| Airline 25WGW-1552 (1952). SOLD! Here's a basic Mid Century Modern five-tube Montgomery Ward Airline brand bedside radio. Nice original crack free cabinet. A couple of superficial scratches on the top that do not detract from the overall appearance. The natural finish cabinet still has an amazing marble swirl pattern.

(0000131) |
| Airline 35BR-1542A. Made for Montgomery Wards by Belmont radio, this Airline has a built-in Bluetooth receiver connected through the phonograph input. The chassis was restored by replacing the selenium rectifier with a diode, all wax and electrolytic capacitors were replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. The cabinet has been polished back to its original satin sheen. Larger for a Bakelite radio. 16"W x 10"H x 10"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $150.00. (0000091) |
| Arvin 451TL (1950). Five-tube Mid-Century Modern design featuring a Lucite dial scale ring that, when it is illuminated, looks stunning in a dark room with an almost 3D effect. The otherwise crack free cabinet had a piece broken out on the bottom side radius towards the rear that was a challenging repair, necessitating the cabinet to be painted. It was given a bright maroon enamel that accents the anodized gold trim nicely. It has been recapped, 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. Or use the 3.5mm aux cord to play your own content through the radio. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $129.00. (0000132) |
| Crosley 11-105U (1951). Once in a while I see a radio, it just smacks me in the eye, and I have to buy it. This cute little chartreuse Crosley 11-105U is one of those. The finish is very good on this sweetie, with a few dings and scratches, mostly on the bottom. Very slight tube heat damage on one side, but barely noticeable. Some damage on the volume knob. It looks like it got too close to something hot, but you're never going to find a new one, so I couldn't do anything about that. Overall it is very presentable and just adorable. My usual thorough chassis rebuild, replacing all the capacitors and most of the resistors. The sound is pretty darn good from the perfect 5-inch speaker. You won't have any trouble finding this one in your collection. It is a real eye catcher. It must have caught the eye of buyers in 1951 as well. 10"W x 6"H x 6"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $299.00. (0000056) |
| Crosley 56-TD "Duette" (1947). This one-of-a-kind designed Crosley radio is in excellent undamaged condition. The 1947 Post-War model is a must have in any collection. Nicknamed the "Duette" due to its symmetrical back and front. 1947 Crosley magazine advertising for this set called it a "Rondo." Not sure why, it must have been dreamed up by a Crosley promotional person! The ad stated that it was "Smart and New-from every view." This case is in really nice condition, just a minuscule paint chip or two, but no other major issues like chips or cracks. The radio has been recapped & gone over by a pro, everything needing changing was replaced and it plays wonderfully, no interference or filter hum. The dial lamp works fine. The reception on this radio is excellent, picking up all my local stations, and many distant stations at night. About 10-1/2"W x 8-1/5"H x 6"D. Shipping will run $25 packed safely to anywhere in the USA. David Spivey. E-mail: wdspivey@outlook.com ON SALE - was $156.00, now $139.00. (0000121) |
| Crosley 9-114W (1948). SOLD! Here's a post war five-tube Crosley table model. Receives all of my local stations or use the aux 3.5mm cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. The chassis has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, new line cord, controls cleaned and lubricated. Crack free cabinet featuring its original paint as does the gold mesh metal grill insert. A few minor "flea bite" chips in the original paint were carefully touched up and it displays like new. 12-1/2"W x 8-1/2"H x 7"D. $89.00. (0000134) |
| Detrola Pee Wee (1937). Black Plaskon with cream/white dial and knobs with horizontal louvers and tiny feet. This midget four-tube AC/DC radio is only about 6-1/4"W x 4-1/4"H x 4"D. The cabinet has no flaws and everything including the back is original. When turned on the dial lights up and faintly pulls in the lower stations. Ken & Mona DeLackner. E-mail: mdelack@hotmail.com $240.00. (0000143) |
| Emerson 336 (1940). 1940 Emerson with a seldom seen Plaskon cabinet. Most of these models were in brown Bakelite. The chassis has all new capacitors, checked resistors and tubes, new dial lamp and peaked alignment. Great player with internal loop antenna, plus a lead for adding an external antenna. 11"W x 7"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $195.00. (0000092) |
| Emerson 695 (1952). There seems to be a trend toward small, economical table radios lately. In that vein, I popped for this cute Emerson 695 from 1952. There's nothing fancy about this little guy, but I think the style has a clean, attractive look to it. The sound isn't bad from the perfect 4-inch speaker. My usual thorough chassis restoration and full alignment produced a good receiver for local stations, with an antenna wire for more distance. There are three small dings on the top front edge of the otherwise very nice cabinet. I had to make three of the knobs. The clock and alarm work fine. All in all, a nice little radio that won't take up much space and won't break the bank. These topped out on the Radio Attic at $180 in 2019. I realize it has a few shortcomings and am pricing it accordingly. 9-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $119.00, now $99.00. (0000062) |
| FADA S46W (1938). I generally avoid brown Bakelite radios. When I saw this very nice FADA S46W, I made an exception. The Art Deco style cabinet is one of the nicest I've seen. The Bakelite material is at least twice as thick as any in my experience, helping it survive with no cracks. These dark brown radios are notoriously difficult to photograph. Trust me, the cabinet is very nice. The chassis is well designed and the sound is surprisingly good. The gold dial is eye catching and brightly lit. Reception is surprisingly good for a five-tuber. This was previously restored, and a very good job of it. I had to make a back cover for it. If you're a FADA person, this is rare. All in all, a really nice little radio that won't break the bank and doesn't take up much space. 11"W x 7-1/4"H x 7"D. Requires an external antenna. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $225.00. (0000067) |

E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000093) |
| General Electric 423 (1951). Here is a extra nice example of this popular GE radio. The ivory plastic does have a hairline crack as shown but otherwise just light surface wear still retaining the original shine. The set features beam of light tuning that follows the dial pointer moving left to right. The radio displays well with a great mid century design. It has been serviced including new power cord. It plays well with clear sound across the dial. 12"W x 9"H x 7"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $129.00. (0000011) |
| Grundig Majestic 80U (1955). AM-FM Grundig made for the US market in 1955.

(0000096) |
| Majestic 511 (1938). Beautiful color combination of ivory Plaskon with royal blue Tenite grille. The case is in really nice condition with no major cosmetic issues. Everything is original including knobs, power cord and the full original back. This is five-tube AC superheterodyne set. It is untested. Ken & Mona DeLackner. E-mail: mdelack@hotmail.com $475.00. (0000146) |
| Majestic 5A410 (1946). This 1946 five-tube Majestic had a cracked Bakelite cabinet, so after repair I gave it a custom paint job using automotive grade basecoats and a urethane clear. The chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, checking all tubes and resistors and peaking the alignment. Internal loop antenna for reception of local stations. 12"W x 8"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $250.00. (0000099) |
| Majestic 5TO (1938). This beautifully marbled beetle plastic cabinet has orange and green streaks. The beetle "Onyx" option was designated as the model 5TO. Everything is original and is in great condition. No cracks or chips. This is a combo radio/clock. The radio works. The back light which illuminates the radio doesn't work - Altho it did work last month so there's hope. 8"W x 8"H x 6"D. Ken & Mona DeLackner. E-mail: mdelack@hotmail.com $750.00. (0000144) |
| Mirror-Tone 850 (1947). There is nothing extraordinary about this Mirror Tone 850, but somehow the little thing just catches your eye and tugs at the heartstrings. Maybe it's the clean white cabinet with the bright red knobs and dial. Kind of like a cute little girl in her Easter dress. The cabinet is in excellent condition, with no cracks or scratches. A full restoration produced a surprisingly good player for a four-tube midget. All high testing tubes for long service life. Fairly rare. When I saw it, I had to buy it. I hope you get the same feeling! Requires an external antenna. 8"W x 5"H x 5"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $195.00. (0000074) |

This model has a lighted dial. The Bakelite cabinet was cracked so after repair it was repainted with a champagne gold automotive basecoat/clearcoat urethane.

Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000102) |
| Philco 46-420 (1946). The Philco Hippo is a rather unusual post war design that proved successful then and with collectors today. It does have a fine hairline crack on the left edge to the left of the knob. Then goes to the back edge. It has been reinforced with clear epoxy. It's very hard to see and otherwise nice original example noting the perfect Philco decal along with original back that still clips on. The dial is also in excellent condition. The radio has been serviced and works great. 12"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $159.00. (0000020) |
| Philco 52-548 Transitone (1952) . SOLD! This Philco is reportedly called the "Wedge." It sports a very modern design also seen in early Bakelite TV sets. Mid Century Modern meets George Jetson! Even more remarkable, this is the original Philco factory ivory paint job that was applied to the Bakelite crack-free cabinet back in 1952! There are a few very minor pin head size paint chips but they don't detract. It retains its original beautiful shine. Even the gold anodized trim on the knobs is still bright and shiny. A true survivor! It has a strong tested set of tubes, new line cord, been recapped, mica replaced in IF Transformer, controls cleaned/lubricated, so it plays strong across the dial with its built-in large stick antenna or use the attached included free of charge 3.5mm aux cord to play your own audio content through the radio. Beautiful lighted dial. A very unique and unusual set, with a fully enclosed cabinet. 14"W x 8"H x 10"D. $159.00. (0000129) |
| Philco 53-560 (1953). Made for Philco's 1953 model year, this five-tube set has had the chassis restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, replacing any out of tolerance tubes and resistors, and peaking the alignment.

E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $125.00. (0000105) |
| Philco PT-30 (1941). From the 1941 model year, this five-tube Philco has a restored chassis and repainted Bakelite cabinet.

E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000106) |
| RCA 12AX2 (1940). From 1940, this RCA has a restored five-tube chassis and glossy black cabinet. All wax and electrolytic capacitors were replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. The Bakelite cabinet was cracked at a lower corner and originally painted white. After repairs, the color was changed to an automotive grade urethane black. Internal loop antenna works fairly well for local stations but I included a short length of wire for improved reception. 10"W x 7"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $225.00. (0000108) |
| RCA 12X (1940). This little 1940 RCA came to me with a cracked cabinet so after restoring the five-tube chassis, I did some custom paintwork on the cabinet. Originally brown Bakelite, it was repainted in a soft yellow then "smoked" to add a visual texture similar to the Catalin radios. Over that I applied a light pearlescent midcoat to give the cabinet a little iridescence. This is all topped by a coat of automotive grade urethane clear. The radio has had all wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. Internal loop antenna for receiving local stations. 10"W x 7"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $275.00. (0000109) |
| RCA 56X (1945). SOLD! Exceptionally nice red dot dial, six-tube classic design RCA. Has bass & treble control knob, unusual for a set of this type, and a beautiful dial glass. The cabinet had a small piece broken out on the bottom back corner that was repaired. It has been repainted in gorgeous, bold Kiwi enamel that accents the maroon dial. It receives all of my local stations easily with its built-in loop antenna. The chassis has been recapped, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays strong or use the attached included free of charge 3.5mm aux cord to play your own audio content through the radio. 12"W x 8"H x 7-1/2"D. $119.00. (0000135) |
| RCA 8-X-541 (1948). This 8-X-541 has been given a custom variation. The original trim on top was missing. A new one was made and it is attached using the existing mounting holes. The center of the dial was also painted with the same color. The cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. It still retains the factory gloss shine and factory clip on back. It has been serviced and plays well. 10-1/2"W x 7"H x 5-1/2"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $95.00. (0000024) |

You can plug in to the headphone port of your device and enjoy the music of your choice through the radio. This six-Tube Sentinel has a tone control (center knob). The crack free (but badly chipped) white painted cabinet was given a striking red spray by its previous owner. It's not a flawless paint job but still very presentable. Knobs aren't original to this set but they match and look good with the cabinet design. The chassis has been recapped, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays loud and clear across the dial with its built-in loop antenna. 11-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 7"D. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $119.00. (0000151) |
| Silvertone 9001 (1952). Compact Sears Roebuck catalog radio that's not small on style or performance. This cabinet design was used from 1949 to 1953, and since the label on the bottom of the cabinet is stamped 1952, I think it's safe to call this one a 1952 model. This five-tube set, despite designed with only one IF transformer, plays well, receiving all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna, or use the attached 3.5mm cord installed at no extra cost for playing your own content. It's been recapped, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated. New line cord. Cabinet is crack free and all original painted finish! There were some tiny flea bite chips that were carefully touched up with matching paint. Cabinet is compact in size yet quite pleasing in design. 8-3/4"W x 6"H x 6"D. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $129.00. (0000155) |

| Stromberg-Carlson 1101-H (1947). The movement toward more Bakelite and plastic radios continued after the war. The 1101-H by Stromberg-Carlson is a good example. The Bakelite cabinet was repainted by a previous owner in its original Ivory color. There are no cracks or damage to the Bakelite. The chassis has been serviced and the radio plays well receiving AM stations across the band. Ready to add to your collection. 12"W x 7"H x 7"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $119.00.

This very rare set uses five tubes and is a real performer. There are some slight indentations in the metal grille and cabinet has light surface wear.

Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000116) |
| Western Royal 173 (1940?). Here's an attractive Western royal Bakelite radio. My understanding is that these were sold through Western Auto which make sense. Only a few examples of Western Royal radios can be found and I could not find this one. The radio is in excellent condition with the exception of the chip in the mounting retainer inside the cabinet. It has a nice repro back. The chassis is mounted with five screws not four. I have never seen that done on any radio. It has been serviced and a strong performer, still retaining the original call letters on the push buttons. If you like rare radios this is for you. 12"W x 8"H x 7"D Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $199.00. (0000035) |
| Zenith 6-D-312 (1938). I think the lowest, entry level position at the Zenith factory must have been the guy who stamps the model info on the cabinets and chassis. They are almost always terrible. This one, however is almost perfect! Some folks call this the "beehive" although I think that is actually a different model. The cabinet is very nice with no cracks and very few dings/scratches. Looks better than the photo booth made it. Broadcast only, with four presets. My usual thorough chassis restoration with all high testing tubes for long service life. The 5-inch speaker has a small, very professional repair. I gave it a coat of the Parts Express Black Magic speaker coating to prevent further fractures and improve the bass response. I had to make a back cover for it. All told this is a very nice radio. This model topped out on the Radio Attic at $395 in 2011. Requires an external antenna. About 12-1/2"W x 7-3/4"H x 6-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $349.00. (0000085) |
| Zenith 6-D-612 (1942). 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. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $279.00. (0000036) |
