1953 Emerson Model 640 Personal Portable Radio

One of Emerson’s early 1950s personal radios. Fairly hard to find these in good condition, as the plastic cabinet is thin, flimsy and easily broken.
Gotta love that slide-rule dial in the middle.
Runs on a 467 B battery and a D cell.

1953 Zenith Model K401 Personal Portable Radio

Fairly uncommon, though you see more of them in a broken state. Their cabinets are plastic and are easily broken.
I suspect this radio was designed by Budlong due to its curves.
It’s a four-tube personal portable powered by a 477 B battery and up to three D cells for the filaments. It uses vernier [...]

1940 Sonora Candid KG-80 Personal Portable Radio Part 2

THE Personal Portable. Sonora’s Candid KG-80, was introduced in April 1940. It is the first portable radio to use miniature tubes, and is the first of the camera-sized “personal” radios.
Cabinet is made of bakelite and uses three D cells for the filaments, one Burgess Z30 45-volt B battery for the high voltage.
This [...]

1950s Motorola “Ranger 1000″ Transistor Portable Radio

This is the transistorized version of the famous super-sensitive “Ranger” radios.
It has a metal handwired chassis. Can’t remember how many transistors it has in it, but I think it’s around either eight or nine.
Was dead as a doorknob when I first got it. Once I replaced all the electrolytics, it sprung into life–and [...]

1960 RCA Victor Model 1MBT6 “Strato World” Transistor AM/SW Portable Radio

RCA’s transistorized version of their Strato World shortwave portable radio.
This model, along with the Zenith Royal 1000 and Philco T-9 Trans World were Consumer Reports’ top picks in 1960.
Not a very common set–cabinet is flimsier than most, and I suspect they didn’t take wear and tear. In fact, this radio is the product [...]

1946 Zenith Trans-Oceanic Shortwave Portable Radio Model 8G005

This is Zenith’s postwar version of the Trans-Oceanic–and it’s one of the first radios I bought when I started collecting.
It uses a slew of loktal tubes and a 117-volt rectifier, AM and five electrically bandspread shortwave bands.
I purchased it in Summer 1985, back when Trans-Oceanics were plentiful–and cheap–at hamfests. In fact, I [...]

THE Personal Portable. Sonora’s Candid KG-80, was introduced in April 1940. It is the first portable radio to use miniature tubes, and is the first of the camera-sized “personal” radios.

1941 Motorola A-1 “Playboy” Personal Portable Radio

Here are two personal portables made by Motorola before WW2. One is pristine and unrestored,
the other is a beater and playing–barely.

1947 Zenith 6G004Y “Global” AM/SW Portable Radio

Picked this up at the last radio meet.
Practically identical with the Zenith Universal, except it has an extra shortwave band crammed into it. I believe it’s from 31m to 25m.
Just needed a recapping and rubber-wire replacement.
Running on one of my replica Z-985 batteries.
Still a little touchy, as the radio sometimes goes silent. [...]
