Here we have a 1937 Silvertone model 4763, 6 tube, 3 band radio with the tuning eye tube. I call it the "deco-to-the-max
Silvertone". These were made by Colonial radio for Sears with their exclusive Silvertone brand. These things are
getting kind of pricey nowadays, as everybody wants one.
A 1934 RCA model 118 tombstone radio. One of the first to use the "airplane dial". 5 tubes, 3 bands.
Another Stromberg-Carlson. Model 61H, 7 tube, 3 band table radio, ca. 1935. Often called "The Cadillac of
radios" because of their quality, Stromberg-Carlsons are some of the most beautiful radios I have ever seen, and this model
is no exception.

A 1937 Belmont model 840. These are not very common in the table model version, the console version being more
popular. 8 tubes, including a tuning eye, and has two 6F6 push-pull output tubes as well as separate antenna connections
for the different bands.A well designed radio.
This monster is the 1936 Stromberg-Carlson model 140H, 4 band, 9 tube, deco-to-the-max, table radio with tuning eye.
Haven't done anything to this one yet, as it was working when I got it (unusual for me). This thing is HUGE, and almost
gave me a hernia carying it up the stairs. Weighs about 70 lbs. (more than some of my consoles). 3 feet long
and almost 2 feet tall, it's a BIG one! Books say it's worth over $400.00, but good luck getting one at that price.
