RCA 9-X-571
|
item #1464
|
Feast your eyes on this beauty. It is an RCA Model 9-X-571 aka BullHorn. The bakelite case has a great shine and is without damage (no cracks, chips), just some tiny age related marks on the top. I wish there was not a hairline crack on the bullhorn as shown but that's life. The AM radio works fine. In fact, the sound is better then most other table radios I have listened to because it has an 8 inch heavy speaker inside which delivers hi fidelity sound quality. The only thing I did was to spray the controls with contact cleaner and change the line cord. The chassis still has all its original parts but it is working so great (no hum at all) that I left it alone. The radio has an RCA phono jack in the back and when the selector knob is in the phono position you can play your favorite records or with an adapter play your IPOD, MP3 or even bluetooth your Smartphone to the radio and listen to Pandora, Sirius/XM satellite radio etc. The selector knob also features a 3 position tone control both in the radio and phono positions. Original knobs, back, and full label on bottom complete this beauty. I would grade it as excellent if it were not for the small crack, but the crack is forcing me to sell it below market value.

An almost perfect Mantola (BFGoodrich) Model R654PV. Factory painted bakelite case in great shape except for one tiny chip in the paint which I filled in. Chassis was recapped and radio plays as good as it looks. Original knobs and full label on bottom round out this beauty.

Stromberg-Carlson 1101
|
item #1455
|
Sharp deco looking Stromberg Carlson Model 1101. Bakelite case was cleaned and polished to a nice shine. There was a hairline crack on the bottom which was epoxied from the inside of the cabinet. Cannot be seen unless you turn radio upside down and it is very tight so still hard to see. Does not detract from the beauty of this radio. 6 tube chassis has original parts and is in perfect working condition (no hum) so I left it as found. The extra tube really helps pull in those stations. Nice original bullet knobs and back.

Chassis - Philco 70
|
item #1444
|
Philco Model 70 chassis removed from a cathedral cabinet. Chassis looks in original condition with all tubes intact but is being sold untested as power cord was frayed so cut off (by me). Dial is in good shape and all switches work properly. Even has the 2 original copper can electrolytics often removed and sold separately. If you buy the chassis and want the matching speaker as pictured it is $25 additional (sorry but the speaker is not being sold separately). Expect insured Fedex shipping to be approx $25 East and $35 West of the Mississippi and it will be boxed properly for safe arrival.

Bendix 526C Catalin
|
item #1442
|
Stunning Bendix 526C catalin radio from 1946. There are only two defects I can find in the case - one is a scratch on the top (catalin can be easily sanded and polished as the color and swirling go right through the material), the other is a small chip by the rear screw hole). The chassis has been restored to working condition but with most catalin radios their display is more important then their working condition Original dial and knobs in nice shape. The pictures do not do this radio justice as you have to see the beautiful marbleized green and black case to really appreciate its beauty. Go ahead take the plunge and buy this wonderful radio. As a special incentive I will include Fedex double boxed fully insured shipping (USA only) and a copy of the long out of print catalin radio collectors bible (Sideli) with pictures that will make you swoon including this radio.

GE E-61 Tombstone
|
item #1438
|
Sharp looking GE Model E-61 tombstone from 1936. The cabinet is in very good condition (solid with no missing veneer) and the original finish is intact. I think a cleaning and some Howards will make it look perfectly presentable. The grille cloth is in good conditon as is the speaker and dial. Original knobs all acounted for and full label inside cabinet. Ok now for the bad news. The chassis looked complete with tubes but the power cord was missing so I took it out of the cabinet. It looks like one of the original can electrolytics is missing - C10 on the schematic. The other is intact but the leads are twisted together and not taped like they should be). Also the cap across the power cord is cut out of the circuit. A schematic was inside the cabinet (it will be included) and an "Old Tyme Radio Co, Silver Spring MD sticker was on the schematic. My guess is that this radio was brought into the shop for repair a long time ago and the repairs were started but never finished. If you are willing to complete the repairs on the chassis you will have a nice radio. This radio is shown in Bunis Antique Radios Price Guide 3rd edition page 102 with a listed value of $150. I think $75 is a bargain for this radio. If you want specific parts (cabinet, knobs, chassis, speaker) I will price them accordingly.
