Welcome to the GalleryThe radios displayed
within this section are "complete restorations", both electronic
and cosmetic. I understand that no matter how well done the restoration, some collectors do not want to purchase a once-shattered radio. So, unless it is mentioned within the description, the cabinet has undergone no significant structural rebuilding. |

1953 CROSLEY E15 OK, so I really like Crosleys. This is a beauty, a complete cosmetic and electronic restoration, finished in a bright yellow with silver brightwork and red accent. Sounds great as well. As mentioned at the top of the page, I'm telling you that this one was in a few pieces when I got it...(about 5). For that reason, I'm listing this one on Ebay....

SILVERTONE MIDGET BULLET - MODEL 6177 Here is one of what I believe to be Silvertone's classiest bakelite sets..... a tiny, heavy little beauty which I hear was actually built by Detrola for Sears Roebuck.. It dates back to 1939. A complete cosmetic and electronic restoration, finished in a bright blue enamel with red accents. The original back back is in excellent condition, the tuning knob is an excellent reproduction. This was an absolute disaster when I got got it....many pieces..so you know the story......For that reason, I'm listing this one on Ebay.... If you are interested, you can click here. |

EMERSON MODEL 547 - SIMPLE BUT NICE This set was
a previously restoration which I've done some more work on.. Dating back
to 1947, this classy little set is said to have been designed by Raymond
Loewy, the famed American Industrial Designer. This set was cracked in several places, and had been fiber glassed on the inside. I left some in place, and further reinforced and reglued it my own way. A complete cosmetic and electronic restoration, finished in a cream and red enamel with gold accents. As mentioned at the top of the page, I'm telling you that this one was cracked when I got it.For that reason, I'm listing this one on Ebay.... If you are interested, you can click here. |
