Vintage 1950 Arvin Model 740T Tube Radio – Working & Recently Serviced. This vintage Arvin Model 740T is exactly the kind of small tabletop tube radio that makes mid-century collectors stop scrolling. It has the rounded metal cabinet, warm ivory finish, oversized dial, woven grille cloth, and simple two-knob layout that give these little Arvins such a great Atomic Age / early MCM look. Even better: this one works well and has been recently serviced, so it is not just sitting there looking charming and mysterious like a tiny cream-colored time machine. Vintage Arvin Model 740T tabletop tube radio. Made by Arvin / Noblitt-Sparks Industries of Columbus, Indiana, U. Circa 1950 model with classic postwar metal cabinet design. Desirable ivory / cream painted metal case with original-style finish and warm aged patina. Large right-side tuning dial with raised station numbers. Smaller left-side volume/on-off knob. Attractive woven diamond-pattern grille cloth. Original Arvin front badge/emblem present. Bottom retains a partial original factory identification label. Back panel is present and marked “ARVIN 740T”. Includes printed service/alignment information sheet shown in photos. Great display piece for radio collectors, MCM décor, vintage electronics displays, studios, offices, shelves, or period room styling. ? Radio works well and has been recently serviced. ? Cabinet presents nicely overall with original paint/finish still showing good vintage character. ? Metal case has typical age-related scuffs, small chips, finish marks, and surface wear. ? Front grille cloth looks attractive with normal age toning. ? Knobs are present and have honest age-related discoloration/wear. ? Partial original bottom ID tag remains visible but is worn, aged, and incomplete. ?

Atomic Age display shelves. Period prop and set design. Collectors of compact metal-cabinet radios. Anyone who likes radios that look like they should be playing news about flying cars. This is a charming, working, recently serviced Arvin 740T with the right look: rounded ivory metal cabinet, original badge, woven grille, big tuning dial, and just the right amount of honest age. It is clean enough to display proudly, but still carries the authentic wear and patina collectors expect from a 1950s tabletop tube radio.

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.

I recently sent this radio to my Tech Friend Tom and he replaced 6 capacitors and the speaker. By now you know neither Tom nor I are very interested in cleaning up old radios.

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.

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 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.

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.
