Unknown Wooden Radio
|
item #1690
|
Not sure who made this one. The wood case is in very good condition but may have been stripped of the old lacquer finish. You can always reapply the finish, but still presentable as is. Radio itself is working well. I peeked inside and it is a transformer operated chassis. Dial is fine and says "Made in America" but no other hints as to maker. I can't vouch for originality of the knobs. Grille cloth is good. Back is intact. You can't go wrong for the price.

Hoffman A300
|
item #1689
|
This is a Hoffman Model A300. Blond wood case has some nice styling. Original finish mostly intact but some areas on case that have scratches and scuffs. Needs cleaning and polishing and should then look decent (most of the scratches and scuffs will be less noticeable or disappear entirely). Radio powered up and works fine. Transformer powered 6 tube chassis. Full readable schematic on bottom. Original Hoffman knobs. Glass dial had white lettering on top of glass and dark green lettering on underside. Interesting effect but some of the white lettering is worn off. The Hoffman Radio Corp was based in Los Angeles CA and I don't come across to many of their radios here on the East Coast.

Atwater Kent 145 Tombstone
|
item #1684
|
Please read the description carefully as this is a very collectible radio but it does have some issues. This is an early Atwater Kent Model 145 tombstone from 1934. The wood case looks to be all original and mostly intact. However there are some veneer issues. On one side there appears to be a split that needs gluing. On the top the veneer needs gluing down and there are several areas with small cracking and one small piece missing. Also some nut painted without protecting the radio and the top has a couple of white paint drops. On the rest of the cabinet there are a few tiny pieces of veneer missing. The better news is that all the wood fluting is nice and the original finish is mostly intact. On the front there is a channel where there is a slim piece of decorative wood on either side and on the right bottom a small piece is missing. The chassis looks intact and I plugged it in. I brought it up on my variac and there was a background hum (needs electrolytics of course) but I was able to get static at full volume but no stations. The antenna wire out the back is frayed so perhaps that is one of the reception problems. Also I have not pulled any tubes and they need to be checked. The good news is that it is drawing less than 1 amp at full voltage so no major shorts. I was able to change bands using the knob on the front and it is neat because there are 3 separate pilot lamps that light the dial depending on what band you select. The volume control works and the tone control works. The dial itself looks ok but the glass dial cover is missing. The original AK knobs are all there. The speaker grille cloth is not torn and in very acceptable condition. The speaker itself looks good. The brass tube shields are in place.

item #1673

Here is a nice looking TraVler Model 55C44 clock radio in a blond wood cabinet. There is some slight edge wear on the cabinet but easily touched up. Radio and clock are both working fine. Looks to be all original including radio and clock knobs and a full undamaged back. You don't see many clock radios in wooden cabinets as nice as this one.

Very nice AC/battery Philco Model 53-656. Striking teal color on the shiny cabinet and no cracks or chips. Radio works fine. Looks all original and clean inside (ok, maybe a little dust). Only issue is the brass on either side of the leather handle needs polishing.

RCA 6-BX-63
|
item #1671
|
RCA Model 6-BX-63 AC/battery radio. Case has no cracks or chips but some discoloration probably due to sunlight. It almost looks two tone because the entire back, underside and under handle is one color and the rest of the case a slightly different color. Interesting. Radio is in working order with original parts (dial plastic, knobs, leather handle) all in good shape. Inside looks clean with full label on back door.
