RCA Record Changer and Tube Amplifier
|
item #1825
|
This is an RCA Model 9-ES-6H record player taken from a small console. It consists of a multi speed record changer (RP-205-B, 24 page service manual included) in good condition with just a little surface cleaning needed, and a 3 tube amplifier (chassis RS-157-B, schematic included). The turntable is working as is the original cartridge (it is a high output ceramic which do not usually go bad like the crystal cartridges). The flip over needle looks good too. The changer plays all speed records (16, 33 1/3, 45, 78) manually or automatically (could use some lubrication of the working parts). It comes with the 45 adapter. The amplifier has a loud hum and should work fine after recapping. The two cables off the bottom of the changer plug into the amplifier and the on/off switch for the changer also turns the amp on and off. Build or buy a base for the changer, mount the amp, add some speakers and you will have a nice set up to play your vintage records.

Emerson 864 Vintage Multispeed Record Player
|
item #1822
|
Beautiful original condition on this Emerson Model 864 record player. Of course Emerson did not make the record changer itself. It is a Voice of Music 1200 series turntable. That makes repairs a snap because of the wealth of information on these record changers, and I am including a copy of the 16 page SAMS Photofact as well. The one I am selling is in working condition. It features 4 speeds (16, 33 1/3, 45, and 78) and can be used as an automatic or manual changer. I cleaned the original flip over needles and was able to play several records. The automatic operation was fine on the 78 speed, but was sluggish on the 45 and 33 1/3 speeds. That means a good cleaning and lubrication of the mechanism is needed. I would probably change the needles as well. The mono flip over cartridge is original but not difficult to replace with a stereo cartridge and rewire but I think leaving it as found and being able to play those old 78's is really fun. The cream colored metal base with black and red is eye candy and screams retro vintage. On the bottom is the full original Emerson label with model number.

1950's Guided Missle Electronics
|
item #1820
|
For the collector I have two mint variable resistors from the Belock Instrument Corp, LI NY. Here is a link to the companies founder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_D._Belock. These are curiosities only and neat items from the 1956 missle era. Both are mint in their original sealed boxes but out of curiosity I opened one to see just what was in there. Just pay for shipping.

Unknown TRF Radio (Climax?)
|
item #1817
|
I have no idea who made this one but the schematic looks very close to a Climax Model 30-34. It is definitely a 1930's TRF set from the tube lineup (25Z5, 43, 6C6, 6D6, ballast). The cabinet needs some refinishing but I like the old 1930's look so if it were me I would leave alone. I took out the chassis and it had most of its original parts except the speaker which was replaced with a PM type. I went through and replaced the bad capacitors, realigned the receiver, and it is playing fine now. I like the big red tuning knob against the black dial and it is lit so really looks sharp in low light. Great addition to your collection if you like more unusual radios.

Chassis - Silvertone 4206
|
item #1815
|
Unusual Silvertone Model 4206 radio. The chassis is both AM and FM. However, the AM frequencies appeared on the cabinet face itself while the FM frequencies appeared on the dial face itself. So unless you already have a cabinet, without it you can approximate the position of the AM stations but I would just use this as an FM receiver. The FM indicator on the bottom of the dial glows red when the FM band is selected. When the AM band is selected the other pilot lamp glows white and illuminates the outer dial (if you had the cabinet).Nice 8 tube transformer operated set and was completely recapped when I got it. Plays strong on AM, weaker on FM depending on where I locate the power cord (FM antenna coupled to the AC line). Perhaps with an external FM antenna it would perform better. Has its original knobs. Nice chassis for the price

Zenith L505
|
item #1813
|
From my collection a Zenith Model L505. This is an AC/battery radio. The case is in decent condition but their are a few marks on the front that go into the plastic and some scratches along the back which I suspect are from use. Case has a nice shine and looks better then I am describing. The good news is the radio is working fine. This is an unusual set in that it has a wave magnet in the back that can extend from the radio with suction cups for window mounting (similar to the wavemagnet in the Zenith transoceanics but this one is AM only). You can see it removed in the 2nd picture of the back. Chassis pulls out from the bottom. Everything looks original to the radio. Knobs on each side for on/off/volume and tuning with the tuning dial recessed into the top. Retractable cord. Not an easy model to find. Priced right for a quick sale. Second picture showing back is not the actual color (it is maroon as in first picture not bright red but my flash went off).

RCA 2X-61
|
item #1810
|
Sharp looking RCA Model 2X-61. Bakelite case is in excellent condition with a very nice shine. Chassis was recapped and is playing fine. These radios are getting harder to find because they have the RCA phono jack on the back and if you have an adapter cable you can plug in your IPOD, MP3, or any device with a line level output. You can also plug in a Bluetooth receiver and then can stream music from any source including your iPhone, IPAD, Tablet, etc. The radio is $75 but if you want the adapter cable (safely converts a stereo output from your device to a mono input) and the Bluetooth option please add $25.
