It was part of an ENORMOUS radio collection. The radio does power on when plugged in and turned on and it plays nicely! I was able to tune in several stations here in central Indiana it was not hooked up to an external antenna. The dark turquoise & white cabinet gives this radio that super-cool Mid-Century Modern look! The molded plastic cabinet is nice and solid and the colors look very nice. I did not see any cracks, chips, etc. There are some minor imperfections like you might expect on a piece from this era. The tuning dial works well and the on/off/volume switch functions as it should. I believe that this is 100% original. As you can see from the pictures, the chassis looks clean but the radio has been in storage for many years so I’m sure that it could use a good/thorough cleaning. I do not have the proper equipment to test this piece any further. It measures approximately 12 1/2″ W by 4″ D and 6 1/2 H. Please be sure to preview all of the pictures so that you can determine the condition for yourself.

It’s no accident that Motorola is one of the few surviving American electronics companies. Many radio collectors believe that during the 1950′s and beyond they built the most innovative and well designed tube radios for both consumers and professional communications. Later Motorola came to dominate the market for radios used by police and fire departments. This listing is for one of the best-loved Jet Age Motorola radios, a turquoise blue model 56H. This model has been nicknamed the “turbine, ” for obvious reasons. A clear plastic cone covers the dial indicator and gives this radio a unique appearance. The radio’s case is made of very thick plastic (urea, I think), with the color molded into the plastic, not just painted on. This one’s case is perfect : not a crack or a chip anywhere. In real life the color is slightly more blue and less green than my photos might suggest. I think “turquoise” is the most accurate color name for this version. The knobs are original and so is the back. The only cosmetic defect I could find is some small scratches on the clear plastic nosecone (last photo). Sadly, this radio does not play. There is just a low hum and no sign of any stations at all. I took off the back for a quick look, and the chassis is completely original and unmolested. The only change inside is that someone installed quick connectors on the wires to the loop antenna. Handy if you need to get inside to change tubes. This Motorola 56H has been in my collection for many years. I hate to part with it, but I need the space. I have been collecting and restoring antique radios for more than 35 years. Please watch my future auctions for more vintage radio and TV items. I don’t have a lot of silly rules for buyers: Pay for your item and I’ll send it you. I’ll trust you and you can trust me to do right. The item “Vintage 1955 Jet Age Retro Motorola Turquoise Blue 56H Turbine Vacuum Tube Radio” is in sale since Sunday, January 17, 2016. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1950-59″. The seller is “xj3″ and is located in Bend, Oregon. This item can be shipped worldwide.
