for more distant stations. The back cover is not original. The front is slightly bowed out in the middle, but I don't find this objectionable. This was, I'm sure, a very low budget radio in its day, but now it is quite a standout that will definitely get noticed. I sure did, and maybe paid a little too much for it. This one has a few shortcomings, so I'm pricing it accordingly. 11"W x 9"H x 6-1/2"D Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $339.00. (0000061)

Emerson BA201 (1938). Get a load of this nifty little Emerson BA201. As late 30s budget radios go, this one is a pretty nice example. The big, bold wood dial escutcheon really stands out against the walnut veneer on the front. Inside is a minimalist four-tube TRF with a 5-inch good sounding speaker. After my usual thorough restoration, it is a decent player with fairly good dial accuracy. The sides and top were just poorly matched pine, so I had to tint them dark. The speaker was replaced with a permanent magnet type by a previous servicer, so I removed his ballast resistor and replaced it with a proper filter choke. I had to make the rear cover and dial glass. The dial is a little deteriorated, but presentable. The finish is slick and gorgeous, with a few minor specks and dings that they all have. The shiny, dark color didn't photograph very well. Trust me. It is exceptional. This is rare. If you are an Emerson person, this is one you probably don't have, and I hope you want! It has the TRF antenna volume control, so you have to crank the volume for weaker stations. Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 8"H x 6"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $329.00. (0000064)

Grunow 588 (1937). 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. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $375.00. (0000097)

Majestic 20 (1931). You don't see this set often and may never see one as original as this one. Aside from reproduction grille cloth the cabinet is all original including finish and knobs. Although not perfect it is an extremely nice survivor. The chassis has been serviced and the power cord replaced with repro cloth covered cord retaining original ceramic plug. The radio plays well with good sound. In addition the original production tag found inside complete but in three pieces dated 9-17-30. It is display ready. 19"H x 15"W x 10-1/2"D. Mark Toppo.

Majestic 381 "Treasure Chest". I've seen a lot of "jewel box" and "treasure chest" radios, but they are all just pretenders compared to this ornately decorated Majestic 381. Majestic's cabinet guys went whole hog and created a treasure chest that Blackbeard would be proud to steal. This came to me with the chassis heavily modified. I put it back to all original. I even fitted it with all original Majestic tubes, including the two metal coated ones. For a four-tube novelty radio, the performance is pretty good and the sound from the 4-inch speaker is surprisingly good as well. If you want a radio people will notice, look no further. Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 10"H x 7-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $359.00. (0000073)

Philco 37-60. SOLD! From the 1937 model year, this Philco two-band has a refinished cabinet and restored chassis. The front of the cabinet was originally a photo-finish decal which had chipped away from age so the original pattern has been duplicated with lacquer toners and a semi-gloss clear. All wax and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, resistors and tubes checked and alignment peaked. These sets have great sensitivity but need a long wire antenna for reception. 17"H x 14"W x 9"D. $325.00. (0000103)

RCA 110 (1932). This small RCA 110 is big on style with its intricate grille cloth which makes it a real stand out. The knobs and grille are correct reproductions. The balance of this set is original right down to the power cord. Most of the original finish has been preserved. The chassis has been serviced with good AM reception across the dial. I was able to get some AM stations that go beyond 1500 offered on AM but little else. 14"H x 11"W x 7"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $379.00. (0000026)

Stewart-Warner 07-5R5 (1940). In the small, AA5 wood cabinet table radio category, you will be hard pressed to beat this very attractive Stewart-Warner 07-5R5. The Ingraham cabinet is covered with gorgeous veneers, sensuous curves, and an attractive grille design. The original finish was very nice so I touched it up and left it. The grain is showing in the walnut burl front, but only if you look very close. My usual thorough chassis rebuild produced a fairly good player on the internal antenna, with a screw terminal for more distant listening. The shortwave band, selected by a switch on the back, only goes to 7 Mhz, but works fairly well. All high testing tubes for long service life. This is a very attractive little radio, and is also rare. Only one has sold on the Radio Attic at $350. 15"W x 7"H x 7"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $329.00. (0000081)

Zenith 6-D-525 (1941). Referred to as the "Toaster" by collectors, this nifty little Zenith 6D525 must have been one of the hottest sellers of all time.Getting the lacquer in all of those little slots and that wooden speaker grille was a challenge, but I finally got it. The result is a very attractive little radio with pretty darn good performance thanks to the rare, dedicated RF amplifier tube. The back cover is a little beat up, but I like having the original on there. Someone replaced the antenna with one from a 6D520. That has a tone switch on it, which I thought was good, so I implemented it and drilled a hole for the switch, unfortunately right in the middle of the logo. The knobs are reproductions. All in all a very nice little radio. If you aren't one of the hundred folks who already bought one, here's your chance to jump on the bandwagon. 12"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. Mike Boessen.
