Crosley 5M3 (1934).   SOLD!  A well preserved, Art Deco inspired, five-tube mini tombstone, known as a Junior or Fiver. The cabinet on these was made of a plain wood covered with a faux woodgrain finish on all sides. Usually, this thin decal like covering is hopelessly scratched or missing, but it's still in very nice shape on this example. The chassis has been gone through with all new filter & paper caps and out of tolerance resistors changed. A strong tested set of tubes and new cloth line cord was added. The back of the chassis features a nice intact NRA label dated 1934! These primitive TRF sets need a long wire antenna attached to receive stations, the longer the better for more distant reception. The antenna is connected directly to the volume control, so the louder you turn the volume, the stronger the stations come in (just the opposite of modern radios, start out loud and work your way down as you approach a strong station). Despite this model's reputation for less than stellar performance, with a proper antenna this example should provide more than adequate reception. Because of the primitive TRF circuitry, my standard add-on 3.5mm cord could not be installed on this unit. 12"H x 10"W x 8"D.  $119.00.  (0000133)

Grunow 450 (1934).   The Grunow model 450 was offered in 1934 and as Art Deco was already in full swing. This is at the very least one of the best all original examples you could hope to find. There is also an historical aspect to this set that makes it even more special. The shortwave capability was professionally removed. German and Japanese Americans were required to turn in their radios to have the shortwave disabled. There is plenty of discussion to be had on how this was enforced, but represents a part of WWII history. The clean chassis has been serviced and delivers strong clear AM reception. Add this great piece of radio history to your collection. 13"H x 9"W x 7"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $595.00.  (0000013)

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.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $399.00.  (0000016)

Philco 37-610 Tombstone (1937).   SOLD!  1937 was the first year Philco began adding the year of manufacture to its model numbers. Thus the 1936 model 610 became the 37-610 in 1937. Five tubes, three bands with a unique glowing dial where the pointer moves up and down to illuminate just the band scale you're using. The shouldered tombstone cabinet sports an all-original finish with a nearly perfect faux finish front panel (this "Philcote" finish is usually hopelessly chipped or damaged). It's unusual to find a time capsule nearly 90-year-old Philco with such a good original finish. All original paper labels present in the cabinet and on the chassis. An exact reproduction grille cloth was used. The grommets were changed on the RF sub chassis, new chassis support grommets, filter and paper capacitors replaced. Tubes all tested good. Plays loud and strong, receiving all of my local stations. Rectifier tube mounted high on top of the power transformer, a cool feature on some 1937-38 Philco models. Requires a long wire external antenna to receive stations or use the 3.5mm aux cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. 13-1/4" W x 18" T x 9-1/2" D.  $229.00.  (0000190)

Sentinel 6315 (1934).   In Stein's Volume 4 price guide, this radio listed as a Radolek with a slightly different cabinet. It is noted as a Sentinel 6315 on the inside label and is listed in Riders Volume 5. The set retains the original finish except for the base. The knobs and grille cloth are also original. This rare radio that has only a 1/4" x 3/4" dial opening as it drops down to reveal each of the four bands. It also has a functional tuning meter. in excellent original condition this unusual Deco radio has it all. The set has been serviced and plays on both AM and SW. 14-1/2"H x 13-1/4"W x 7"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $749.00.  (0000028)

Silvertone 1919 Skyscraper Radio (1933).   This is the battery version that has the GTC model E Perma-Power Battery Eliminator made by General Transformer Corp. of Chicago. It has been recapped & the radio plays very well across the dial using short wire antenna. The vintage Sears Silvertone "World's Fair" radio (such as Models 1808 and 1809) is a highly collectible 1933-1935 Art Deco vacuum tube radio. It features a distinct stepped "skyscraper" or tombstone wooden cabinet built to celebrate Chicago's "A Century of Progress" Exposition. This is the 1st one I have ever seen that still has the quarter sized medallion stating same. This is a beautiful "stepped" tombstone. Original dial and knobs, speaker as well as finish which shows very well with minimal wear as you would expect for 90 year old radio. Has two bands that play great, tho not much on SW now days. The speaker is original and perfect. 15-1/2"H x 15"W x 10-3/4"D.  Tom Hunt.   E-mail: gtomrad@qx.net    Phone: 859-396-6095  $295.00.  (0000120)

Silvertone 4463 (1937).   Dating from 1937, this model displays the large round dial that had become popular. The cabinet was restored at sometime in the past. There is a repair in the dial escutcheon above 1000 on the dial. Overall the radio displays well. It retains the original grille cloth and knobs. The chassis has been serviced and is complete with original speaker. The radio plays receiving AM and short wave. 16-1/2"H x 12-1/2"W x 9"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $449.00.  (0000029)

Stromberg-Carlson 130U (1936).   If you want to get struck all over with Art Deco, I might have just what you need in this very substantial Stromberg-Carlson 130U. The bold, black speaker grille fronts some nice gold pattern grille cloth. The classic SC octagon dial is color coded to match the dots on the band switch knob. Two speed coarse and fine tuning. I reconed the 8-inch speaker with a modern, foam edge cone, giving it better bass response than when it was new. The sound from that speaker is just amazing. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a pretty good player on broadcast and shortwave. This was refinished by a previous servicer and it is very nice. I gave it a little touch up and polish. Somehow the camera made it look like there is a black stripe in the front view grille cloth, but that is not the case. This is a very nice radio, and I feel certain you will be glad you bought it. Requires an external antenna. 20-1/2"H x 15-1/2"W x 12"D. Fairly large and heavy, so shipping will be a consideration.  Mike Boessen.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net  $1,395.00.  (0000082)

Ultra 22 (1934).   Made in 1934 by Ultra Electric LTD. of London England. The grille cloth has been replaced but otherwise all original. The entire cabinet is Birdseye maple which was cleaned and preserved with a lacquer clear coat. The trim including the knobs were done in aluminum. The lower tray was distorted causing a crack which was repaired. Overall it is in excellent condition. The set has not been serviced and operates at 220V. I was able to test it at 150V. receiving one station with low volume but clear sound. It is heavy! 19"H x 15-1/2"W x 10"D  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $649.00.  (0000034)

Zenith 6-S-330 (1939).   Here's one you don't see every day. Five of this very sharp Black Dial Zenith 6S330 have sold on the Radio Attic topping out at $899 two years ago. Often referred to by collectors as the "Stars and Stripes" model, I get the "stars" part, but where are the stripes? :) This is a very nice, three-band, six-tuber with five preset buttons, a tone control, and a very accurate dial on broadcast. I gave it a nice, slick finish with 14 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. A few specks and dings remain, but it is really very nice! The 5516 chassis is well made and a very good performer. I reconed the speaker with a modern cone and the sound is better than new. I replaced all the caps and resistors and gave it a full alignment. All high testing tubes for long service life. The chassis was rusted so I had to paint it. The knobs and buttons were missing so I had to replace them with reproductions. The dial escutcheon is original, and a little deteriorated. I've seen them stripped to brass, which I personally like, but I never know what collectors want. A previous restorer haggled a hole in the 6K7 tube shield for the metal tube. All in all, this is a very striking example of this Zenith classic and would be a standout in any collection. Requires an external antenna. 18"H x 13-1/2"W x 9-1/2"D.ottest sellers of all time. Almost 100 of them have sold on the Attic topping out at $399. 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.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net  $799.00.  (0000088)

Zenith 6-V-27 (1936).   If you had no electricity in the 1930s your radio choices were mostly little crappy sets, with low power tubes, 4-inch tinny sounding speakers and expensive, throw away batteries to buy. The Zenith folks decided rural people deserved a better choice and produced what I think is the pinnacle of battery sets in the 6V27. This is an absolutely gorgeous and amazing radio. The cabinet is huge and ornate with a very striking speaker grille design, sided by Zebra wood pillars and fronted with beautiful walnut burl. I gave it a nice, slick finish. It has a dedicated RF amplifier tube and a push-pull output stage driving an 8-inch speaker. Receiver sensitivity is better than most AC sets. It has the classic Zenith black dial with vernier tuning. Broadcast and two shortwave bands. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a very good performer, with especially good shortwave reception. To top it off, I fabricated a 110V AC supply that fits under the chassis. You can still run it off 6V if you want. While it has the usual small ding or blemish here and there, this is an amazing example of this model. Big and heavy, so shipping will be a consideration. Requires an external antenna. 23"H x 17"W x 12-1/2"D.  Mike Boessen.   E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net  $750.00.  (0000090)

Zenith 7-J-232 "Walton" (1938).   The 1938 Zenith Walton Radio has now been popular with collectors for over 30 years. They can take center place in any radio collection. This example has been refinished with attention to detail matching the look of the original finish. The grille cloth and knobs are original. The set went through an extensive electronic restoration as shown. It was not only restored to operate on AC but also Battery. I removed the clip on battery hardware. The radio plays great receiving AM across the dial and I was also able to receive some short wave. 23"H x 17"W x 12"D. It doesn't get much better than this.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $2,799.00.  (0000037)
