A Stromberg-Carlson model 68R console with doors and six fluted legs from 1935. 4 bands, 10 tubes, two separate
chassis (one for the tuner, one for the amplifier), 12 inch speaker, and a tuning meter. Has the signature mid-thirties
Stromberg octagontal dial. About 5-1/2 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet deep, this is a seriously BIG radio (extremely
heavy, too).
A 1938 Canadian Marconi model 112, 5 tube, 2 band radio with oval case and speaker in back. Didn't think this one
was worth much, but bought it anyways. Read "The Complete Guide to Antique Radios: Tabletop Radios, Vol IV" by Mark
Stein, and saw that it is actually worth $350.00. Lucky me! Will get to the case on this one soon.

A 1939 Canadian RCA model A-25, 8 tube, 5 band table radio with tuning eye and pushbuttons. Another big radio.
The Canadian RCAs are very collectible, and I've noticed that their cabinets are more stout than their American counterparts.
They are a little more beautiful, too. Works quite well.
A 1937 Silvertone model 4776, 6 tube 2 band radio/phonograph with tuning eye. Kind of hard to find (this model
is the only one I've ever seen or heard of), but not very desireable, I guess (they don't sell for much). Unusual to
find a 1930's tabletop combo like this with 6 tubes, 5 knobs AND a tuning eye. I certainly like it, as the phonograph
gets used a lot around here (have lots of Cab Calloway, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Guy Lombardo records).
