Arvin 760T (1953).

Mid-century modern all white Arvin model. This six-tuber sports its original grille cloth and painted finish on a crack free cabinet. It still retains its shine after 73 years. There is one blemish area on the side where there was a 1 inch diameter smiley face sticker affixed. There was some minor paint loss incurred to remove it that was touched up with matching paint. Barely noticeable and does not detract. The chassis was completely recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. An aux 3.5mm cord was attached at no extra cost for playing your own content through the radio. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in stick antenna. Has a variable tone control knob in the center. 14" W x 7-1/4" T x 7-1/2" D Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $119.00. (0000225)

Esoteric sound professional restoration turntable deck phonograph (Rek-O-Kut, Technics).

SOLD! The Esoteric Sound Professional Restoration Deck is a specialty multi-speed turntable built by Esoteric Sound for archiving, transferring, and restoring vintage records, 78s, and broadcast transcriptions. Built specifically for audio archivists, collectors, and hobbyists needing to play rare and non-standard record formats. This unit is in the same family as the high end Technics and Rek-O-Kut professional turntables. Unlike standard consumer turntables that only offer 33? and 45 RPM, this restoration deck also features multiple or continuous/extended speed options (including 78 RPM and specialized speeds for acoustic-era and broadcast discs 71.29 rpm, 76.59 rpm, 78.26 rpm and 80 rpm). Esoteric Sound (based in Illinois) paired these turntables with specialized vertical/lateral switches for Pathé/Edison records. Highly regarded by 78 RPM and transcription disc collectors who need precise speed control and accurate tracking of grooved vintage media. Comes with grounded audio cables, a separate headshell & cartridge for 78 rpm (the 33 & 45 microgroove headshell is installed) and two each extra new LP and 78rpm stylus. Unit is missing the dust cover. Plays and works like new. My only reason for selling is I upgraded to a 16" transcription capable deck. Was $450 new. Measures 16-12"W x 14-1/2"D x 3"H. $200.00.

Firestone 4A-12 "Narrator" (1948).

SOLD! Rare large Bakelite cabinet table model with both AM & FM! Most radios with FM in 1948 were large consoles. Coupled with a small tube count for an AM/FM radio at the time, this makes this a unique set both in design and circuitry. As a result, typical of early FM, it is not super sensitive on that band. It will receive strong local FM stations (there is an attached long wire to the FM ANT terminal that can be extended for better FM reception). AM receives strong across the dial. The radio has been recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. New line cord and aux 3.5mm cord attached for playing your own content through the radio. Has a two-position tone control. The natural finish cabinet has a nice marble swirl pattern throughout. There is one small stress crack that isn't all the way through to the outside (visible in the left side photo towards the back). It doesn't detract at all from the esthetic appeal of this very large, molded cabinet. Rare model that doesn't turn up often (I've never seen one before). The chassis was made by Detrola for Firestone. One of just a few built by Detrola with FM and made just before Detrola closed their operation. 14"W x 9-1/4"H x 9-1/4"D. $199.00. (0000223)

General Electric 410 (1951).

Six-tube wood cabinet GE that has been gone through with new filter and paper caps, new line cord, strong tested set of tubes so that it receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. Or use the 3.5mm aux cord included at no extra cost to play your own content through the radio. Controls were cleaned and lubricated. The off-on switch works a bit hard but clicks on and off as it should. Cabinet finish is all original as is the grille cloth. There are various little nicks and dings on the cabinet consistent with 75 years of age, but it displays well. Too nice to refinish. Original back is present. A basic wood cabinet post war radio with nice graphics on the dial scale. 13-1/4"W x 9-1/4"H x 8"D. Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $99.00. (0000226)

Beautiful vintage Zenith console radio dating to 1941. This is the highly collectible Zenith 10-S-567 model.
