WWII Era Vtg Rare Kapsch & Sohne, Wien German Bakelite 401GW Tube Radio For TLC
wwii
Comments Off
Up for sale is a rare vintage WWII era Kapsch & Sohne, Wien German bakelite tube radio. This is another one that would fall into the German propaganda era tube radios. I believe this is the same as the 401GW Ingelen Elektrotechnische Fabrik Ing and the Super-Piccolo 1038L although this pitcular maker seems to be harder to find. This radio will have to be for parts or repair since I can’t get it to fire up. It’s in good cosmetic condition with the exception of a chip in the bottom left corner. Original cord and plug is in good condition. Back metal plate has some scratches scuffs and wear. This might be one of those that you’ll never come across again.

Vintage Antique 1946 47 40s RCA Victor Phono Radio Model 55U Victrola Wwii

Comments Off
This vintage RCA Victor Phono Radio Model 55U is a rare find for any collector of antique electronics. Dating back to the 1940s, this radio was made during the post-WWII era and embodies the classic design of that time period. This item is in nice condition, with only some lacquer wearing off and minor chips here and there, as expected due to age. Doesn’t turn on when plugged in. The wires may need to be tightened or checked? Could be used for replacement parts, a repair, or just décor.

Vintage WWII 1940′s Type CAY 47153A NAVY Aircraft Transmitter Radio Tuning Unit. This interesting piece of military history would make a wonderful addition to any military collection and would certainly be a great conversation piece. It has the original steel case. All the dials, inscriptions, hardware, original specification plates are in great condition. The outer steel case has some wear and dents as expected from age and use. I have no way of actually testing this tuning unit and would not want to damage any of the components. This is very heavy and weighs a little over 18 pounds.
