1940 Airline Model 04WG-668 Portable AM Radio
This radio has been totally repaired and is functioning great! The electronics have been serviced, the light replaced in the dial, the cloth replaced on the speaker front and a new electrical cord has been installed.
You will really enjoy the old times with this collector item. It picks up lots of stations with its built-in antenna inside the back cover. The electrical cord wraps around a circle mount inside the rear cover. This portable unit also worked with special batteries (hard to find these days), and the battery plugs are intact and the AC/Battery switch on the back of the electronics is working.
This is the old style tube type radio. You have to let the tubes warm up for about 15 to 20 seconds before the radio comes alive. The front cover has a latch like a brief case and when folded up and latched, the unit looks a lot like an old suitcase. The exterior of the radio is in excellent condition as shown in the photos.
This Airline brand Model 04WG-668 was made for Montgomery Wards as Airline was their radio brand name. This radio comes with a printout of the electrical schematics of all the electronic parts so if it should ever need repair, you can give the repairman the schematics for easy problem resolution.
This radio is unique in that the AM dial is backwards with the small numbered station being on the right and the large number station (1600) being on the left. This radio was made before the standardization practices for dial presentation became reality. What a find!
This radio measures approximately 11 inches tall (including handle) by 14 inches wide and 7.5 inches deep.

Superb 1952 Philco Table Radio Mod 48-482
Wow! Can you believe the condition of this 1950 Philco radio? This was a fun find and the radio reeks with quality inside and out.
This radio has been completely gone over and serviced. It is working like the day it came out. It has 3 bands on the dial---AM Broadcast, Police Band and a Short Wave Band. The AM works wonderfully and is bringing in good reception. The Police band requires a special antenna so I cannot tell if it is working correctly or not. The Short Wave requires an additional antenna strength also but I can hear some stations faintly.
The AM Band brings in wonderful sound, the type from yesteryear which was a robust clear sound of a high quality receiver. The deep wood case also gives the radio a rich sound.
The rear of the radio shows an internal antenna surrounding the wood case inside plus an external jack for what I am guessing would be a phonograph plug. There are also the adjustment ports in the back for the front pushbuttons.
The frame of the electronics is marked Oct 2, 1952. A full electronic schematic can be obtained for this radio upon request at no charge. I am very certain it is still available and hopefully I can find it for you if you need it.
The case is in great condition for a 55 year old radio. There is some wear here and there but cosmetically the radio looks very good as shown in the photos.
The case measures 12 inches tall by 20 inches wide and 12.5 inches deep.
Condition: Used
Manufacturer: Philco
