roadierfl, amazing work and commendable dedication to your future project. Those are significant undertakings that will long be appreciated.

Just purchased my first era radio on Radio Attic and am looking forward to watching my wife unwrap it on Christmas...pic to follow.

My Father in-law gave us this beautiful radio. I think he said it was from 46. My husband plugged his phone into it and streamed music through which I thought was a fun play on new meets old. That radio sounds amazing!

I think that's a 1939 7-S-363.
Nice radio. This model has always been one of my favorites.

The BBC Radio4 did a feature on vintage radio. It was repeated on thier website. Do enjoy

Knobs, dials and crackles From sleek futuristic fashion statements, to sturdy wooden cases emitting warm acoustic tones - there is something about vintage radios that reminds us of the technological advances of the past.

I used to have an entire house full of radios! it's a terrible, terrible habit!

These days, I use transistorized, for power conservation... but there really is something magical about those older radios.

EM11 tuning indicator on my previously posted radiogramophone. I always loved that thing!

I've been away fromt his site for a while. It is unfortunate to see so many broken photo links. Here are some I've finished in the past few months:

Silvertone 6251

Jewel 505 "PinUP" model wall clock radio

Gilfillan 5G8 with oak cabinet

I recently found a cabinet for an Arborphone 25, aka, Arborphone Grand from the Arbor Radio Company in Ann Arbor MI, circa 1925. I ebayed it, and the buyer kindly sent me a picture of the completed radio.

this is about a quarter of my surviving collection fo restored sets. I have another couple of trailers of decent condition "projects" awaiting me. Over the past decade or so, my collecting interests have changed. I have become interested in a broader range of "stuff". Actually, the broad interest has always been there, but when younger i was told to specialise, and heeded this advice, unfortunately.

I hope to liquidate much of the collection in the near future, reserving a couple dozen good examples from between 1920 and 1935, but like so many collectors (hoarders?) I find it easy to agree to cull the herd but difficult to part with any individual item.

There appear to be two "Show Us Your Radios !" threads.

Would a Bartender consider merging these ?

This is fine stuff, indeed !
