When I plugged in and turn left knob, it turns on. I hear humming and screeching noise like a siren when I push any of the six wood buttons. The right knob turns, but DOES NOT MOVE THE NEEDLE ON THE RADIO. Cannot read the complete model number on back. Refer to photos on back and use your own judgment. Has scratches on the wood throughout. Missing one screw in the bottom, as seen in photos. 10 1/2 long x 8 3/4 high (bottom to top of wood handle) x 6 deep.

Detrola Wood Tabletop Tube Radio 212 Glowing Green Eye Vintage Art Deco 1939

Comments Off
Detrola Wood Tabletop Tube Radio 212 Glowing Green Eye Vintage Art Deco 1939. X 7.5 tall. Following were not tested (as my tube tester is fairly simple and these do not appear in the guide). Original wood case is complete with minimal wear; finish has been given a light wax polish. The clear plastic face cover is intact, it curves out slightly and does not seem to have ever been forcefully depressed or bent. Cracks at the mid level from the left / right edges (which do not reach across fully). The fabric speaker cover not faded, not torn but a bit warped in the lowest section. Speaker appears to be original; not checked. Original power plug; replacement with a polarized / grounded plug is recommended. No back cover (which I suspect is as produced). Original schematic on bottom. The tuning knob causes the dial to turn smoothly, and the yellow face lights when on. No light from the green eye. No sound is produced. United States of America (USA). Broadcast Receiver – or past WW2 Tuner. 6: 6A7 6D6 6Q7G 25L6G 6G5 25Z5. Superheterodyne (common); ZF/IF 456 kHz; 2 AF stage(s). Broadcast and Short Wave (SW). Power type and voltage. AC/DC-set / 105-125 Volt. Electro Magnetic Dynamic LS (moving-coil with field excitation coil). Table model, low profile (big size). A rescue from an estate in metro Detroit Michigan. Interesting vintage/estate items that were too nice to trash or give to a rummage sale. I want/hope they find new homes with appreciative owners/collectors. And by no means an? In books, silver, ceramics, comic books and so forth. So while I try to describe them in some detail and provide representative photos you will not see them with specific condition grades. Most of these items are used, vintage, so some wear is to be expected. Again, if I can detect any specific damage or repairs I will note them; my tendency is to emphasize negative condition issues. See item description for calculating cost. For very small or light-weight items (or very heavy), non-priority may be investigated as alternatives. Most of the time I will? Determined by the weight and distance. The item “Detrola Wood Tabletop Tube Radio 212 Glowing Green Eye Vintage Art Deco 1939″ is in sale since Sunday, December 6, 2020.

VTG (1937) Detrola 175E Broadcast & Shortwave Tube Radio with Electronic Tuning

Comments Off
This is a rare radio that features an electronic tuning dial! The radio powers on when plugged in and turned on I was able to hear a loud hum. It was not hooked up to an external antenna. He backlit dial light works nicely and looks awesome when lit up! I pressed a couple of the tuning presets and the electronic tuning mechanism seemed to be working as it should be! He wood cabinet is nice and solid and the finish looks really nice. There are some minor imperfections like you might expect on a piece from this era. All of the various dials and switches seem to be working as they should be. As you can see from the pictures, the chassis looks clean but the radio has been in storage for many years so I’m sure that it could use a good/thorough cleaning. I do not have the proper equipment to test this radio any further. Please be sure to preview all of the pictures so that you can determine the condition for yourself. The pictures were taken later in the day so the flash kicked in! Just a FYI on why some of the pics look a little more shiny.

Detrola Vintage AM/SW Radio Model 568 Aria Restored

Many of those radios got banged up quite a bit, but this particular one is still in excellent condition at 72 years old and is quite a find! The leatherette/vinyl covering over wood is still supple with good, deep hunter green color. No damage at all. The chrome face sort of speaks for itself with the reflected images in the photos. It has the original knobs and looks almost new. I say almost, because as with most of this model, the “Aria” stencil that was between the dial face and knobs was polished away at some point. It has a new replacement back panel. The chassis has been serviced and tested with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced. Tubes and resistors were replaced as needed. The electrical contacts and controls were detailed cleaned and lubricated. A new power cord and plug were installed. For Shortwave, a longer antenna wire will be needed. It will make a great display and conversation piece for many decors. Now that it is electronically restored, it will last for many more years of enjoyment. The item “Detrola Vintage AM/SW Radio Model 568 Aria Restored” is in sale since Tuesday, March 20, 2018. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “holman9099″ and is located in Homestead, Pennsylvania.

Detrola Vintage Record Player Tube Radio And Recorder Antique Phonograph

Nice condition, with pretty good wood and trimming, not easy to find this model with so many parts in good condition. This model has 4 knobs under the radio station display. When plugging in the machine and turning the on off knob the player makes an obvious on sound. When turning the knob for radio you hear more of a buzzing sound, it probably only needs an antenna. When turning the knob to record the fan goes on and the turntable attempts to spin but barely goes it may just need some grease. All mechanical parts look like they are present. All wires look like they are connected to where they belong except for what looks like a part of the radio antenna. I noticed that what I think is the knob (On the left side panel) for the radio, as shown in picture of interior, the rubber grommet looks like it disconnected from the main pulley, I tried to push it back on but it needs more force. I suspect this only needs a minimum of work to get this up and running for all functions.
