Antique Radio & Parts
Hi folks, I acquired the antique radios featured on this page from a collector. His claim was some were completely restored, some in working order but not restored and others obviously not working. My talents acquired in almost 50 years of running Surplus Sales does not include troubleshooting these old buggers. The technicians I have employed over the years are all now retired. We have therefore decided to sell these radios as-is. We took multiple photos. Feel free to ask questions.
Warm Regards, Bob Grinnell

(CFE) 000125R00AEI
I uncovered several cases of Western Electric twist lock cans made in 1945. Your first thought may be UGH! dried out and worthless. Not so! True to Western Electric quality standards these caps all reform to levels way beyond that which we find acceptable today. As a matter of fact, once reformed, their leakage is 1/4 that of today's capacitor of the same value and voltage. ESR is also similarly lower. New old stock. 1-3/8" diameter x 3" high. All leakage checked and each capacitor guaranteed good!
