Vintage 1950's Packard Bell 602 Tube Radio (Recapped & Working)

Up for sale is an early 50′s Packard Bell 602 Tube Radio. I recapped and aligned this set some years back. I think I also had to replace the speaker. I tested the set and it is indeed working as it should, although the volume control is a bit scratchy so it likely needs some cleaner. I’m just getting rid of this guy as I have too many sets that are just sitting around. It’s time for him to go to a new home. The cabinet could be in a little better shape, some scuffs and scratches, but if you know how to refinish them then this should be a fun one. The knobs have some white stuff on them, not sure what it is, but it’s due to the type of plastic used, I cleaned them a while ago but it just came back, so they’ll need to be cleaned again. Oh, the Packard Bell emblem is also missing the letters’ell’. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’m open to offers too, so don’t hesitate to send one.

Offered for your consideration, is this wonderful Bakelite Silvertone tube radio – model number 6CH132.881. It was manufactured in the mid 50′s. The radio has a very unique brass lattice work and shiny brass dial with red numbering It has been well taken care of not a break or crack. The Chocolate Bakelite case in near mint condition with only a few small scratches – it’s looking good. As with all my radios it is electrically fit – the tubes are strong, a ll of the original wax/paper capacitors have been replaced and the cord has been replaced with a polarized plug. Also featuring: nice body styling; original knobs – all work smoothly; an internal loop antenna; brass lattice grill and the dial is in very good condition – clean and clear. This is a 5-tube set. There is a working dial light. The original back is present. The measurements are: 11″ across, 6.5″ high and 6 wide. This set will definitely give years of good service. Every vintage tube radio I sell has been thoroughly serviced – tubes tested, components checked and then the unit is lubricated and cleaned inside and out. The work performed can be seen in the pictures of the chassis and/or found in the radio description.

They were schematically and cosmetically the same except for the colors. The radio was produced for the 1949/1951 market. This example is a beautiful ivory colored plastic radio with attached electric alarm clock. Please note, there are some examples of this radio for sale around the internet characterizing the case as’plaskon’. It is not; it is high gloss plastic. We have gone through this radio thoroughly to restore its operations to the specifications originally designed and as set out in the Sam’s Photofact schematic for the specific model. New components were installed throughout the chassis to replace the old paper and wax parts and other electrical components were replaced where required for proper and safe operation. There is a newer polarized power cord. The clock was cleaned on the outside, the motor removed, drained of its old lubricant, internally cleaned and filled with new synthetic oil specifically made for clocks. The movement was also cleaned and all pivot points lubricated. As a result, the clock runs accurately and noiselessly. The top clock knob shows some surface wear and both knobs were previously glued on and we did not attempt to remove them as they work correctly. The radio is turned on and off using the lower clock knob. The case has no structural damage (cracks or chips) and is in fine condition. The 511 came in a lovely high gloss ivory finish as shown in the photos and while there are a few elements of wear light scratches, a couple of small marks, etc. , it presents itself much better than its 75 year age would suggest. We have lightly polished the case and given it a coat of protective carnauba wax so it is ready to use out of the box. The attached video provides illustration of its clear reception. There is little to no background hum. 5 1/2 inches deep. 5 1/2 inches high.
