The cord is stiff in places and some wires are showing in places, plugged it in and got nothing, so ls is. The football front frill needs repainting. The food Ball has some blemishes in it and some of the paint looks like it has scratches but not sure, see photos. The base needs repainting also.

Sparton Model 132 Vintage Football Tube Radio From 1950 Restored Works Well
sparton
Comments Off
MODEL, YEAR, FEATURES: This oblong bullet shaped radio got the football name for obvious reasons. It was made in Jackson, Michigan by the Sparks Withington company, producer of some of the most sought after radios. They produced it in several colors and trim variations in 1950, but none as colorful as this reddish maroon Model 132 with its brass trimmed knobs and dial pointer. For a 68 year old appliance, its looking remarkably nice, and has been well cared for. Controls are simple Volume and Tuning. Photos will represent it well; note: my outside photos in skylight make the cabinet appear a bit more red than the indoor shots. CONDITION, SERVICING, PERFORMANCE: The glossy maroon Styrene plastic cabinet is in excellent undamaged condition as seen in the photos. The only scratches I found were on the underside, well out of the normal viewing area. There are no chips or cracks, the perforated metal face is free of dents, and the dial scale is free of scratches with sharp graphics and numerals; radio displays nicely. The electronics have been recently gone through with tuner mechanics lubed, and all the typical checks performed for any out of tolerance components or defective wiring. Radio is equipped with a sensitive loop antenna inside, and receives all our stations with no trouble. Theres a clip on the backboard where an external aerial can be connected to receive outlying stations. Knobs are correct, original fasteners are present, and the small factory tube layout diagram is intact and legible on the backboard. The backboard has been reinforced on several mounting holes to stay firmly fastened. Radio is clean inside and out with no dust build-up or odors, and the five tubes inside are easily accessed if needed. It would make a great gift not only to football fans, but to anyone appreciating a vintage nostalgic working piece of Americana to display and play. Tall, and is 7 in. Deep from the front of the knobs to the backboard old 6.5 Oz. Coke bottle in photo placed to give sense of scale.

Vintage Australian Cream Bakelite ASTOR GR Football Valve Radio

Comments Off
Present your best items with Auctiva’s FREE Scrolling Gallery. Vintage Australian Cream Bakelite ASTOR GR Football Valve Radio. Here we have a classic Astor Cream coloured Bakelite model GR valve radio. Commonly these are known as “The football”. The radio is in going order. The volume control and tuning mechanism work as intended. This is a very simple two valve plus rectifier radio and was marketed to receive local stations. The radio does have a fair hum of background noise in use. The clear Perspex wrap around tuning band has some vertical melted burns across as shown. The case is free of chipping or cracks, the original cloth mesh that sits behind the tuning band has slumped at the top, could easily be rectified once you gained access from within? The football is 23cm across height 15cm depth 17cm weight 3.6 kilos approx. Astor made radio receivers in Victoria. The firm was innovative in that it offered radios in varying colours compared to other companies which offered the standard wood stains. During 1933, Astor produced the first of its Mickey Mouse series of radios, and in 1936 introduced its first Bakelite Mickey Mouse radio with a cartoon of the famous rodent on the dial. Early brochures featured a picture of Walt Disney and the mouse giving their “seal of approval”. However this was not done with permission from the Walt Disney Company and Astor became involved in a long-running court battle with Disney over the illegal use of the Mickey Mouse name. The result was that Astor was forbidden to use the name “Mickey Mouse” for its radios, but it continued to produce the Astor Mickey radio for the next 16 years. Then please read on!
