Remler Infradyne
IF amplifier unit in like new
condition
The "Infradyne" was introduced in a
1926 "Radio" Magazine article. It was mainly oriented to the
home-brew radio and kit builders. There were several manufactures of
super-het kits including Remler. I've owned this for a number of
years and never got around to testing it or putting it to any use.
Measurements (approx): 16 x 4 x 4"
Shipping weight (estimated): 9#
Includes 3
non-functional UX-199 tubes for display only. Good functional tubes, can be
purchased on the Vacuum tubes section of my site.

Riley-Klotz
small, rare horn speaker
This is one of he earliest of the radio speakers. From 1921, the
"Riley-Klotz" Arkay. All original (except for a new repro
cable). In excellent working order with a surprisingly decent
sound for a horn speaker. That's because it uses the famous
Nathanial Baldwin, mica diaphragm driver.

In overall excellent condition, it suffers a few dings, wear and
paint chips but nothing serious. A must have for horn speaker
collectors.

RCA Radiola 100-A
Radio Speaker
The 100-A was RCA's most popular speaker of
the 1920's. introduced in 1927, it replaced the larger
model 100. Both the model 100 & 100A reproduced excellent sound
quality, far better than the best of the
horn speakers. In fact the sound quality from these speakers was
about "as good as it gets" in the 1920's.
This one was repainted by the previous owner and I must say, a
decent job. I've tuned and serviced the speaker driver and it has
excellent sound. I've also replaced the front & rear grille
cloth with a replica of the original pattern. The paint job is
close to the original color.
As for original color, when these are found with a good original
paint finish, the colors vary quite a bit, but all are dark bronze
in color.
The speaker cable is original and in excellent condition.

Hand Crafted Crystal Radio Receiver
SPECIAL one of a kind
Mrs. Lowe
<
click for enlarged images
From my collection, this one of a kind was very
special to someone, a Mrs. Lowe many years ago. A beautifully made
crystal radio built into sewing basket. My guess is that it was
made for (whoever Mrs. Lowe was) as a gift. Who was she....
someone's favorite
teacher maybe? We'll never know but one thing for sure, you can tell that
it sat proudly in one position with the lid open near a sunny-side window for
a long time. This can be determined from the images as the panel
is sun-bleached from one direction (note un-bleached shadow areas).
Whoever built this was not only an excellent craftsman but clever and
resourceful,
take a look at the
crystal
holder image. It was made from a brass 12 gage shotgun shell.
You very seldom find a home made radio with the rotary switch
points that are symmetrical. This radio is made as well (or
better) as any
factory made piece.
This came from the collection of an old-timer (who passed away
about 20 years ago) in the Gresham, OR area. That's all I know
about it.
Year: 1920's
Case/structure: Bakelite panel built into a sewing basket
Finish: Bakelite has sun bleaching except for the shadows
Knobs/Hardware: original
Insides: original
Cosmetic condition: good, see write-up
Documentation: none
Tuning type: inductance
Electronic condition: works
Flaws, cracks, blems : nothing significant
Measurements (approx): 8.5 x 5.5 x 4"
Shipping weight (estimated): 5#

I've been saving
this with the idea that I would use it to make a mold to cast a
replica of this part that often suffers from
Pot Metal Cancer. I've lost interest in such a project due
to the expenses and the fact that I have far too many projects
already. It's in clean and as perfect as you will ever find one of
these. Ready to install and will fit the Radiola models; 16, 17,
18, 60 and 62 + other brands & models using the same chassis.
Yes, I've priced it high as you will have to look long and hard
to find a good one elsewhere.

Radiola replacement volume control Rheostat
For Radiola models *16,
17 & 18, 33, 60 and others that use a 2 - 3K wire-wound
potentiometer for a volume control.
*
Note: these (NOS) controls come with a 1/4" round shaft that
vary from 1/2" - 1.5" in length. Radiola models 18, 33 & 60
require 1/4" (partially flattened) shaft fitted when
necessary & cut to proper length.
Models 16 & 17 require extra tooling to reduce the shaft
diameter.
You can save $$ by
ordering the NOS Potentiometer as supplied to me and you tool the shaft to
fit your needs. Doing your own machining and shaft alteration
may require a shaft extension as well as diameter reduction.
Or I'll do the
machining and you
order ready to
install, specify 1 of the 3 options.
The brand, size,
color and style will vary from the image and some will require a
washer/s for correct spacing.
VERY LIMITED SUPPLY,
NOS - 2.5K, 4 watt
wire-wound. Why is such a high power part needed?
