Old certainly doesn't mean dead!!!

I have found a nice example of a 1941 RCA Victor A-23.
Fully operational....broadcast, plus 3 short wave bands.
Original glass, dial, knobs and case is in real nice nic - no chips, scratches, etc.
Lovely swirl grain! Just got it home....fine cleaning to come.

Here's a few pics -

 

Beautiful! Congratulations!

 

Love it! I have an old Philco from that time.

Very nice. Love that stuff.

 

Lovely!

 

Wow.....That's really nice..

 

Classy looking, thats what I call a radio! I can imagine that Benny Goodman & the gang sounded sweet coming outta this honey.

 

Love the old radios. We have an early 40's Philco console and a stunning Zenith tombstone from 1936. Also have a late 60's Danish modern Zenith console stereo. I like to play old time radio shows through the old radios!

 

Could you post pics?

 

Sure, if you can tell me how to pull them off my Flickr account. Every image upload I tried ends up with broken images.

 

I thought you were talking about me for a second.

 

Why can't they make things that look like that now?

 

Of course not!!!

 

I don't use Flickr - but I use Photobucket.com.
I transfer by click and drag from my iPhoto to Photobucket and then copy and paste from there.
Works slick. Maybe you can transfer from Flickr in the same way?

 

They do, but their called "Crosleys."

 

I bought that reproduction Grundig made in 1998?, and although it's not as shabby as the Crosley-type machines, it is a far cry from the materials and appearance of those 1940s machines

 

Beautiful radio; even the woodwork is a work of art.

I have a '30s Zenith "cathedral" tabletop. I wish those speakers had memories - what stories they could tell!

 

It is a beautiful set. I have a US RCA Victor set with a similar cabinet and very similar. Needs an output transformer, a speaker, and some caps.

That easy!

 

Really nice pieces - especially that floor standing pre-radio Columbia.
Crazy nice cabinet!!

I have 3 including the above....NO MORE ROOM!

A 1947 RCA Victor Master Nipper -




....and a 1946 General Electric 100 -

 

cat9,

Two beautiful sets. In addition to my RCA, I have a 1962 Nordmende Turandot C German table set, and also have a 1963 Zenith Trans-Oceanic Royal 3000 portable.

 

Thanks.
It's not hard to see why some get a little crazy with these little guys...and some not so little!!
I know if I had more room in my dedicated space I'd have a few more.

But thankfully I am limited!!

 

Those are some great radios that you have in super nice condition! Thanks for posting them! I have a couple more from the '60s that are in good condition but don't have photos of them. Also, I haven't taken the time to figure out what photo sharing site/service to use - or how to use them.

 

I use Photobucket - quite easy to use, but there are others.
