Crosley 124 (1932).   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 beefy, 8-inch speaker and a well designed chassis. I gave it a nice, slick finish, with 16 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a pretty good player for a 1932 radio, and the sound from the perfect 8-inch speaker is awesome. I had to make the tube shield and chassis pan. The dial escutcheon is a reproduction. The chassis has been painted and looks awesome. All in all, this is a very nice radio at a bargain basement price. . I'm not sure why this radio isn't selling. Come on, people. This thing is too nice to sit in my inventory! It has the early 30s antenna volume control so you have to crank the volume for weak stations. Requires an external antenna. 17"H x 17"W x 11"D.  Mike Boessen.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net  $249.00.  (0000057)

Davison Haynes Aero (1931).   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.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $749.00.  (0000007)

Jackson-Bell 84 "Peter Pan" (1931).   Collecting is a funny business. A "Beany Baby" that sold for $2 could bring $200 a year later. This low budget, depression era Jackson Bell "Peter Pan" four-tube TRF probably sold for $15, and now it brings over $800. In any case, you will be hard pressed to find a nicer example of this highly collectible model. I replaced the bad veneer over the arch with new, better, wood backed walnut. I fixed up a previous chassis rebuild, and fitted it with tubes that test new or better. I gave it a gorgeous, slick finish with 18 coats of lacquer and two sanding operations. It really is a little show stopper now. They are never perfect after 90 years, but this one has very little road rash. A couple of small, very good veneer repairs on the front and a few minor blemishes are about all of its shortcomings. One of my best cabinet jobs ever. I doubt you will have a nicer looking radio in your collection. Requires an external antenna. Has antenna type volume control. Read the provided instructions before operation. 11"H x 9"W x 7"D.  Mike Boessen.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net   ON SALE - was $899.00, now $799.00.  (0000071)

Lyric S-6 (by Wurlitzer, 1932).   I know! I had no idea Wurlitzer sold radios either, until I saw this very cool looking Lyric S-6. Turns out Wurlitzer bought out All American Mohawk co in 1930 to get a line of radios to sell. They took a couple of hints from the Philco 90, with some Zebra wood to fancy up the arch, and gave it some Philco 90ish columns, producing a pretty eye catching radio. There's nothing fancy here besides that arch, and a brightly lit dial. On-off, volume and tune are all the controls on the well made chassis, which is driving a very nice 8-inch speaker. Sound is surprisingly good after my usual thorough chassis restoration and a full alignment. 18 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations produced a nice slick finish with a few very minor flaws that all of these hundred year old radios have. I had to make one of the knobs, and it ain't perfect, but no one will notice it if you don't tell them. This is a very nice looking radio from a very famous American company, and not one you see every day. One has sold on the Radio Attic for $659. Requires an external antenna. 16-1/2"H x 13"W x 8-1/2"D.  Mike Boessen.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net  $599.00.  (0000072)

Majestic 195 (1933).   The model 195 was among the last radios produced by Majestic as they entered bankruptcy. It is more than a rare find as by design most likely the one and only. This retro mod creation completely restored well beyond what is normally seen. With its chrome chassis and new high quality speaker which puts it in a class all its own. The only flaw is the repro dial. A repro dial is not offered for the vertical design so it has the dial used in the model 161 among others. So the dial scale reads backwards. The cabinet has been refinished and in excellent condition with original knobs and grille cloth. The set performs better than new. If you are looking for something special to add to your collection this is it. 16"H x 13"W x 8-1/2"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $695.00.  (0000017)

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)

Philco 80 "JR" Mini Cathedral (1932-1933).   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.  Mike Boessen.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net   ON SALE - was $249.00, now $199.00.  (0000075)

Philco 90 (Middle, 1932).   Considered by many to be the king of the cathedrals, the Philco 90 was a masterwork of radio engineering in 1932. Philco created one of the most beautiful cabinets ever made, with a perfect blend of elegance and simplicity. I gave it a slick, piano grade finish with 16 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. This is the "middle" version, with a single 47 output tube, and the improved chassis, implementing AVC in the design. I had the speaker reconed with a modern cone, giving it better sound than the original. I had to replace the veneer on the sides, and there is one small, pretty good veneer repair in the Zebrawood arch. The chassis was very rusty, so I cleaned it and painted it. My usual, professional restoration, replacing all resistors and capacitors, properly stuffing the original caps with modern replacements. A full set of high testing tubes and a full alignment produced a good player with quite accurate dial cal and great sound. If you don't have a 90 yet, this is what you have been waiting for. 19"H x 17"W x 12"D. Requires an external antenna.  Mike Boessen.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net  $899.00.  (0000076)

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)

RCA 128 (1933).   RCA introduced a great line up of sets for 1933. Among them was this large striking model 128. These sets are not rare but to find in excellent original condition including the finish, grille cloth and knobs. If you enjoy radios with original integrity this one is for you. The dial has a red glow when lit. The chassis has been serviced and is a strong player receiving AM across the dial and also some short wave. A real show piece at 20"H x 16"W x 11"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $849.00.  (0000027)
