Very Rare Working Vintage Stromberg-Carlson Model 430-H AM/SW Tube Radio

Stromberg-Carlson was “The Rolls Royce of Radio” for their quality of engineering design and construction. This model is very rare. This is a large radio and sports nine tubes including a push-pull audio amplifier with 10-inch speaker. It needs an antenna. Also, the push buttons are a little funky, and the plate around the channel viewer is cracked as seen in the pictures. 24-1/2″W x 12-3/4″H x 10D. Thank you for looking.

FM band doesn’t work. Both speakers sound great! Shortwave only works at high end frequency range. Does not seem to work in lower shortwave frequency range. Dual speaker design sounds great! CABINET CONDITION: Cabinet is original factory ivory front plastic with faux wood grain simulated on top and sides. No cracks, chips or major scratches or missing pieces. Thanks for considering??

Vintage Zenith Model 6S439 Tabletop Pushbutton AM/SW Tube Radio

Vintage Zenith Model 6-S-439. Tabletop pushbutton radio that is in good candidate for restoration. Radio does not power up, so it will need to be restored electronically to get it functioning. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly but the dial indicator does not work and will need to be restrung. The power cord is a replacement in very good condition. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax. There is a minor veneer chip on the top rear left edge – see photo for details. The grill cloth is in excellent condition, with no rips or holes, but is a period replacement. The bass and treble push buttons are chipped, but still presents well. Highly desireable Zenith radio to add to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

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

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

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.
