Rare Vintage 1920′s Gershon Super Five Tube Battery Operated Table Top Radio
rare
Comments Off
Rare, vintage 1920′s battery operated tube radio that is marked on the front panel “Gershon Super Five”. The unit could be from a small local company that has yet to be documented. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I can determine the origin of this piece. The radio appears very similar to the Steinite Velvetone Super-Five. The radio is untested, but it should not take much to get this piece working. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly, but the center knob is cracked. The front bakelite panel has no chips or cracks and the lettering shows minimal wear. All five of the 01A tubes are present. The radio measures 20″ long, 10.5″ deep at the base and about 8.25 tall. The radio has a slant front, with the base deeper than the top. The radio is painted black inside and out. The interior is very clean and all of the components appear to be present. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own this great early and unique piece that is a must have for your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

Very cool old radio. Transmit is crystal controlled and receive tuning is variable, so you can spot your frequency in or talk split channel, and listen in between the channels. It is missing some tubes, however it does have all of the transmit crystals. Doesn’t have a power cable or mic. Unable to test anything.

This Beautiful and very rare in this condition radio is in great working order. The previous owner was a lifelong collector and restorer of old radios and watches, This solid mahogany wood cabinet is a beauty. Lovely grain and figuring and works great. Lights up and sound is crisp. The dials are also moving freely. The curtain burner, as there known resistive power cord has some fraying at the entrance of the box. That’s on you to know or look up. Case measures just 8 1/4 X 5 1/4 X 5 inches.
