Still more preserved and restored radios.
Crosley 1940 with a missing center knob. Very similar design to the Emerson in the previous post . Same year.
Admiral, 1946
Philco Transitone 1950
I could not find another radio picture of any brand that featured a airplane tuner dial like this cool jet age General Electric but the design is very 1950s.
Update!!!! There it is in the Eaton's (Toronto) Fall/Winter Catalogue 1956-57, p. 414. General Electric, Model 418 (number 9 footnote). I still couldn't find another image when I googled the model number but the Radio Museum website has the technical details.
A white AM/FM Zenith from 1959.

Wang Chung on a personal stereo player from the early 80s.
Groovy portable transistor with a leatherette protection case to wear on your belt. The walkman was a major upgrade.
Rogers 1946
Silvertone Radio. Look at all the wooden push buttons. I haven't found the year for this one although similar models of this brand are listed as made in 1939.
Wooden Arvin
Rogers Majestic
Crosley radio phonograph 1947
Marconi 1952 Model 294
I don´t know the year but this is a particularly special portable transistor radio. It comes in its own leather caseIt might have just stickers someone picked up at a promotion but I like to think Pete worked for CFBC and this was radio station equipment. We had three AM radio stations in Saint John back in the day: CBC, CHSJ and CFBC 930 on your dial. CFBC is the only one still on the air. Sadly, it has become a country station. When I turn on an old radio like this one, I want to hear something like Mungo Jerry.
It even has its own special leather pounch for an earphone.
Portable single earphones pre-date stereo headphones. Headphones didn't arrive until the walkman.
There is the original station on the west side, en route to Irving Nature Park. I remember the more recent downtown location. Nothing is broadcast from here for at least 50 years or more but it is still standing.
AM/FM with a pull-up antennae, rather like a walkie talkie. Very 70s.
This one is still a mystery. I guess I started out with the most clear pictures. Radios with similar looks came out in 1948. This one has the distinctive feature of the radio needle pivoting from the left.

General Electric Tombstone 1931 with a lovely embroidered grill cloth and beveled posts on the edges. GE Junior (M) S-22 tombstone. Yeah this is a duplicate from part 5 but I will leave it here all the same. It's that nice.

Rogers Majestic TEN-60 1935
There is not much further to go. I just realized I was reposting a lot of pictures and have had to sift through the other posts and double check. That's what you get for not being organized the first time up.
This series will conclude in the next post.
It all began here
