I went to an estate sale this morning and found a couple of old radios. I love those old sets and have a hard time passing them up when I run across them, PLUS ... I've made some pretty decent money selling them to collectors. I usually like to stick with the smaller, table-top models, but today I bought one of those plus a large floor model. Man, the wood cabinets on these things looked so nice, I first thought they were replicas. Anyway, here's what I came home with today.

This is an old Truetone floor model. It's a 3-band radio (Broadcast, Middle Wave and Short Wave) and all parts are there (chassis, tubes, speaker, etc), but the power cord has deteriorated so much it has bare wires showing.

And here's an old table top Philco Cathedral model that is in excellent condition. I can't believe how nice the cabinets are on these old things.
