The Air-Way Type F is a rare, four-tube regenerative radio receiver manufactured in 1923 and 1924 by the Air-Way Electric Appliance Corp. The company, which made vacuum cleaners, briefly entered the radio market during the early 1920s. Production: The Type F model was made in both 1923 and 1924, though its primitive and compact design did not hold up well over time. Circuit: The receiver uses RF amplification rather than regeneration, as Air-Way did not have a license for the Armstrong regenerative circuit. Performance: These sets were not known for their performance, with one contemporary report noting that they “acquired a reputation for picking up more dust than radio stations”. Tuning was reportedly not very selective or sensitive. Known variants: At least two versions were produced, one with two rheostats and another with three. Collector’s item: Due to their rarity, the Air-Way Type F is a highly sought-after vintage radio. Power supply: The radio is an early battery-powered set, and specialized “ARBEE II type” power supplies may be required to run them. AI responses may include mistakes.

This is my last Crosley 50! This 8.5″ x 5″ x 6 set is one of the most iconic early radios ever made. It was one of the first commercial radios. It used headphones as the single tube (01-A) was not enough to power a speaker. This is a working set that has been checked out by my Tech Friend Tom. It is in Excellent physical condition. The lettering is very nice. You supply the batteries or power supply and earphones. This set comes with a hook up diagram. I don’t think you can do much better in owning a 100-year-old piece of Early Radio History! FROM AI ON THE NET. The 1920s Crosley Model 50 radio is a 1-tube regenerative receiver, introduced around 1925, that was noteworthy for its simplicity and affordability. In an era when most radios required multiple dials for tuning, the Model 50 pioneered a simplified single-dial control for ease of use. Single-tube design: Unlike more complex radios of the era, the. Model 50 used a single type 01-A tube for regeneration. Regenerative circuit: The radio’s circuitry, manufactured under license from inventor Edwin Armstrong, provided radio-frequency amplification through regeneration. This was a cost-effective design that worked well for amateur (Ham) and experimental radio use. Battery-powered: The radio required both a 6-volt and a 22.5-volt battery to operate. Simplified tuning: The famous “single dial” or “one-dial” tuning was a major advancement, ganging the radio’s tuning capacitors together. This allowed a user to tune in a station by turning one main dial instead of three. External speaker or headphones: Early regenerative sets like the Model 50 did not include a built-in speaker. Instead, they required high-impedance headphones or an external speaker, such as a Crosley “Musicone” or “Dynacone, ” for audio output. “Book-type” tuning condenser: The radio featured a unique “book-type” tuning capacitor, in which two foil-covered “mud” plates hinged together like a book. Turning the large front dial closed the plates to adjust the capacitance and frequency. Crosley introduced the Model 50 as a mass-market, affordable radio, reflecting the company’s commitment to making radio technology accessible to more people. Today, the Model 50 is a collectible antique radio, cherished for its simplicity and the historical context it represents. AI responses may include mistakes. BLURB, INFORMATION, and BOILERPLATE.

It works like when it was made and is in absolutely beautiful condition. For a detailed description of the radio and the work done, please continue reading: Initial inspection: This radio came to me 7-20-2025 in the condition you see in my photos. Its previous owner said he fixed it, and it worked, but FM stopped working soon after. I guess they gave up? Research: Radiomuseum says this radio was made in 1955. That is likely for that particular model number. I have seen many variations of this design. Painted, white checkerboard grill, different colored knobs. Lots of different trims. Clean and glossy, complete and original right down to its “Pegged” back retainers. Its cabinet is made of real Bakelite (not brown plastic). I looked it over very carefully and could only find the very tiniest little ding anywhere. Inside the radio was as clean as a whistle. Its speaker appeared mint. Repair: I carefully disassembled the radio and found it was newly recapped with the highest quality replacement electrolytic capacitors one could ever use; Nichicon Orange Drops. They are excellent for this application and have an extremely long lifespan. The previous works was good. As I looked it over I found something I would have addressed… Perhaps they didn’t know? … It still had its original selenium rectifier in circuit. I have the schematic for this model and checked the rectifiers output voltage…. Yep. Its DC voltage was about 40% too low. FM is intolerant of excessively low voltage. I took the old rectifier out of circuit and added a new modern silicone diode and a corresponding ceramic dropping resistor. All test point voltages are now as specified by schematics. While I had the schematic at hand, I double checked the previous work. Tested, FM was then working excellent… Next I checked its tubes. I wrote down how they tested, and will add that information at the bottom of description, but suffice it to say, the previous owner must have already checked its tubes and replaced any they thought they should. All of its tubes tested very strong. Like new. I checked its alignment. Added a drop of control cleaner to its volume control and reassembled the radio. Performance: Volume control goes smoothly from totally silent to overload loud. For strong local stations it produces a sound that is Clean and Clear. It has a fair amount of base and sounds really good. It tuned all the weak stations in my area. I tested both bands. Its Bakelite cabinet is as reflective as a grand piano. Its cloth grill is really nice. It has silver threads that sparkle. Serviced = I clean the volume control, check the radio’s alignment, and check its current draw. I also fix whatever else needs attention. Karl : _ Tube testing results: Tube Layout: 7 tube w/selenium rectifier R. 58 is good minimum. Note: All the tubes except for the RCA appear to be the original Zenith tubes. If so, and considering the overall clean original condition, this is likely a low-hour set.
