Stunning 1933 Zenith Model 715 Tombstone Tube Radio – Fully Restored with Modern Bluetooth Integration. Up for sale is a meticulously restored piece of American radio history: a 1933 Zenith Model 715 tombstone radio. Introduced in the summer of 1933 as part of Zenith’s highly acclaimed “New Challenger” lineup, this premium 8-tube receiver represents the pinnacle of early 1930s design and engineering. This particular unit has been professionally serviced and thoughtfully upgraded to bridge the gap between classic analog warmth and modern convenience. Design & Cabinet Aesthetics. The Model 715 features one of the most celebrated and intricate cabinet designs of the era. The upright tombstone cabinet boasts a gorgeous, matched butt-walnut front overlay framed by elegant architectural pilasters and an exceptionally ornate wooden lattice grille over the speaker cloth. On the front, the beautiful brass escutcheon frames an orange-lit vertical drum dial. Right above the dial sits Zenith’s iconic early mechanical Shadowgraph Tuning Indicator, which projects a narrowing shadow onto a small screen to let you visually tune into a station’s peak resonance. The Chassis & Technical Restoration. Under the hood, this radio features a powerful 8-tube superheterodyne circuit that delivers incredible selectivity and room-filling volume through its heavy-duty 8-inch dynamic speaker. Original Tube Lineup: 58 (RF Amp), 58 (Mixer), 56 (Oscillator), 58 (IF Amp), 55 (2nd Detector/AVC), a pair of 59s running in a push-pull power output configuration, and an 80 rectifier. The Restoration: The chassis has been thoroughly cleaned, tested, and restored. The power section and entire circuit have been checked for stable, safe operation, ensuring those classic filaments glow perfectly and perform reliably. Modern Upgrades: Bluetooth & Aux Input. To make this masterpiece functional for today’s music lovers, a seamless modern upgrade has been installed. Auxiliary Input & Bluetooth Module: An auxiliary input jack has been cleanly integrated into the circuit, complete with an external Bluetooth receiver. The Best of Both Worlds: This allows you to stream your favorite podcasts, Spotify playlists, or internet radio directly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. The audio routes directly through the radio’s legendary push-pull tube amplifier stage, giving your digital music that unmistakable, rich, velvety vintage tone. This unit will be double-boxed, padded extensively with premium packing materials, and fully insured to ensure it arrives at your doorstep in the exact condition it left the bench. Tubes may be wrapped individually inside the cabinet if necessary for safe transit. Don’t miss the chance to own a fully functional, upgraded masterpiece from the golden age of radio engineering!

Model number 1000, Bakelite marble tone surface art deco design. Tubes operated with electric cord plug. All original, please review pictures, and zoom in on. As you can see, there is no cracks or deep scratches nor replaced parts or modifications done. Almost flawless, except for one area on the plastic dial face at the top has blistering on the top edges. I believe this can be replaced.. The on/off switch and dial movement knobs work. I do not try to turn on due to age and old tubes operating system. My radio are for display only.

Radio powers on and all tubes work. They all light up and get warm (including fully functioning magic eye tube). FM reception is working as are both the tape inputs and ouputs, along with the aux speaker output. All 3 speakers are tested and working no issues. Have played all 3 at full volume with full clarity. I could not pull in on any of these and it seems to be a common with these. Cosmetically it’s in pretty nice shape I’ve highlighted all of the flaws. Out of the box this will pull in fm and work perfectly and also allow you to hook up an auxiliary source (including bluetooth) with the proper adapters and an auxiliary speaker should you want to. It’s a real gem. I don’t have time to diagnose the issues with the other frequency bands.

Rare Small Motorola Pixie Portable Tube Radio Vintage Early 1950s Model 45P1. Untested because I don’t have the batteries to test it. The inside looks very clean, SEE PICTURES. Tube Lineup: It uses a high-performance superheterodyne circuit with four tubes: one miniature (1R5) and three subminiature tubes (1AH4, 1AJ5, and 1AG4) that are roughly the diameter of a pencil. Motorola Pixie Model 45P1, a notable piece of mid-century electronics history introduced around 1955. Despite its compact size, which resembles early transistor models, it is actually a portable tube radio using specialized subminiature vacuum tubes. Model Variants: The 45P1 designation refers specifically to the Ebony (Black) color variant. Audio: It features a 2-inch permanent magnet speaker protected by a gold-toned metal grille. Portability: Measuring approximately 6″ x 4″ x 2, it was one of the slimmest tube-based portables of its era before transistor technology became dominant. This radio is a “battery-only” set and requires two specific power sources to operate. “A” Battery (Filament): One standard 1.5V “C” cell battery. “B” Battery (Plate): A 45V DC battery. The back cover seems to be missing it’s hinges and a piece of the plastic is missing. That is why the price is lower then others listed.
