Vintage 1932 Century 4-78 Cathedral Radio, Refurbished and Working
vintage
Comments Off
For your consideration , here’s a nice old Century 4-78 four-tube cathedral radio from, I would guess, somewhere around 1932, which is the year it was designed. I’m fairly sure it will be a quite a while before you’ll see another one due to the scarce information available related to it. Apparently the Century Company in Chicago was a contractor that produced radios for other companies. I replaced two tubes and worked on the cabinet and replaced the grill cloth and the two mismatched non-original knobs with two matched non-original knobs. I couldn’t locate a picture of this model to see what the original grill cloth and knobs looked like. The controls work just as they should. The green dial graphic is original. Please look over the pictures carefully to make sure the condition of the radio is acceptable to you. 15″ H x 12″ W x 9 D. Please don’t mess with the electronics unless you’re experienced working on vintage radios due to the presence of high voltages. Of course, please let me know immediately if you have a problem. I’d like you to enjoy this radio as much as I have.

Vintage Cascade Early 30′s 4 Tube AM Radio Refurbished
vintage
Comments Off
AC, 10″ Wide, 14″ Tall, 8 Deep. There is not any Internet information on this radio or its manufacture. The circuitry is of an old design which uses tube numbers 58, 58 47 & 80. My guess is that it was made in 1931 or earlier. The dial numbers go from 0 to 100, with 0 being at 1600Khz and 100 at 540Khz. The radio receives stations well from 1600 to 900Khz, below this will need a longer antenna wire. This radio was repaired, aligned and tested by Toms Antique Radio Repair. It was run contentiously for many hours to make sure that it will last a long time for you. All the power supply and signal capacitors have been replaced. A 1.5 amp fast blow fuse was added for your protection. This is a nice looking and working radio with a unknown history. My guess is that it is very rare.

Vintage 1948 FADA 790 AMFM Radio, Exceptional Condition, Refurbished
vintage
Comments Off
The gold dial is beautiful when lit. The ON/OFF knob is also the tone control, with separate knobs for volume, station selection and band selection. Cabinet, 6 speaker, grill, dial, knobs and back are all original. The crystal clear dial cover is a replacement. 14″ W x 9″ H x 7 D, 10 lbs. Look over the pictures carefully to make sure the condition of this exceptional radio is acceptable to you. They offer a better external description than I could. If you have any questions, please contact me. I ran the radio about a half hour before packing it to make sure it was working properly. Please don’t mess with the electronics unless you’re experienced working on vintage radios due to the presence of high voltages. You probably won’t need to for quite a while with this one, anyway. Since this radio is old, I can’t guarantee anything, but FedX has been doing a great job delivering them undamaged. Of course, please let me know immediately if you have a problem. I’d like you to enjoy this radio as much as I have (and hate to part with). This item is in the category “Consumer Electronics\Vintage Electronics\Vintage Audio & Video\Vintage Radios”.
