This GE console was one of our first restores. It was in really bad shape and missing many parts including its speaker and antenna. We persevered, found replacements, and brought it back to life. It's strong are deco look fits right in to the art deco decor of the owners' house. What is really nice with this console is this radio has a aux line in which allows the owner to plug in there Mp3 player for tunes making it very functional as a everyday radio.
I was told the radio below is used practically everyday to play music off of CD's and listen for the weather report in the morning. There regular modern radio broke and they have been using there GE J805 ever since.
This Crosley was recently in our shop and had a non functional tuning eye. It had a open hidden resistor that was located inside the socket of the tuning eye tube. Once replaced the eye came back to life and works like new. Great fix. Included the second picture to show the really nice layout and the green glow of the eye. Great sounding radio to.
This great Zenith console has traveled many miles and is now in a great home. When it was bought in Pennsylvania at a radio show it was in bad shape. We brought it back to New York and did a full restore. Then through the internet it was sold to a customer in Arizona all in less than a year! Amazingly it was shipped From NY to AZ in three boxes and put back together lovingly by its new owner. I am told it looks and works great and here are the pics to prove it.
The above Philco has recently been recapped and put through it's paces by the 13 month old granddaughter who likes to dance to the oldies channel when its on. The Zenith below was a house warming present and was instantly plugged in and used non stop for days while the new house owners painted and cleaned.
This Silvertone record player turned out to be a diamond in the rough. It was hand picked out of a lot of radios by its owner who choose wisely. Its original lacquer finish came out like new once cleaned. It has it's original speaker carpet, back, and knobs. The recently recapped radio produces a deep rich tone when playing. The turntable also works along with providing a input for an MP3 player. This set has become once again a functional piece in a family's home.
The GE turntable above is used everyday and has become part of this owner's dresser. Was told it has great deep sound and always clear reception.
