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    Phone: 501-551-4277   ON SALE - was $156.00, now $139.00.  (0000121)

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    Phone: 501-551-4277   ON SALE - was $289.00, now $239.00.  (0000122)

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    Phone: 501-551-4277   ON SALE - was $298.00, now $249.00.  (0000123)

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    Phone: 501-551-4277  $72.00.  (0000124)
