FS: 5 old tube AM radios cheap
Hi all,
Moving forces sale of restoration projects I'll never get to. I have 5 old wood-case tube radios - one works four don't. All are complete, in good condition, and FULLY restorable. Actually, my brother did in fact restore all of them many years ago but they fell yet again into disrepair. There's a Minerva AM, Crosley Fiver, Motorola clock face radio, a Philco, and one other I can't recall. All are TOTALLY complete with all tubes and knobs, and ALL cases are in very good condition. First $50 takes ALL of them - BUT you have to take all, and you have to pick them up in Tacoma, WA I will GUARANTEE that they are in every way worth ten bux a radio, hands down. The Motorola clock radio works. ALL are tube radios of course. Email if interested. If no takers by Saturday, they're off to Value Village :-) where they'll end up in the 'glass case' for God knows how high of insane prices.... that place cracks me up! I also have an A****er Kent metal (model 45??) radio with tubes, and a Silvertone metal box radio - make me an offer when you get here if you want. I have LOTS of other radio stuff, but you MUST come over to talk about it as I WILL NOT SHIP ANY OF IT. Dave devarim at hotmail dot com |

I WILL NOT SHIP ANY OF IT. Dave devarim at hotmail dot com WHY THE HELL NOT? This perplexes me. With all the packing services and alternate shipping companies in the US of A this always amazes me. ADVERTISE IT IN THE LOCAL PENNYSAYVER AND NOT A WORLDWIDE FORUM! -- Troll Paul. |
NO! You are right and I'd have to go back and figure where he was anyway.
Oh, Tacoma. SO??? It's the condescending "take them or I'll dump them anyway" attitude that gets me. IF he actually reads any of these groups than he would at least PING Phil Nelson on the other side of the freeway who could see them and decide if they were of interest or even worth redistributing to others. It's this DAVE who is the troll. US postal parcel is filthy cheap to send a CORRECTLY packed AA-5 for less than $25 TOTAL. "Paul P" (remove) wrote in message ... ............

You could try Rec.Antique.Radio+phono or however it is listed. Maybe someone

If he even bothers to follow up, Lou. It's likely a hit and run?

I might email him and ask what is special about his units and for some pics.
Most of my AA-5's of the period mentioned cost me between ONE and 7.50 (those had FM and were from 1951 and 1963). I have some cash but it's geared toward a set repair payment and a Pioneer SX-737 (1974) to grace my 6 channel audio system since my Heathkit died. But really, I need more plastic square spartan boxes like a hole in der noggin'. "Steven Dinius" wrote in message ... If he even bothers to follow up, Lou. It's likely a hit and run?

Dave said that he is moving. That's enough explanation. I can imagine why an old radio collector is moving and not taking his lower value radios with him, health, finances, there are other possibilities. When you move, you run out of time to organize, fix, give away, sell stuff. He seems to be outa time. You guys still have the mindset that "my time has no value". Get past that. Your time has value, call it $40/hour. The several hours that it costs Dave to package and arrange shipping, even using mailing services, is hundreds of dollars of his time and time that he doesn't have. He's moving, remember. He's solved the focussed market problem that you allude to. He's looking for a radio person within an hour's drive of his place. Pennysaver gets him people within an hour but most have no interest in old radios. Call it a one in a hundred thousand hit ratio. This is a Worldwide forum but it is targeted to old radio people, better than one in a hundred thousand hit ratio. The proof is in the comment, "PING Phil Nelson on the other side of the freeway " Dave spams a list and one of the complainers knows an old radio guy just down the street? Maybe this "Phil Nelson" will pick up the stuff and help Dave out. If so, if Phil is listening, I'll take the SB-303 chassis. I restore these things and can always use dead SB parts. Hit my page at www.kiyoinc.com/heathstuff.html I'll cover the shipping and send Phil five bucks for his time. de ah6gi/4 |
I seriously doubt you are even aware Phil has one of the more prominent
antique radio site on the web then. Might indicate you are in swap as I'm sure he looks at boatanchors and he has a few. No matter. Has it been over half a day and it would be thought the OP would respond yet hasn't? My strongest evidence that he used keywords to commit a hit-and-run. Like a direct mailer might, only the more outrageous examples are labeled SPAM. In his case not, however I know I would monitor the groups I posted to as posters will reply within the groups anyway. 5-7 of 10 those replies are wasted. IF he wishes to give Goodwill carte blanche, so be it. I can hope some kid will get the bug and want better, etc. Auctions, thrift stores are great places to start a collection and one hopes these folks are our future? Maybe the thrifts I know will lose the mentality of not handling radios or computers they picked up during the Microsoft antitrust suit. Our auction house has been greatly useful to me. Things like Zenith "porthole" b/w sets, a pre-1951 Motorola AM-FM phono console, early SS radio and tube stereo tape gear, 70's vintage receivers. I have no use for eBay as there's plenty about here. If you really want to contact him, do so through the website you will now thoroughly enjoy. http://antiqueradio.org/index.html We try not to give his address directly to counter SPAM, but you should bookmark it just the same. Thank you most kindly for your thoughtful opinion. PS I watched a teenager diagnose and almost manage to repair the malfunctioning record changer in a 20 yo Rowe-AMI jukebox today. I feel a lot of hope. |

I only wish I had that TV, but I do have a 1950 Stromberg Carlson 12" chassis without a cabinet that was a gift. C'est la vie. |

Hit my page at www.kiyoinc.com/heathstuff.html I'll cover the shipping and send Phil five bucks for his time. de ah6gi/4 Exactly, When I moved about a year ago I was unemployed due to layoff, hurried for time, and needed to get rid of nearly my entire radio collection. I didn't have hours to spend answering questions, packing and weighing items for shipping cost questions, on and on and on.... I needed all of it gone with a minimum of hassle. I could have made ~$10K doing it this way but, with everything else to attend to I decided to haul it all to Estes and be done with it. I wound up wit $4K, my collection was spread aroundto other collectors (not dumped or destroyed), and there was a large hassle I didn't have to deal with during a stressful period. A few years ago a friend passed away and I was to liquidate his estate. His radio/electronics/test equipment collection was offered here for local pickup in my area. Working full time, family, and other obligations prevented me from selling these things piece by piece. Most of it went to 3 collectors who had seen the posting.They came, they saw, they purchased. No hassles. One fellow drove 150 miles and left happy. There were many inquiries from others around the country who wanted descriptions, pictures, shipping details, etc and some of these folks got angry when I told them I would not parse things out and deal with their requests as I didn't have time.Thats why I stated these things were for local viewing and pickup!!. Some wanted me to make an exception just once. There were a lot of requests for "just one" exception. Nobody offered to take their time to drive or fly to Cleveland to see the items, they "did't have the time". |
What a bunch of assholes here! MY GOD! What I do with my
radios is MY DAMN BUSINESS. Where do all of you get off flaming me just because you don't live in Tacoma Washington? I'll be go to hell if I'm going to take the time out of my day to deal with shipping 5 old AM radios! You have GOT to be kidding. I'm in the middle of selling my home, and getting married in a week, and run a business and I'm trying to deal with all of this all at the same time, and pulling my hair out dealing with all the things I have to do in a couple of weeks. Unbelievable. And you call ME a troll!! Some of you folks should be ashamed of yourselves. And did I mention I have had 9 requests for the radios locally? Not that it is ANY of your damn business. They're going to a good LOCAL home and I'm done with it. ALL of your addresses have been 'kill filed' - I just expected more from this group. Dave WHY THE HELL NOT? This perplexes me. With all the packing services and alternate shipping companies in the US of A this always amazes me. ADVERTISE IT IN THE LOCAL PENNYSAYVER AND NOT A WORLDWIDE FORUM! |
He's got more issues than that and the email he sent didn't help him either.
He was WAY nastier than any of us and he should go to church or something. His whole correspondence smelled odd, legit or not. All over FIVE ++++ING plastic sets? Let the S+++ roll on, pal. Ever hear of a storage locker? OKAY. I'm not putting any FS up on RAR+P for the forseeable future because of road rage from another group's Bull**** nonsense. I doubt your marriage lasts long either Dave because you are a spazzing twit. An invented one probably. HOTMAIL. GEEZ. "Dave" wrote in message om... What a bunch of assholes here! MY GOD!

An invented one probably. HOTMAIL. GEEZ. Dave has issues? I didn't think so. Even before he expanded on his situation, I saw a guy who was packing up his stuff and thinking, "gack, do I really want to take these AA5's with me, and those stripped chassis, and that thing over there too." Well, I have a shelf unit with old radios on it. SB-303's, an SX-100, and a Collins 75S-1. The SX-100 came from a local fellow who, like Dave, issued a "come get this for FREE or it goes to the landfill" ultimatum. The next sound was a drag-race start and squealing tires. He hadn't used it for years, had a new all-band ICOM, and wanted it outa there. He even helped carry it to my car, and later when I mentioned that one of the bright disks was missing, made a replica on his lathe. It works. I've listened to 75 meter LSB and 40 meter CW with it. The 75S-1 came from a Silent Key, I paid cash money for it but nothing like what it would bring on eBay. Similar story, the word went out for a local pickup, firm price please. I'm gunning my car, racing to get to the guy's QTH, with an envelope from my coffee can, cash, twenties. The fellow tells me the whole story, illness in the family, future move, near retirement, treating radios with respect and care. I count out the cash and *he* carries the 75S-1 to my car. Did I see a tear in his eye as I closed the trunk? The 75S-1 has some minor problems. I put it on my Tektronix scope and the 40-40-40 main cap is soft as is the other 40 cap. Your main cap would be soft too, if you were as old as this radio. I can bring it to spec with tacked on caps in an hour. I'll be attempting major surgery, refilling the aluminum can, that might take a few hours. It came with the 500 Hz filter, 312B-3, and the original manual. If I put the filter, speaker, and manual on the Bay, the radio would be FREE. If I put this 75S-1 on the Bay, it should set a price record. It is unmodified, has the rib-S-meter, and are you sitting down, a TWO DIGIT serial number. This was part of the first run of 75S-1's. I believe that the 75S-1 was the first S-Line. To a collector, of all the tens, hundreds of thousands of machines called S-lines, 75S-1, 32S-3A, 30S-1, KWM-2A, 75S-3C, 312B-5, this is the start, the beginning. The radio world changed when this radio, and the couple hundred like it, came off the line. Gotta have happened, Art Collins, the S-Line designers, the VP of manufacturing, the chief of Quality Control, whoever all those people are, must have been on the factory floor when Collins built this specific radio. Somewhere out there, there are probably 75S-1's with ONE digit serial numbers. Where is radio #1? Who has it? What about #6? Guessing that the factory built batches of 100 or 200, this may actually have been built before one stamped #1. Whatever. I ain't selling it. This winter, I'll be fixing up the caps and it will have a place of honor on my operating position. de ah6gi/4 "Dave" wrote in message om... What a bunch of assholes here! MY GOD!
