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. A lot of them have sold on the Radio Attic, with the chartreuse model topping out at $295. 10"W x 6"H x 6"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $299.00. (0000056)

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. Several have sold on the Radio Attic topping out at $395 in 2019. 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)

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 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)

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)

Crosley JC-6BN (1956). A stylish clock radio from 1956 with late Mid Century Design. The gold torn has worn off the trim which is chrome. There is light pitting as shown but overall displays well. It has been serviced and plays surprisingly well. The clock runs quiet and keeps good time. 9-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 5"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $169.00. (0000006)

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)

Delco R-1126 (1937). If you're looking to get into the Eye Tube club on a budget, consider this nifty Delco R-1126 from 1937. Delco settled on a simple, yet attractive cabinet design, with a large, brightly lit gold dial and the distinctive bronze grille cloth that I matched as best I could. The original finish was very nice on this radio, so I touched it up and overcoated it with a couple of shots of gloss lacquer. I replaced all the caps and resistors and fitted with a full set of high testing tubes for long service life. It even has the original antenna wire still coiled up on the spool. A full alignment produced a pretty good receiver on Broadcast with a very accurate dial. The shortwave only goes to 6 mhz, but works well. The knobs are not original, but resemble the originals and complement the radio nicely. All in all, a fairly swell little radio. Four of these have sold on the Radio Attic topping out at $495 last year. Requires an external antenna. 15"W x 10"H x 8"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $425.00. (0000058)

Detrola 146 (1937). 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. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $359.00, now $299.00. (0000059)

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)

Dumont RA 346 "Frame" (1956). So, I'm going through a warehouse with over 300 radios, making snap judgement calls. I paid $100 for this really cool little Dumont RA 346, not knowing that the red color is not original. I couldn't get myself to trash it, so I fixed it up in the hopes that some kind person would give it a home despite the outrage committed to it. The design of this radio is very interesting, almost like they planned for you to cut a hole in the wall and mount it in that, making it look like a picture frame. The little guy is actually a very good performer and picked up more stations in my metal shop than a lot of much more expensive radios. There is a little wear and tear on the red paint around the edges. One sold in 2006 for $135. It's really a very nice, rare little radio. 8-1/2"W x 7"H x 5"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $79.00. (0000060)

Eicor 115 (1950-53). Eicor made tape recorders from 1950 to 1953 so this is an early reel to reel. It is unrestored but has strong audio when switched to listen. It works in forward but not rewind. The case shows some wear but overall excellent condition as nice as I've seen one. Included is one audio device tape reel, Scotch recording tape booklet and warranty card. In addition there are two microphones, one Eicor and one Dentron. The Dentron has a couple of paint chips but otherwise both are in excellent condition. A great find sold to display or restore. 17"W x 8-1/2"H x 12"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $149.00. (0000008)

Emerson 169 Old Hickory Furniture (1938). If you like one of a kind rare radio variations this beauty is for you. The Old Hickory furniture Company dates back to 1899 when it was incorporated in 1939 old Hickory introduced the provincial collection. At this time they started doing custom design work. I verified with Bob Morrison at old Hickory. He had no other information other than this was their custom design. The top of the cabinet had to be refinished do to water damage. Otherwise it is in all original condition. Look closely and you'll see round circles where wood dowels are used in the assembly of the cabinet. No screws or nails were used. The chassis has all new capacitors and plays well with strong clear sound and receives both AM and shortwave. A piece of history. Old Hickory furniture can be found in the homes of Presidents, National Parks such as the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone. 28"H x 14-1/2"W x 10"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $799.00. (0000009)

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 414 "Wheat" (1933). Also known as "Fleur-de-Lis," the model 414 dates from 1933. The chassis was also used in the Mickey Mouse and Snow White sets produced by Emerson. These sets are a rare find in excellent all original condition down to the power cord. This example uses a pin drive high impedance speaker rather than the field coil type as both have shown up with this chassis. Unfortunately I could not adjust this speaker to handle higher volume. Otherwise the chassis has been restored and is receiving several stations that you can listen to at low volume. It is ready for display. 7-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 5"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $595.00. (0000010)

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. E-mail: mdelack@hotmail.com $350.00. (0000145)

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. You can see it in the "top" photo. 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. These topped out on the Radio Attic around $400. 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 574 "Momento" (1949).

Here is an extremely hard to find classic Emerson radio in excellent condition. This set was available in three variations: a black Catalin case, a burled walnut case, and a red leatherette case. Of the three versions, I believe this red leatherette set is the hardest to find in good condition, as most of the Catalin sets were susceptible to cracks, and the walnut cases seemed to always have many veneer issues. This red leatherette case is in excellent condition without any rips or tears, just a few small nicks in the covering. This is a battery-operated set with three "D" cells and a battery pack of seven 9-volt batteries producing the necessary "B" voltage. And unlike most of these radios, where they are always described as "untested," this Emerson is working & playing very well because it has all brand-new batteries in it. When the case is opened, and the small clear plastic piece is raised, the radio turns on. Push it down and the radio turns off. I have owned several of these particular models, and I have never seen or read that the plastic on-off switch is spring loaded. It receives reception on all of my local AM stations without any problems. Everything is original, knobs and picture frame. The top snaps shut when you close it. I have included a picture of my old sweetheart in the frame, at no charge. But her phone number will cost you extra! About 7-1/2" square x 3-1/2"H. David Spivey. E-mail: wdspivey@outlook.com ON SALE - was $289.00, now $239.00. (0000122)

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)

Emerson AX-238 (1938). Sometimes called a "jewel box" this Emerson AX-238 should be IN the box, as it is a little jewel itself. The wood in the Ingraham cabinet is absolutely gorgeous. The thing is just struck all over with cute. The cabinet was already restored when I bought it and is very nice. The chassis has been modified to eliminate the "curtain burner" power cord by a previous servicer. I took care of a few errors and omissions, fitted it with all high testing tubes and gave it a full alignment. The receiver performance is surprisingly good for a five-tube novelty radio. I was able to recover some poor repair work on the speaker, and give it a coat of the amazing Parts Express wet look product. It sounds very good for a 4-incher now. The original volume control has been replaced with an On/off/volume control, but the lid actuated on/off switch still works. This radio is a total eye catcher, and will get noticed! Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 6"H x 8-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $425.00. (0000063)

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)

Emerson DQ398-CH-DQ (1941) . SOLD! This rare and desirable Emerson features an Ingraham designed cabinet that is totally unique in its shape. Featuring inlayed pinstripes (an Ingraham trademark), these don't turn up too often! With five tubes, it receives all of my local AM stations. Plays strong across the dial with its large built-in loop antenna. Or use the 3.5mm aux cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. All electrolytic and paper caps have been replaced, tubes tested strong, controls were cleaned and lubricated. Cabinet was refinished using spray toners and topped with a spray of clear enamel for durability. Original Emerson pointed knobs. New dial cover, back cover and line cord. 14"W x 9-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $149.00. (0000127)

Emerson DS-436 (1940-1941). 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. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $649.00, now $599.00. (0000065)

FADA 169B (?) Hazeltine Neutrodyne (1925?).

I recently purchased a small collection from a nice lady whose husband is in poor health. Among that was this 1925ish FADA 169B? Hazeltine Neutrodyne TRF receiver. This is a five-tube radio that can drive either headphones or a speaker. For those not familiar with these, this is not your modern Superheterodyne radio. This is a three-dial TRF. The operation is part science, part magic, and part art. There is no HI-FI here. All five 01A tubes test better than new, and according to Radio Electric Supply, are worth more than I am asking for this whole setup. I'm not leaving you with anything else to buy. I have fitted it with a 110v supply, period correct headphones and a speaker. I am even including the FADA assembly and operation manual. I had to strip and refinish the Beckly Ralston cabinet. This will require a substantial external antenna for all but very strong local stations. It is large and heavy, so shipping will be a consideration. This is a very nice example of early AM radio. I'm losing my shirt here, but I want this little sweetie to find a good home. 27"W x 12"H x 10"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $200.00. (0000066)

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)

Fairbanks-Morse TCO 57 (1936).

Rare Fairbanks-Morse TCO Model 57 made in 1936. This is a fully restored and aligned table top model with a pristine waterfall veneer that rolls over front to back, vents on both ends, and a large well-lit one-piece bullet dial. The two bands (Broadcast & Shortwave) both work well. Many components have been replaced or rebuilt including all tubes, resistors, capacitors, power transformer, band selector switch, volume control, speaker, etc. 16"W x 10"H x 9-1/2"D; 12 lbs. . $495.00. (ends 11/10/2026) (0000147)

Farnsworth ET-065 (1946). This 1946 Farnsworth has a restored six-tube chassis and repainted cabinet. All wax and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. Originally painted white, the Bakelite cabinet now has an automotive quality black urethane paint. Internal loop antenna for local stations. 12"W x 8"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000093)

Freed-Eisemann FE-15 (1925). Happy 100th Birthday to this very nice Freed-Eisemann FE15 radio! While the company did not survive the great depression, they made radios of exceptional quality while they were in business. The original finish is very nice on this set, with very few blemishes. It is fitted with five 01A tubes that test new or better. It has been tested with the actual hardware it is being sold with. There is nothing else to buy. I'm supplying an AC power supply, speaker, and a pair of period appropriate headphones. The tubes alone are $50 each at Radio Electric Supply. The power supply sold new for $170. Speakers like this are on ebay for $150. One of these radios sold on the Radio Attic in 2009 for $155. Taken all together, this is a huge bargain, if Neutrodynes are your thing. For those not familiar with them, this is not your modern Superheterodyne HiFi radio. Operation is part science, part art, and part magic. I have provided a frequency chart to aid in tuning. This is a smaller, lighter weight example of this technology, so takes up less space and won't be as bad shipping wise. Requires a substantial external antenna to pick up any but very strong local stations. 19"W x 9"H x 9"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $300.00. (0000068)

Gardiner Radio Solder Tin (1930s). Approx. 2" diameter metal tin from the 1930's with most of the original solder still inside. Great graphics on both sides of the tin. Nice display piece. Shipping extra. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $20.00. (0000140)

Garod 6A-2 (1947). The "moderne" styling and gloss finish of this 1947 Garod make it stand out. The six-tube chassis has had all wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced, tubes and resistors checked, and alignment peaked. A high gloss lacquer was used in the cabinet restoration. Plays like new with an internal loop antenna. 13"W x 8"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $195.00. (0000094)

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)

General Electric 512F (1951). Wake up in style with this 1951 G.E. clock radio. The five-tube chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, the tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. Clock runs quietly and keeps accurate time. 11"W x 6"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $99.00. (0000095)

General Electric 7-2927A. A quick look around my site will tell you this isn't my usual thing. A good friend gave me this GE transistor set with the dial stuck. I got that fixed, so here it is. This is not terribly old. I would guess late 80s? There is a date code: 3733 in the battery box if that helps. It is a very nice and very well made little radio. AM/FM/TVHI/TVLO. Reception is very good on FM, and not bad on AM. Large, easy to read dial, and pretty good sound for a "pocket" transistor. Fairly heavy. Battery included! 6"H x 3-1/2"W x 1-3/4"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $49.00, now $29.00. (0000069)

General Electric J62 (1940/1941). 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. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $249.00. (0000070)

Gilfillan 711T (1937). A rare radio in any condition and this may be one of the best examples. It retains the original knobs and grille cloth. The entire finish on the front of the radio is all original. The balance of the cabinet has been refinished back to original including an exact match of the center gold stripe. The dial shows minor wear near the center from the pointer. The chassis has been serviced including a new NOS tuning eye. The set receives strong AM but little is offered on the short wave. 17"W x 9-1/2"H x 9"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $599.00. (0000012)

Grundig Majestic 80U (1955). AM-FM Grundig made for the US market in 1955. The three-tube chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, resistors were checked and alignment peaked. The Bakelite cabinet was polished while the face retains its original paint. Needs an external antenna for reception. 11"W x 7"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $140.00. (0000096)

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)

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)

Mack Horn Loudspeaker (1920s).

Very rare and unique horn speaker. The two circular fittings at the base are designed to attach to headphones and serve to work as a loudspeaker so many people can listen to the radio. This speaker with its ornate metal stand is in good original condition. Ken & Mona DeLackner. E-mail: mdelack@hotmail.com $350.00. (0000148)

Magnavox OFMO18 (1958). You can see the influence of Mid Century design in this Magnavox AM/FM radio. Originally this had a paper veneer. At some point it was removed and stained. I thought about painting the cabinet and grille in a contrasting color. I will leave that up to the new owner. It is missing the back and there is a ding in the back top rim as shown. Overall it is in good condition. It has strong clear AM reception but no FM. It is offered as is for restoration or to display and enjoy as is. 15"W x 9"H x 7-1/2"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $89.00. (0000015)

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)

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)

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. These topped out on the Radio Attic at $399. 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)

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)

Mallory Auto Radio Service and Replacement Manual (1935). 156 pages. Some staining throughout but everything is still legible. Rare service info and schematics for all model early car radios from 1930-35. Shipping is extra. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $20.00. (0000139)

Master Crafters Electric Ship Clock (1940s).

SOLD! Nice companion piece for the Majestic Melody Cruiser ship radio, this appears to be from the 1940's. Unrestored and nothing happens when plugged in but may just need lubrication. Quite impressive looking! Some of the masts are loose and need to be re-tightened but everything is there. 13-1/2"W x 12-1/2"H x 4-1/2"D. $75.00. (0000153)

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, with only a couple having ever sold on the Radio Attic. 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)

Motorola 60X1 (1940).

Late Art Deco meets Streamline Moderne on this stylish Motorola. The crack-free natural finish Bakelite cabinet features a beautiful marble swirl pattern. The radio has been totally recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. New line cord and aux 3.5mm cord attached at no extra cost for playing your own content through the radio. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. Nice Deco style graphics on the gold foil dial scale, too!. 11-3/4" W x 7-1/2" D x 8-1/2" T Tom Albrecht. E-mail: ctalbrecht@yahoo.com Phone: 408-425-1578 $139.00. (0000167)

Motorola 61X11 (1941). Six-tube Motorola from 1941. The chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, tubes and resistors were checked and alignment peaked. 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. Internal loop antenna for reception of local stations. 12"W x 8"W x 8"H Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $165.00. (0000100)

Motorola 65X11-A (1947). This six-tube chassis on this 1947 Motorola has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, checking the tubes and resistors and peaking the alignment. The Bakelite cabinet has been polished to bring back its natural satin luster. Internal loop antenna for reception of local stations. 13"W x 8"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $125.00. (0000101)

Mozart-Grand Horn Speaker (1925). A rare horn dating from about 1925. I have never seen one only finding a couple examples according to the radio horn speaker encyclopedia by Floyd Paul. They were made for Montgomery Ward Airline. This is the upright which came in models 9, 10, 12 and 14. I'm guessing the difference is the cone size. This one measures 10". It is in excellent condition. The decal on the cone is nearly gone located on the base of the cone opening. It is not metal but light composition material that looks surprisingly flawless. It has been tested and works well. It's 21"H. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $189.00. (0000018)

Musicaire T-491 (1948). Musicaire was the house brand for Coast to Coast hardware stores. The five-tube chassis on this 1948 model has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, tubes and resistors were checked and alignment peaked. The Bakelite cabinet was originally painted white but has been repainted with a yellow basecoat/clearcoat urethane automotive paint. Needs an external wire antenna for reception. 8"W x 5"H x 5"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000102)

Packard-Bell 566 (1946). Packard-Bell produced a number of models with the chassis mounting in the base. The 566 dates from 1946. There is a hairline crack in the handle as shown. It was secured with epoxy from the underside. The original paper dial is distorted but very legible and rare to find intact. It retains the original finish and overall a very nice clean example. It has been serviced and plays well. 12"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $169.00. (0000019)

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 38-62 (1938) . SOLD! Bold Art Deco styling is prevalent on this five-tube Philco. Cabinet is original finish, including the "Philcote" faux woodgrain finish front panel, usually hopelessly chipped or sanded off. As it darkened with age, I added a more prominent pin-striping to accent the aesthetics of the cabinet. Cabinet was given a light spray of clear enamel to preserve the finish. Grille cloth is original. Original dial scale has a small chip on the top edge and some darkened areas + one worn off spot. All filter and paper capacitors replaced. Tubes all tested good. Plays loud and strong, receiving all of my local stations. Requires a long wire external antenna to receive stations. Because a universal antenna coil was installed to replace the faulty original, the police band is non-functional (nothing much can be received on it anyway). Or use the 3.5mm aux cord, included at no extra cost, to play your own content. 16"W x 10-1/2"H x 9"D. $219.00. (0000128)

Philco 41-255 (1941).

This elaborate Philco table radio is in nice condition and is fully restorable. Cabinet finish is original and presentable as-is. Chassis is complete and clean with all tubes. If you would like me to electrically restore this radio to like-new operation, I can do that for an additional $85 (which does not include cabinet restoration). Buyer pays actual shipping cost (I will use Pirateship.com to minimize shipping cost). Tom Albrecht. E-mail: ctalbrecht@yahoo.com Phone: 408-425-1578 $65.00. (0000160)

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 as shown. 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 48-300 (1948). 1948 Philco five-tube portable. The chassis has been restored with new capacitors in place of the old wax and electrolytics, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. The wooden cabinet has been repainted in the original ivory, tan and chocolate paint scheme. 12"W x 11"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $195.00. (0000104)

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. The Bakelite cabinet was hopelessly faded so I coated it with an automotive grade high gloss urethane. Internal loop antenna for reception of local stations. 11"W x 6"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $125.00. (0000105)

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)

Philco B650 (1954). This four-tube set is a rare find especially in Cherry Red. It has a nice mid century design. It has only minor surface wear with no crack or chips. Super clean inside and out and displays like new. The dials are so clean I don't think it saw much use. It is untested and sold as found. 9"W x 6"H x 2-1/2"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $249.00. (0000021)

Philco Dynamic Reproducer stylus (NOS).

These were used on the 1946-48 Philco console radios like the 46-1209 and 47-1230 that used the high fidelity phonograph with the "Dynamic Reproducer." It was a special square ended stylus that only fits that cartridge. If a round shaft "needle" is inserted, it ruins the cartridge. These are very hard to find new in the blister pack! Shipping included within continental US. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $50.00. (0000142)

Philco PT-30 (1941). From the 1941 model year, this five-tube Philco has a restored chassis and repainted Bakelite cabinet. After repairing a crack in the lower left front, I repainted it Lexus pearl white with automotive grade basecoat/clearcoat urethane. The chassis has had all wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. Internal loop antenna for local stations. 12"W x 8"H x 6"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000106)

Philco Transistor Bookshelf Radio. Among many things I have "fallen heir" to is this cute little Philco branded transistor bookshelf radio. AM/FM with built in antennas. Sound is pretty good, and receiver sensitivity isn't bad. Runs on four "D" cells, included. Not sure who is the target audience for this, and no idea its value, but I guess I'll list it here and see what happens. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $49.00, now $39.00. (0000077)

Pilot T601 "Pilotuner" (1947). This is a very nice example of the pilot FM converter. You can convert your AM radio to receive FM. It is set up to plug into the phono connection at the rear of your chassis. By switching your set to phono will provide FM reception. It has been serviced and provides clear FM reception. In addition it makes a great display piece next to your AM radio. Also included are several photo copies from schematics to ads. 9"W x 7"H x 6"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $149.00. (0000022)

Pilot Wasp (1928). The Pilot Wasp was sold as a shortwave receiver kit for $21.75 including the coils. The five coils were color coded and covered 17 to 500 meters. It uses three 01A tubes that all test good. The coil box is complete with custom display stand. There is a repaired crack in the same location on the right and left rails at the mounting screws. Three new 3D replaced rails are included if you wish to replace the originals. Overall it is in very good condition. I checked the primary and secondary on both transformers and did find they are not open. Otherwise it is offered untested. A rare piece of early radio history. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $599.00. (0000023)

Puritan 6A35WG-504W (1946). Puritan brand radios were marketed by Pure Oil Company in their gas stations. This model was made in 1946 by Wells Gardner for Pure Oil. The six-tube, two-band chassis has been restored with replacement of all wax and electrolytic capacitors, the tubes and resistors were checked and alignment peaked. The cabinet has been refinished with period correct lacquer toners and a semi-gloss finish. Internal loop antenna received local stations but an external antenna will be needed for short wave reception. 17"w x 10"H x 9"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $220.00. (0000107)

Radiola 18 (1928). Time for some shelf clearing. This radio is unrestored and is being sold "as is." The original finish is fairly nice and would probably present well with a little touch-up. Missing the volume bezel. Some tubes in it, no idea if they are good. Has a ziplock with parts labeled "Radiola 17 parts" inside (see photo). Very heavy (approximately 40 pounds. 27-1/2"W x 8"H x 9"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $25.00. (0000078)

RCA 1-BT-21 (1959). Very collectable RCA model 1-BT-21 AM seven-transistor radio. Restored with all brand new electrolytic capacitors and other components as needed. Clean inside and out. No chips, cracks, or dents. The audio is clear. Radio receives lots of AM broadcast stations across the entire band. Radio requires four "AA" batteries (not included). 7"W x 3-1/2"H x 3/4"D. Shipping to be determined at sale domestic only. Lenny Bickford. E-mail: radiomannh@radioattic.com $129.00. (0000042)

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)

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.

RCA 96T1 (1938). Fantastic style and veneer detail on this 1938 RCA. The six-tube chassis had been restored by replacing all wax paper and electrolytic capacitors, tubes and resistors were checked and alignment peaked. A fuse was added to protect the power transformer. Period correct toners and a semi-gloss lacquer were used to restore the cabinet. Needs a long wire antenna for reception. 16"W x 11"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $295.00. (0000111)

It receives all of my local stations with a long wire attached or use the built in RCA jack on the back of the chassis to play your own audio content. Has a bank of push-button presets, with the left-hand button designated for the aux RCA jack and the right-hand button needing to be depressed for dial tuning. The Tenite escutcheon is still nice and straight and the Tenite pushbuttons, usually so brittle they break off or are missing altogether, are still intact and function as they should. The entire cabinet was refinished using spray toners and topped with a spray of clear enamel for durability. It doesn't show up too well in the photos, but it has a very pretty light green backlit dial that really pops in a dark room. 15-1/2"W x 12-1/2"H x 9-1/2"D. Tom Albrecht.

RCA A20 (Canada, 1939/40). From our RCA friends north of the border in Montreal, Canada comes this really unique model A20 "Globetrotter." The cabinet is just amazing with the waterfall front, chrome effects fronting the original grille cloth, keyboard style tuning dial and side mounted tuning and tone controls. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a fairly good performer on broadcast, and some of the best shortwave reception I've seen on any home receiver. The sound is pretty good from the 5-inch speaker. I rigged up a mobile device cable to plug into the phono jack on the rear. Plug in the cable, switch the switch on the back to phono, and set the volume with the mobile device. The cabinet was refinished by a previous servicer. While it isn't as slick as my work, it is respectable. I gambled on this little sweetie having no idea its value. I think it is a very interesting and eye catching design. I sure would like to find it a good home. Requires an external antenna. 14"W x 11"H x 10"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $295.00. (0000080)

Sentinel 332-I (1949).

A 3.5mm cord has been installed at no extra cost for another listening option beyond the standard AM broadcasts. 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)

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 1661 (1940). This Sears Silvertone from 1940 has a Bluetooth receiver added for playing streaming audio wirelessly. The six-tube chassis was restored by replacing all electrolytic and wax capacitors, resistors and tubes were checked and alignment peaked. The cabinet was refinished with period correct lacquer toners and a semi-gloss finish. The small switch on the back panel powers on the Bluetooth receiver so streaming audio can be played through the radio's speaker. Internal loop antenna for reception of local AM stations. 15"W x 10"H x 8"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $200.00. (0000112)

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)

Silvertone 6050 (1946) .

This Sears Roebuck catalog radio features six tubes, a tone control, and a bold Art Deco inspired chrome dial bezel. It's rare to find these with such nice original chrome. Usually, they are discolored or pitted and require painting. AM only, it receives all the local stations with a just its long antenna. Has the 3.5mm aux cord added at no extra cost for more listening options. All the paper and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, tubes tested good, new line cord. New clear dial cover and new grille cloth. The wood cabinet has been nicely refinished by the previous owner with toner and dark accents. A sharp looking post-war radio. 14-1/2"W x 8-1/4"H x 8"D. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $179.00. (0000130)

Silvertone 6320 (1939).

The Silvertone 6320 is easily one of the more unique small table radios in my experience. The chassis is mounted upside down, and the mechanical piano key presets are reminiscent of an old time car radio. The shiny brass escutcheon is bright and eye catching. The otherwise decent chassis was very difficult to restore, due to the enclosed circuitry, but the result was a fairly good player. The sound from the perfect 5-inch speaker is fairly good. Picks up local stations on the internal antenna, with a wire for more distant stations. The cabinet was refinished by a previous restorer. He didn't do very well on the right side, but the value of the radio doesn't warrant stripping and refinishing, so I am pricing it accordingly. Not quite as bad in person as the camera made it look. He made a not very good back cover, but, again, the radio value precludes getting a new one. All in all a unique and interesting little radio, and not one you see every day. 10-3/4"Wx 7-3/4"H x 5-3/4"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $229.00. (0000159)

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)

Silvertone WLS Speaker. In the early 1920s Sears advertised themselves as the "World's Largest Store." One of their better marketing strategies of the time was to launch one of the most powerful radio stations in the nation, with the call sign WLS, in their home town of Chicago. They then branded radios, speakers and even vacuum tubes with the WLS logo and advertised them on the station. This is one of those products. The brown wrinkle finish is very good and, I believe, original. This is one of the best sounding high impedance speakers I've ever heard. The cord is not frayed and is in nice condition. If you are a Neutrodyne guy, you need this speaker! 14"H x 13"W x 5"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $160.00. (0000079)

Sonora RBU-175 (1946). The Sonora Television corp. was based in Chicago. The 1946 Bakelite model is a nice example with no cracks or chips. The large colorful dial glass sets it off. It is all original inside and out including the back. The chassis has been serviced including a new line cord. The set plays loud and clear receiving stations across the dial. 10-1/2"W x 7"H x 6"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $139.00. (0000030)

Sonora RBU-175 (1947). This 1947 Sonora has a restored five-tube chassis and a repainted Bakelite cabinet. All wax paper and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. The cabinet was originally white but has been repainted with an automotive grade black urethane finish. Internal loop antenna for local reception. 11"W x 7"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $175.00. (0000113)

Sonora RZU-222 (1946).

This Bakelite 1946 Sonora was originally ivory white but has been repainted in an automotive pearl white basecoat/clearcoat urethane paint. The six-tube chassis was restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, tubes and resistors were checked and alignment peaked. Internal loop antenna for reception of local stations. 12"W x 8-1/2"H x 8"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $225.00. (0000114)

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)

Stewart-Warner R110AT (1933). There were several different radios offered by Stewart-Warner with the 110 series chassis. This 1933 ten-tube set has twin speakers. Offered is the rare three-knob version which does not have short wave bands. At some point part of the dial rim above 150 chipped off and was glued back in as shown. The sides are planks of solid wood glued together. There is a separation between the two planks on the left side as shown; neither defect detracts from the overall set. It retains an excellent finish with original grille cloth. The radio has been serviced and is a strong performer across the AM band. 15"W x 13" x 12"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $749.00. (0000031)

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. (0000032)

Stromberg-Carlson 1110 (1946). 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. This 1110 is a nice example of that commitment to quality. The very well designed chassis is a good performer on the internal antenna, with screws for external. 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. I fine tuned a previous restoration, installed all high testing tubes and gave it a full alignment. The sound is the most amazing I have ever heard from a 5-inch speaker. I have provided a mobile device cable for the phono input. The finish on the dial bezel it a bit deteriorated, but not bad enough to risk fooling with it. A few dings and specks, but overall a very nice cabinet. Definitely an upper crust table radio. 16"W x 9-1/2"H x 9"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $599.00, now $549.00. (0000083)

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. Seven of these have sold on the Radio Attic topping out at $1895. 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)

Zenith 5K037 Farm Radio.

This large Zenith battery-powered farm radio has a cool telescoping whip antenna. The chassis is complete and looks fully restorable. It requires special "A" and "B" batteries to operate. The cabinet is a bit dirty, and might benefit from refinishing. The original speaker is present and appears to be in good condition. If you would like me to restore the chassis to like-new operation, I can do so for an additional $85 (this does not include any cabinet restoration). Buyer pays actual shipping cost (I will use Pirateship.com to minimize shipping cost). Tom Albrecht. E-mail: ctalbrecht@yahoo.com Phone: 408-425-1578 $65.00. (0000164)

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-316 (1938/39). Here is a seldom seen Zenith tabletop model brought out in late 1938 for the 1939 model year. It's a six-tube radio that spent most of its life in Rochester, NY based on the stations identified on a couple of its push buttons. The knobs and pushbuttons are original. The case has been professionally restored in toning lacquers to take it back to its original appearance on a Zenith showroom shelf in 1939. And it has beautiful new period grille cloth, a new power cord, with a new Retro Tronics back. The original escutcheon looks great and does not have any cracks or damage. The chassis has been gone over by my tech, and everything that needed updating and replacing was done. The radio dial lights up and tunes in all my local stations clearly. I have added a link of antenna wire to enhance reception. About 13-1/2"Wx 8"H x 6"D. "ZENITH! The quality goes in before the name goes on!" David Spivey. E-mail: wdspivey@outlook.com ON SALE - was $298.00, now $249.00. (0000123)

Zenith 6-D-317 (1938/1939). 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. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $1,099.00. (0000086)

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. Almost 100 of them have sold on the Radio 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 $379.00. (0000087)

Zenith 6-D-538 (1941). This is one of the "toaster" styled Zenith models from 1941. The six-tube chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, tubes and resistors were checked and alignment peaked. The cabinet has been refinished with period correct lacquer toners and a semi-gloss finish. The original knobs were hopelessly warped so reproduction "Z" knobs are in place now as well as a reproduction back panel. Plays well with its internal loop antenna for local stations. 12"W x 7"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $295.00. (0000117)

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)

Zenith 6-S-322 "Stars and Stripes" (1939). Rare very collectable nicely styled Zenith Model 6-S-322 Stars and Stripes six-tube AM+2SW bands radio. Fully restored with all brand new electrolytic capacitors and other components, and tubes as needed. A new power cord, audio input, safety fuse, and antenna added. Nice style, and lighted dial with brass bezel, and station switched. What a nice clear audio sound this radio produces. The cabinet has been refurbished with a nice "piano" lacquer finish. The grille cloth is new. The reception is real good on all bands. 20"W x 11-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D. Weight about 10 lbs. Shipping cost to be determined at sale. Domestic only. Lenny Bickford. E-mail: radiomannh@radioattic.com $795.00. (0000044)

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.

Zenith 6-S-528 (1941). 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?

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. Six have sold on the Radio Attic topping out at $775. 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 6G601M "Sailboat" (1941). Here is a classic Robert Budlong designed pre-WWII Zenith portable which would look great standing in any collection. Budlong was one of Zenith's classic designers. It is in very nice condition to be 95 years old. It is missing its small drop-down front partial cover, but has all its original parts and is still working and playing, turning in all my local AM stations. The reception is decent when tuned in to my stronger AM stations but could use a recap as there is quite a bit of scratchiness between stations. This model originally was available in five versions: 6G601D Blue and gray Airplane fabric; 6G601L Genuine Top Grain Cowhide; 6G601M Brown Airplane fabric; 6G601MH Brown and Ivory Airplane fabric 6G601ML Simulated Brown Alligator. This Zenith is an AC/DC battery operated portable six-tube BC band receiver. The BC band frequency tuning range is 540 to 1620kHz. This would be a nice focal point displayed in your collection since it would look like a vintage radio instead of a suitcase! It would also be an excellent parts candidate with all its original knobs, chassis, tubes, beautiful dial, sailboat fabric speaker cover, perfect handle, antenna and antenna connection strap. It has a good line cord. Shipping anywhere will be by the most reasonable method. 15"W x 10"H x 7"D. David Spivey. E-mail: wdspivey@outlook.com $72.00. (0000124)

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 as shown. 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.
