Please sign my guestbook below......thanks!
Please Note: Due to a large number of SPAM postings I have been forced to restrict guestbook entries to members only. Therefore, please go to the Members page and sign up and once you have been approved you will be able to post a guestbook entry. I hate having to do this but I am spending too much time cleaning all the trash SPAM out of the guestbook.
Remember: Keep em glowing!
The picture here is of the RCA Radiola model-17 from
1927, which is said to be the first production radio designed to be run
off of AC power. All previous sets ran off of batteries.
A
lot of people leave questions in the guestbook, but I have no way of
replying without your email address. If you have questions you may

I will be glad to help you identify your radio if I can, but I am not an appraiser so please don't ask me questions about "how much something is worth". If you have any questions then please click the blue link in the above paragraph....thanks.

Really enjoyed your site. I am a collector of sorts myself, having owned/ traded/given away dozens of antique radios. Spent my life as a comm tech in the Canadian Air Force so many of these old pieces passed over my work bench through the years. At the Moment I have only half a dozen specimens in the house - an Emerson table superhet, 1934 with a green celluloid case, a 1927 Bosch American with sliding doors on the dial and speaker as well as a GE parlour model, 1938 vintage. There are a few others around but old age has reduced me to poor eyesight and shaky hands!! It's hard to handle the soldering iron these days!! Andy
I have a 1950? Magnavox TV/Phono/Radio Hepplewhite console. The tv lights up but no picture and the phonograph/radio do work. The cabinet has two doors on the front - one is for record storage, the other is the radio/speaker. The phonograph is located on top with a separate lid on hinges. I haveseen some old ads for similar models, but have not been able to find one like this to compare. Are you familiar with this model?
I picked up a nice little solid state Magnavox Stereo recently and have tried to "Google" it and have found nothing on it. It says the Model Number is 1r1712. It is not a console but a actual 2 channel stereo with RCA outputs . It is solid state ...not a tube amp. Cabinet is very nice and both channels work well. Anyway...I can send a picture if it might help. I'm guessing early to mid 60's.
Thanks,

Hi. We just cleaned out my mother's basement. Found a Packard-Bell 602. I warmed it up at my house. Plugged it in and it fired right up. Good sound...called my brothers and sisters and my mom. She said it was my paternal grandfather's. Thanks for the website. Couldn't find one on ebay so I googled and got you.
