A 1936 RCA Victor model 7T1, 7 tube 3 band, tombstone radio with tuning eye and multi-collored back-lit dial. I
use a mid-1940's FM converter on this one a lot. Bought this at a swapmeet in Seattle, WA a couple years ago for very
little. Worked when I got it home. Am still fixing some veneer chips at the bottom, have one left, as you can
see. Already changed out all of the capacitors.
A 1937 Grunow model 624 teledial, 5 tube, 3 band table radio, made by the General Household Utilities Corp.
The last full year of manufacture for the Grunow name, as they would quietly close their doors in early 1938. Sad, as
Grunows were actually good radios. Some of their 12 tube console teledial sets were as beautiful as they were excellent
performers (would like to get one of them).

A 1934 Canadian Marconi model 49, 6 tube, 2 band, shouldered tombstone. Canadians certainly made beautiful radios,
and their cabinets are more stout than the American ones. These are very, very hard to find, as I've only seen two, and
this is one of them.

Here we have a 1936 Silvertone model 4566, 6 tube, 3 band, trapezoid cased table radio with tuning eye and gold
anniversary dial. Pretty much a train wreck when I got it. Every piece of veneer was peeling off or lifting, and
the chassis had been worked on so much over the years that I pretty much had to strip and replace everything underneath.
