The chassis moves around a little in the cabinet, I didn’t look but possibly missing or loose screws.

Vintage Hard To Find Art Deco Superior AM/SW Small Tombstone Radio Looks Great

Comments Off
Radio only softly hums when turned on, so it will need some work to get it functioning. All of the tubes tested good on my Eico Model 625 tube tester. The chassis is very clean with no evidence of rust or corrosion. The power cord is in good condition, still plyable. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax and the burled walnut front presents quite well. The only minor defect is a small veneer sliver like chip at the top of the radio at the front edge that is difficult to detect. The cabinet is labeled “Superior” on the front and numbered 15870 on the rear. I could not find this radio listed on Radio Museum or Radio Attic’s web sites. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I can determine the maker. Quite unique in that it is a short version of a tombstone radio. Unit stands 10.5″ tall, 12″ wide and 7 deep. Grill cloth has a tiny tear on the lower right and is a bit loose. Both knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator functions properly as well. The bands are selected by a knob in the rear of the radio. Great looking radio to add to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

Vintage MCM Zenith Model 6S511 Tabletop AM/SW Radio Working

Vintage, mid-century Zenith Model 6S511 that is in working condition. I was able to receive stations quite readily by using the push button feature (the dial indicator does not function when using the knob – it will need to be restrung) and the reception was good, with minimal background noise. The teal/robin egg blue color on the body is not original, but it was well done. Some of the paint is scraped off on the ride side near the front edge (see photos), revealing the original black color, which is very desirable. The radio still presents well on a shelf or you can strip it down to it’s original black or repaint the body. There are no cracks to the body. The power cord appears to be a replacement, as there is an on/off switch on the cord. Attractive radio that will be a fine addition to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

Vintage Philco Model 37-89 AM/SW Cathedral Radio Working! Perfect For Restoring

Comments Off
Vintage Philco Model 37-89 Cathedral radio that is a good candidate for restoration. I was not able to receive anything on the shortwave band, but that is not unusual for this area, as the signal is not strong. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax, but it is showing wear on the front and there is a veneer chip on the left front edge that has been patched with wood putty. The power cord is in good condition. The grill cloth is in good condition, with a small tear on the right side. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly, but the bottom center knob is not original. The dial indicator functions properly as well, but the plastic dial indicator is broken and has been taped together. The chassis does have some surface rust, but nothing out of the ordinary. Great looking cathedral radio to add to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.
