It is a tube type radio and it does work, both the clock and radio. It measures 12 1/2 inches wide, 7 1/2 inches tall and 5 inches deep. The case is blue and white and made of plastic. It is in nice condition and comes with the original box. Please contact me if you need more information.
Light wear consistent with age and being handled. Please carefully examine all pictures and the short video before purchasing. The pictures are an important part of the description, and usually include important measurements. Items are in good pre-owned condition unless otherwise noted.
Known historically as “The Royalty of Radio, ” this mid-century modern classic features the iconic mechanical flip-up dial built into a sleek, textured black suitcase-style housing. This listing is a rare find because it includes the original paper “Operating Guide” booklet and factory inspection tag! – Complete Interior: Back cover opens smoothly to reveal an exceptionally clean (free of damage, dust present because I didn’t want to accidentally mess anything up), unaltered metal chassis. All vintage vacuum tubes are present and intact. Exterior Cosmetics: The black suitcase shell, heavy-duty carry handle, and protective bottom feet are structurally solid. The gold-accented Zenith crest emblem looks wonderful. Shows minor, typical vintage surface wear/scuffs consistent with age. Small surface crack on the plastic shell, but not large crack. (please review all high-resolution photos). I added a video where the radio is heard and I adjust the volume in the unit. Perfect for antique electronics collectors, vintage ham radio hobbyists, or as an authentic MCM decorative accent piece.
This does have some fading, discolored areas, minor scuffs & scratches etc but overall this is a NICE piece!!! It has a cracked area that appears to have had a vintage repair (probably super-glue) but other than that, there are NO other cracked or broken parts or areas!!! It has a Service Sticker on the back dated 9/15 (September 2015). This looks like it had wires installed internally for the antennas as well, but as you sa in the video, everything is working as it should!!! We noted it in the Video, but the internal bulb for the dial face back light has long burned out. This is a replicable bulb, but we don’t know how to do that. Overall, this is a NICE piece that will make a PERFECT addition to any audio set or collection!! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask and we’ll do our best to assist you.
This is a very nice old school tube style radio.. This thing honestly belongs in a museum.. This particular model is extremely rare.. It does have a couple of minor scratches on the case but very minimal.. It also has a couple of cracks on the bottom side as seen in the pictures.. Otherwise plays perfectly and everything works like it should.. Definitely has those old school vibes! You just want to look at it! Easily pulled in multiple local radio stations and played it all day! Let me know if you have any questions..
Remember this is a 1939 model when you take a look at the pictures. Outer walnut side wrap around case. The radio has a newer power cord that you will not have to replace. Both knobs and dial pointer work. Dial lens, dial face in good shape. Full original back and sticker on bottom. Dimensions: 12″ x 7 1/2″ x 7. The stations signal strength is strong. Plays across the dial. No hiss or hum presently when I play it. A pre-war classic that you can play everyday. The radio was taken care of. Will be packed well to arrive safely.
This is as nice of a ARVIN HOPALONG CASSIDY RADIO that you could ever find. Produced in the early 1950s. I can receive radio programs at my home, and I’m a good distance from any local station. It’s a tube radio and takes a couple of minutes to warm up. Approximately 8″ long, by 5 1/4″ tall, by 4 deep. Check the photos for condition detail. Message your questions and be sure to check my other items for more fun collectibles. Adding new items on a regular basis.
Rare 1950s-1960s Pink Juliette Deluxe Radio that Works! Needs some restoration and cleaning, as shown. The radio powers on and receives stations, as shown in the video, but there is a hum and the cord is old/stiff, so this will need a tune-up. There are 2 cracks in the case that seem to have come from heat inside the radio around the tubes. There are stains and soiling on the case that may or may not come off with the proper cleaning. We did not want to damage the radio attempting to clean it beyond a soft cloth. The Juliette logo is no longer on the front of the radio.
1938 Philco 38-93b Cathedral-Style Tube Radio. Interesting piece, as it’s labeled 38-93 but looks like a 37-93b (different cabinet shape). Based on the inspection date, I’m guessing this radio was manufactured at the tail end of the 1937 production run and was simply labeled as a’38 model. Could use some restoration but seems to be fully functional. Receives fine without an antenna connected. Frequency display is quite badly damaged. Would likely be dust in the wind if not for some ancient tape on the inside holding it together. The tiny bulb that illuminates the frequency display went out during testing but came back on. May be in need of replacement soon. Volume knob was exceptionally scratchy so the pot has been cleaned. It is no longer scratchy. Has numerous chips in the finish: scuffs, scratches etc. But it could be worse!
A true collector’s item, this Zenith model from the 1950s is a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era in telecommunications and design. Perfect for vintage radio enthusiasts or collectors of mid-century memorabilia, this working radio is a rare find that embodies the charm and style of the 1950s. Radio makes buzzing/static noise, possibly due to lack of antenna. Scratches, wear, and rub marks shown in pictures. Measurements 13″ x 6″ x 6. Shelf 4 Row 3.
