Attention Antique and Vintage Tube Radio Collectors! I will be selling a large collection of mostly restored (some partially restored) tube radios during the next 1-2 years. These radios have been stored in an old "Antique Radio Museum" for the past several years. They were originally restored by a man, now deceased, during the past few decades. I am selling these for his widow. These radios range from manufacturers from A-Z. There are some very collectable and scarce ones so please continue to check back for new listings. As far as shipping goes I will require insurance on all radios that sell for over $50.00, and it will be offered for all radios. Since many of these are wood cases they will be double wrapped in bubble wrap and cushioned with styrofoam peanuts. Some of these radios will be double boxed for safety. Since I will be listing such a large number I realize that some buyers may want to make multiple purchases, and I will offer anyone that wants an opportunity to pay for their radios and I can store them for a few months until arrangements can be made to pick them up. It is possible that we can make arrangements to meet half way for some delivery cost.
The radio offered here is an antique Day-Fan (The Dayton Fan and Motor Company) Model "Day-Craft" Wood Table Tube Radio. This radio is a DC battery powered radio (made in 1925), and it receives BC broadcast. The knobs all appear to work fine, and this radio has a built-in speaker. It has a lift up top lid. The case is nice and solid but there are numerous scratches and marks in the finish. The black face plate is in good shape, but has some light soiling. The chassis appears to be complete and it has the cables present, though they show quite a bit of wear. It is 31" wide, 12" tall, and 14.5" deep (at the base). This radio weighs 30.5 pounds.
