Radio powers up, but I could detect a capacitor odor and shut the unit down immediately, so it will need some work to get it functioning. Chassis is very clean with no evidence of rust or corrosion. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator works properly as well. The cloth power cord is in poor condition, taped in spots and will need to be replaced. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax and presents quite well, but the top is showing wear, as well as a small veneer chip on the left side (see photos). The grill cloth is in excellent condition. Also included is an original instruction sheet for this model. With a little bit of restoration work, this radio will be a fine addition to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

Vintage Art Deco Philco Model 37-62 Tabletop Radio Perfect For Restoration
vintage
Comments Off
Vintage, Art Deco Philco Model 37-62, that is a great candidate for restoration. Radio is only able get some static and the volume is low, so it will need to have the capacitors replaced to get it functioning. All of the tubes tested good on my Eico Model 625 tube tester. Chassis is very clean with no evidence of rust or corrosion. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator functions properly as well. A close inspection of the plastic dial indicator reveals that it was broken at one point and repaired with tape/glue. In addition, the light that illuminates the dial indicator is missing. The power cord is in good condition, a little stiff and the grill cloth is in good shape, with no rips or holes. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax. There is some wear to the faux finish on the front face, and a veneer chip along the back edge of the left side of the radio, but overall, the radio still presents well. With a little bit of restoration work, this radio will be a fine addition to your collection. Restored models without the original faux finish have commanded big prices. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

vintage
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.

bendix
Comments Off
This 1947 BENDIX 526A radio has a full and Bakelite case, front, back and all around. The radio is 10 1/2″ long, 6 1/2″ deep and 6 1/2 high – original knobs, orig label on the base – a very nice example. The radio has a crack in the plastic type dial, still there and usable but it has a crack. The radio has a good cord and hums loudly when plugged in – probably a tube but should be serviced. A handsome set with totally rounded ends and curved in every direction.

Vintage Zenith Model 6-S-27 Tombstone Radio Recapped, Perfect For Restoration
vintage
Comments Off
Vintage Zenith Model 6-S-27 Tombstone Radio that is a great candidate for restoration. Radio has been recapped and a new electrical cord has been installed as well. Unfortunately, the unit is still not working – I was only able to get some static noises when I placed a wire to the antenna screw on the rear. The tuning dial is not functioning as well, as it needs a new belt. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax. The veneer on the top is warped and split and will need to be reglued or replaced – or you can leave as is if this is going to be a shelf piece. There is also evidence of some glue along the edge of the top panel. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly. The grill cloth is very good condition, with no tears or holes, but there is some minor staining. Great looking, classic Zenith radio that will be a fine addition to your collection. It is quite heavy, weighing nearly 32lbs, without packaging. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

Restored Antique VINTAGE Westinghouse ATOMIC Jetsons TUBE RADIO WORKS Perfect
restored
Comments Off
Westinghouse H742T4 (1956) – Restored and Working! For Sale – a rare Westinghouse Tube Radio from 1956 – screams mid century modern with its Atomic / Jetsons retro styling – nice size kitchen or table radio – can be plugged in anywhere. This radio has been ELECTRONICALLY RESTORED! All the tubes checked and tested fine, controls cleaned, filter caps replaced as needed. Westinghouse was known for these models and had a large variety of colors to choose from. The sky blue / aqua color isn’t found often in working condition. Only a few blemishes and imperfections. There is a small chip in the plastic on the top left and bottom, but nothing that detracts from the overall look. Add some color to your collection! No cracks, or hairline cracks. All original cosmetically – and electronically restored – you can’t get much better than that. It’s like a time warp back to 1956. The radio brings in stations but you have to go slow to fine tune and it’s internal antenna isn’t very large. A longer wire antenna will bring in more stations but it plays fine without one too. Depends on your local reception too. It has four tubes mounted on a printed circuit board. This radio is reflective of the transition period from tube radios to modern radios as we know them today. Very small sized at about 8-1/2″W x 5-1/2″H x 5D. Great opportunity for a collector of 1950′s era collectibles. Thanks for your interest. The item “Restored Antique VINTAGE Westinghouse ATOMIC Jetsons TUBE RADIO WORKS Perfect” is in sale since Saturday, August 14, 2021. This item is in the category “Consumer Electronics\Vintage Electronics\Vintage Audio & Video\Vintage Radios”. The seller is “radioseek” and is located in Rochester, Michigan. This item can be shipped to United States, Canada.

HTF Vintage Grunow Model 750 Tombstone Radio Perfect For Restoration

Comments Off
Hard to find, vintage Grunow Model 750 “The World Cruiser” Tombstone radio that is a perfect candidate for restoration. Radio powers up, but I immediately saw smoke coming from the chassis, so the radio was shut down. It will obviously need electronic restoration. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax. There are a few pieces of veneer missing along the back edge of the left side of the radio that does not detract from the overall appearance. The radio is missing one knob and the larger knob is chipped and not original to the radio. The hard to find arrow knob is present. The grill cloth is in excellent condition, with no rips or holes. The original cloth power cord is in good condition, with no fraying to the exterior cloth covering. The dial indicator does not function properly – moves slowly or gets stuck, so it will need to be restrung. Great radio to add to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered. The item “HTF Vintage Grunow Model 750 Tombstone Radio Perfect For Restoration” is in sale since Tuesday, May 4, 2021. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “fruithillantiques” and is located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
