Vintage vacuum tube radio, maker unknown, restored and serviced, fully working
vintage
Comments Off
The make, model, and country of production are all unknown, but this vintage vacuum tube radio has been restored and serviced and is in perfect working order. This is a vintage vacuum tube radio of unknown maker (the power transformer is labeled “SEIDENSHA RADIO WORKS / MELODY”), which has been restored, serviced, and is in perfect working order. In order to give life to the item again, we have restored it to its original condition as it was when we first acquired it (electrical surgery), and we are auctioning it in the hope that it will be rehabilitated and put back into society. The exterior case is coated with oil stainless steel and varnished in the same color to bring out the grain of the wood, and although there are some signs of use due to the passage of time since it was first acquired, such as the missing back cover, there are two substitute dial knobs, and the speaker cloth (cloth) has been reupholstered and replaced. The tubes used are old ST tubes “UY-56 / UX-26B / UX-26B / KX-12F”, 4 tubes in total. The dials are operated by a “power switch” on the left side of the case, and “for main varicons / for playback varicons” from the top of the right front part. The main restoration work this time was to restore the chassis to its original state by removing rust with a scraper, applying oil stainless steel, and varnishing, The power switch had poor contact, which was repaired by applying contact resurrection agent / Replaced the power cord with outlet, speaker cord, and pilot lamp cord / Repaired the center heater bias wires of two UX-26Bs supplied from the power transformer, which were broken in the middle / The power supply choke coil was broken, and a 3K? /4W type resistor was installed / A 3K? /4W type resistor was installed and restored / A 1:3 step-up transformer was disconnected between B and P, so an equivalent transformer was installed / One UX-26B was in NG condition, so it was replaced with a good condition product / An electrolytic capacitor was in NG condition, so a new 22? F 450V x 2 was replaced / A horseshoe speaker was in NG condition, so a new 22? F 450V x 2 was replaced / A 1:3 transformer was in NG condition, so it was replaced with a good condition product. 2 new 22? F 450V speakers / The horseshoe speaker was missing, replaced with a new one in good condition / Removed the antenna coil, checked all the cords and replaced the wiring coverings / Installed the appropriate resistors and adjusted the plate voltage of each vacuum tube / The space between the varicon fins was corroded, cleaned the space between the fins and adjusted the position of the shafts. The shaft position was adjusted and the condition was restored. The inside of the chassis has been cleaned as well. Please check the condition of the item in the photos. New – Unused – Excellent – Very Good – Good – Acceptable Condition: Good. You cannot change your address after placing an order. Package: We will carefully pack your order in a box or envelope. We will not respond to unreasonable requests for gifts or declared amounts.

This is a vintage vacuum tube radio of unknown maker. In order to give the product another life, we have restored it in the same condition as when it was first acquired (electrical surgery), and we are auctioning it in the hope that it will return to society anew. We hope that you will understand and accept this item for sale. The exterior case, which makes the most of the wood grain by applying oil stain and varnish of the same color, is in good condition with two dial knobs and back cover, although there are some signs of use due to the passage of time. The speaker was originally a horseshoe speaker, but due to coil disconnection, a “permanent speaker (GENERAL PD-50108) and output transformer” in good condition were installed. The speakers were originally horseshoe speakers, but due to a broken coil, a permanent speaker (GENERAL PD-50108) and output transformer were installed, and a wooden pedestal was newly made due to the change in the speaker diameter size. The dials and other controls are located on the left side of the case, and the upper part of the front case is for the main varicontroller and the lower part for the playback varicontroller. The main restoration work this time is replacement of power cord & speaker cord for safety consideration, replacement of electrolytic capacitor with new 22? F 250V x2 / 10? F 50V x1 (since it was in NG condition), replacement of relay lugs to restore the condition, re-soldering of 3 to 4 soldered-out parts, and re-soldering of each of the varicon and other parts. Soldering / Oil and maintenance are performed to each circumference part such as varicon / “Radio (upper) – PU (lower) switch and external input PU terminal” are added on the upper left side of the back cover Mono sound, but you can listen to audio from CD, iPhone, etc. / Please adjust audio etc. By the additional device side. And made it a fully functional product. How about listening to the nostalgic sound of a vintage vacuum tube radio of unknown maker? The size is 34.5cm wide / 24cm high / 20cm deep, and the weight is about 4Kg. Please check the condition of the item in the photos. New – Unused – Excellent – Very Good – Good – Acceptable Condition: Good. You cannot change your address after placing an order. Package: We will carefully pack your order in a box or envelope. We will not respond to unreasonable requests for gifts or declared amounts.

VTG 1930s PHILCO WOOD CATHEDRAL TUBE RADIO 37-61 TABLETOP WORKS NEEDS SERVICED
1930s
Comments Off
VINTAGE PHILCO 37-61 TUBE RADIO. Antique Philco 37-61 radio quick demo of it powered on. Video will open in a new window. Using the mobile app? It appears it has had previous work done. I did not take apart to inspect the bottom area. In the top of the chassis there is a hole where a rectifier or capacitor tube probably would have been so I’m assuming it was replaced at some point and is probably replaced behind or below (I’m not a radio or electronics person, so only going on assumptions that because the radio is somewhat working, it must not be missing an important part). It has some clipping noises and weird inflections of sound at times but see video where I got it to tune in a radio station and I turn the dial a bit but couldn’t tune in much else. I did hear someone talking in a foreign language once but I didn’t capture that in the video. I can’t find an exact match to the design of the front of the radio so it may have been refinished at some point, maybe just the bottom half below the speaker cut-outs OR maybe that was a style, as if it were re-done on the lower half, you would think you would see/feel a significant separation where the what looks like original finish on the upper half meets the black line and different painted finish lower half. To me the upper half and the vertical center part of the lower half look original to me. You be the judge, but it does look good even if has been refinished, so I believe this would be a good candidate to go through and get fully working. It measures 17″ tall and the base is 13 5/8″x9. There are 30 pictures to look through plus the video. GREAT ITEM, GREAT COLLECTIBLE! This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “chami2112″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States, Canada, Bahamas, Uruguay.

Vintage Zenith 6D030 AM Vacuum Tube Radio Working Serviced Recent Recap
vintage
Comments Off
- This is clean and is in great working condition. This has been recently serviced with a recap (capacitors replaced) by an older experienced radio technician. I wish I knew half of what he knows as it would come in handy for my vintage tube guitar amps. I believe the power cord may have been replaced. The brass plate is in very good condition – the top view does not have that dark area on the left. It was hard to get a better photo using my marginal lighting conditions. The cabinet has some light scratches which I didn’t try to wipe it down with tinted cleaner. I’ll leave anything like that to the next owner who might want to keep as is. I assume that the finish is original but I’m no expert. To me, this is an Eames design and has great styling. The dial face cover is warped. As you can see, the four rubber feet have deteriorated. The volume pot is a little scratchy when going through the volume range; it clears up nicely when needed by just tweaking the knob slightly. It sounds good and gets loud. The red on light works fine and is quite bright, really enhances the appearance. The two nice concentric control dials for tuning and on/off volume controls work well. I think that you will like this radio. Please look at all of the photos carefully and ask any questions you may have. This item is in the category “Consumer Electronics\Vintage Electronics\Vintage Audio & Video\Vintage Radios”. The seller is “mk9001″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

Nice Vintage 1940′s Zenith 6g05 Tube Bakelite Am Radio Serviced Works Great
nice
Comments Off
The model number on this stunning looking radio is 6G05 & I believe it was produced in the 1948 era. This was an extremely popular radio when it was introduced in 1940′s & still is by today’s standards. The cabinet on this beauty is made of bakelite or think plastic & it is a Deep Dark Rich Chocolate Brown in color. The cabinet has been cleaned & polished which sill retains it’s original sheen or shine & that shine is now a mirror glass shine that keeps going & going & going like the energizer bunny HOWEVER THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CRACKS IN THE CABINET THAT HAVE BEEN SECURED FROM THE INSIDE. The metal Silver front round dial scale ring with Black Graphic’s & a Very Cool Looking Large Brass Metal dial pointer is in excellent looking condition that adds a very nice touch to the style of the cabinet. This is a nice looking radio that just POPS OUT AT YOU to say the least. I that I have taken many pictures & all pictures can be supersized so you may get a good view at this spectacular looking & working radio. The plastic elastic stretch handle on top is in fair condition with some minor splits. The SUPPORT Brace/Bracket underneath the elastic stretch handle is in fine condition, HOWEVER I PERSONALLY “WOULD NOT” CARRY THIS RADIO LIKE THERE WAS A HANDLE, I PERSONALLY “WOULD NOT” USE THIS HANDLE TO CARRY AROUND THIS RADIO IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM JUST MY OPINION. The 2 Metal Brass ringed control knobs with brown bakelite/plastic. Centers are original & in great looking & working condition. The original paper label on the inside of the cabinet is in good condition. The back panel is original & in good condition that holds on tight & secure provided you handle the radio correctly. The chassis is in great condition & it is a 6-tube unit with 2-controls & both controls have been lubricated & are in great working condition. The chassis has had all new electrolytic capacitor/filters installed & wax/paper capacitors were replaced as needed & a nice electric cord has been installed. This radio has been restored to great working condition. This Zenith would make an excellent addition to your radio collection Even with the cracks will still make a nice addition or as a stand alone radio as it’s power & beauty will surely be the talk of the room by all whom enter. Sized of this gem is 12-3/4″ long, 7″ wide & 8 high. This is a vintage radio & must be handled & cared for & treated in this manor & not like a modern day boombox. Tube radio technology “unlike modern day solid state radios” can have interference/noise in the sound quality, caused by kitchen appliances, computer monitors, flat screen TV’S, florescent lights, washing machines, high power wires above your home, etc… So where you position/place this radio in your home can make a huge difference & the direction/position it is set in. A lot of tube radios are directional meaning you “may” have to turn the radio one way or the other to receive the best reception. Tube radios take 30 to 45 seconds “for tubes” to warm up before they will start playing. I package very well for a safe arrival. If you have any questions please ask & I will promptly answer & as best as I can. Please ask questions before the end of the sale & not after. Thanks for looking I appreciate it. The item “NICE VINTAGE 1940′S ZENITH 6G05 TUBE BAKELITE AM RADIO SERVICED WORKS GREAT” is in sale since Wednesday, June 2, 2021. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “birdman232″ and is located in Fenton, Missouri. This item can be shipped to United States, Canada, Bahamas, Uruguay.
