If you’re an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don’t think you’ll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere — hundreds of listings each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping “gee whiz” gadgetry in exceptional original condition. Condition of the radio is very good, and as you can see in the video I’ve posted, it still works and comes with a good 1 amp, gray glass CG Navy tube. Panel is deep black with minimal wear, and the nickel plated panel hardware is clean, correct and original. Both tuning knobs turn easily, as does the rheostat control and the tuning coil’s tap switch. Chassis is original, with no mods. In the panel’s lower right quadrant, there are two very fine hairlines that appear to have been stress-induced but do not compromise the panel’s structural integrity. They may have been present since the radio was new; it’s impossible to know at this point. They’re barely visible, even when you’re looking for them, but if you enlarge the panel photos, you should be able to see their extent. They look like faint scratches, and adjacent to the one near the lower right screw is a small chip. In the video above, the radio is connected to a Brown mechanical amplifier and a vintage horn speaker. Only the radio and headphones are included.

Vintage Motorola 1950′s Radio. Model 56CC,, Its a Table Top Radio. And i think the Radio was made in 1956,, There. These have a built in Clock with a Built in Calander Displaying. The Day and Date and the Clock also has an alarm. This Must have been High Tech in 1956. This Radio had been in Storage and we just wiped it off with. A soapy rag,,, So i think it will clean up a little better. Cracks seem to be the major problem with these old radio’s. The Case on this one is in Really Nice Condition. There is a Crack in the Clock Display Cover but its Not. That Distracting for the age of this radio. I’m old enough to remember when Tube Type Radio’s were. Still in use,,, I had forgot that it takes 2 or 3 mins after they. Are turned on for the tubes to warm up before they work. This one Works Good and Picks up a lot of stations but. Its a Table Top Radio,, Fairly Large ,, Measuring 13 X 6 X 5 1/2 inches. The Back Cover is Clean and looks Really Good. The only thing i see that could look better is the numbers behind. The Dial,,, They are there and are readable but i think the plastic. Is dirty on the rear side causing the numbers to be darker than. They should be,,, So the cover would need removed and cleaned. Also,, the Calander part,,, i don’t know if it works yet,,, I’ve just had. The radio plugged up and playing for 2 or 3 hours,,, so its not been. On long enough to update the Date / Day ,,, If the Calander works i’ll be. Shocked,, So’ll post info on this a little later. ” Update,, The Date / Day Function Does Work “.
