In a town nearby, a gent recently passed away who was a master collector of antique radios. The online auction was yesterday, and there were a couple hundred radios sold. I ended up with three.
First, a 1937 Philco "Tombstone" style farm set (a farm set is battery only, as they pre-date rural electrification in the US):
Next, a 1937 Zenith Tombstone style:
And a 1947 Motorola radio/record player combination:
Going to pick them up this afternoon!
Some of the ultra-collectible Zenith floor models went high....
This one went for $595:
This one for $665:
I KNOW I don't need them, but I've never been able to come up with two of the 30's Tombstone style radios before. There were some incredibly cool radios, a number of tube testers, and other stuff.
If you feel like spending a few minutes surfing the radios, try this link:
