Corona 209 Bullet (1938)
Yes, long before the name became associated with a global pandemic there was a radio brand named Corona! It has been in my own personal collection for several years and it's time to let someone else enjoy it. This set has a beautiful multi color large round dial that really makes this set pop in a dark room. Receives AM and short wave. The long wire antenna needs to be attached to an external antenna to receive stations or use the 3.5mm aux cord to play your own content through the radio. The chassis has a strong tested set of tubes, it has been recapped, controls cleaned/lubricated, new line cord installed. Cabinet has been completely refinished using spray toners and topped off with a light coat of clear enamel for durability and sheen. 18-1/2"W x 9"H x 9-1/2"D. $249.00. (1790365)

Mirror-Tone Deluxe 830 (1950)
Mirror-Tone was one of a few brands sold by John Meck Industries. This particular model was manufactured for Monarch Sales Co. of Chicago, IL.

It has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. Originally painted white, it was repainted in a rich Maui Blue enamel with a few minor blemishes but overall it looks amazing. Original white plastic molded knobs, plus original back cover is intact.

RCA 45X16 (1940)
First time on Radio Attic for this model, and what a totally unique radio it is! In all of my years of collecting and restoring antique radios, upwards of 700 radios restored, I've never encountered a table model radio with a built-in Lazy Susan turntable on the underside!! See the photos. This certainly appears to be done at the factory. I surmise it was part of the built-in loop antenna design to allow the user to easily turn the radio where it sits to aid reception. Whatever the reason behind it, it's a very cool, one-of-a-kind feature! The cabinet finish is all original save for some re-toning on the sides. It is still in beautiful condition. Even the faux woodgrain trim on the top radius is still perfect. The original back cover is still nice, the dial cover and grille cloth are original. The chassis has been gone through with all new capacitors, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubed, new line cord. It plays loud and strong across the dial, or use the attached 3.5mm cord to play your own audio content. 12-3/4"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. $179.00. (1790354)

Trav-Ler 5000 (1946)
This stylish little AA5 is perfect for those who like a lot of character in their radios but don't like them to take up a lot of space. This example has been gone through with all new filter and paper capacitors, new volume control, strong tested set of tubes, controls cleaned and lubricated. It plays loud and clear across the AM band with its built-in loop antenna, easily receiving all of my local stations, or use the attached 3.5mm aux cord to play your own content. Cabinet is all-natural finish with a nice marble swirl pattern throughout. Original back cover, dial cover, and grille cloth. No cracks. Nice basic "All American Five" that were the workhorse of the post-war era in so many applications, from bedside to kitchen to desktop. 10"W x 6-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $149.00. (1790362)

Westinghouse H-440T5 (1954)
Classic mid-century modern five-tube AM tube radio that has been gone through with strong tested tubes, new filter capacitors, volume control cleaned so it plays strong across the AM dial with its built-in loop antenna. The cabinet had a crack that was repaired reinforced and was repainted in a lush champagne metallic paint. There are a few minor blemishes here and there but it remains an attractive design with gold foil trim around the dial scale and brass knob inserts. Has a 3.5mm aux cord to allow you to play your own content through the radio. 11-/2"W x 7-1/4"H x 6-1/2"D. $99.00. (1790363)

Zenith 6-D-516 "Beehive" (1941)
Classic six-tube Zenith affectionately known as "The Beehive" because of the grille work. The natural finish marble swirl cabinet is very nice, with one (common) stress crack on the bottom side due to an over tightened chassis screw in its past. It has been repaired and reinforced and does not detract from the overall display. Featuring new exact reproduction "Z" embossed knobs, & a new clear dial cover. It has been recapped, out of tolerance resistors replaced, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays well, receiving my strong local stations with the Zenith Wave Magnet antenna. It also has an attached 3.5mm aux cord to allow you to play your own content. 12-1/2"W x 8"H x 7-1/2"D. $199.00. (1790361)
