Comments Off










I obtained about 80 tube radios from an estate sale. I will be listing these over the next few weeks so please see my other listings. This listing is for a VERY RARE Jewel Radio Corp. Brand out of Long Island City NY. Brown bakelite with cream, gold, and blue front. The original back cover is still with the radio. All original knobs are still there and not missing. The dial cover has no cracks or chips. The grill is in good shape with no cracks or chips. The cord should be replace as it has one worn spot. The radio has not been plugged in/tested due to this. The radio sits nice and flat with no wobble. One of the back corners has a chip as seen in pictures. These radios are highly collectable and are getting harder to find online. It will be protected well and insured. Let me know if you have questions. Location D5, FBMP, MER.

Vintage 1940s ZENITH LONG DISTANCE TUBE RADIO No. 6G001Y Tested Working

Vintage 1940s ZENITH “LONG DISTANCE” TUBE RADIO No. Tested and in working condition. These radios are early postwar Zenith portables with loctal tubes and use Zenith “Wavemagnet” antennas that have several tubes, including the 1LA6 converter, a loctal version of the 1L6 (then considered more expensive). The wavemagnet in these models has an interesting art deco design on the back side. That side would be visible to the outside world if the antenna were to be used with suction cups on a window. Chassis number on this 6G001Y is 6C40, serial number T980025. The speaker is stamped with 49U512 assumed to be a date code. A schematic can be found in Rider volume 15, Zenith pages 30-31. These may be downloaded from Nostalgiaair. See the home page for the Nostalgiaair URL. It is highly recommended to test the circuitry with an ohmmeter before applying power. The set can be cleaned with white waterless hand cleaner. The cover material is relatively easy to clean. A coat of old-fashioned black carnauba wax shoe polish can help restore some of the luster. Contact cleaner can be used on the tube pins and sockets.
