"ANTIQUE" RADIOS (THAT WORK!)
(plus other electronic equipment)
RESTORED BY BOB HOLMBERG
See my Sweet Sixteen Speaker System Here
All Antique Radios are serviced, and in "great working order". Some of these radios require an outside antenna.
I have been making a living in electronics since before World War II and built my first radio (one tube radio) when I was 12 years old while living in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm a World War II Veteran and a Ham Operator.
Following is the Antique Radio Menu. Some of the radios include vintage speakers. All items have pictures with full descriptions. Just "click" on the links.
If you are interested in finding out the what many radios that are in Dad's
Estate (and not included on this webpage), contact me (Dotti Holmberg-Waddell)
and and tell me what you are looking for and we can email you photos and
descriptions at: radiola@rightchoicekids.com
Satisfied Customers:
"My friend just received the Zenith 7000. Thanks for the great service and packing job. Please email me if you get another in like condition (or better) for myself." Dave from California
"Just received the FADA 605, Bob. Great looking radio! Just one more to add to my growing FADA collection (3 in all, but it's a start!). Thanks again." Wes from Maryland
"Dear sir, Received the 1940 radio today, and it arrived in excellent condition, works and sounds great. I can't believe the quality that went into those older radios. Thanks." Felix from Connecticut
"The radios arrived on the 6th of Jan. and are GREAT! They are more then I expected - I look forward to receiving the RCA w/ant. (7-bands). I
love this old tube technology and it amazes me how well it works/performs after all these years. I'm hoping to catch a Yankees baseball game on one of the RCA's this summer. Thank you and I will continue to "surf" your site." Bill from Illinois
"Got the radio today, works great & will look good where I'll put it. Thanks for everything, I'll tell my friends about your website and the excellent service I received! Thanks again." Jim from Oregon
"Hi Bob.....I just wanted to let you know that The Emerson EP405
Sea Chest radio arrived today safe and sound. It looks just great. I'm
playing it right now and it sounds fantastic. You did a great job of packing
it also. Thanks very much for your excellent and efficient service. It was a
pleasure doing business with you. Best regards." Scott from Pennsylvania
"Battery Fix" for Royal 20s--
"Bob: I did receive the Royal 20 I told you about. After your suggestion, I searched Batteries Plus looking for a replacement battery for the Royal 20.
From my research, I decided to buy a 3vdc lithium battery from Radio Shack and, being it was
short, I inserted a spring tensioner to hold it against the contacts. (Battery Fix--Buy the 3 VDC lithium and
insert a spring on + positive
side so they don't accidentally let the +/- touch on the negative side.) I was
just enjoying my Royal 20 just as your email came in. It sounds a little
"tinny" but that is due to the small speaker. They are strong on station
pull. It works great.....The 20 plays fine now!" Mike Sherwood from Texas
