Greetings from FixitLand!

Not a lot of radios in my collection -- just literally tons of 78-rpm records -- but here is the radio inventory:

RCA Victor 97KG "console grand" (1939) [operational; unrestored cabinet]
RCA Victor 96T3 tabletop (1939) [in pieces for restoration; cabinet is tough, water-damaged]
Zenith 6S439 tabletop (1940) [incomplete, operational but needs restoration and several knobs]
Zenith 6D015 "consoltone" tabletop (1946) [almost complete, operational, needs recapping and volume knob]
Philco 46-480 console (1946) [complete, not operational; needs recapping]
Arvin 732 tabletop (1941) [complete, was operational 20 years ago; needs recapping and some cabinet work]

Used to have a Zenith 6D030 wood-cased version of the 6D015, but I traded it for the Arvin. Dumb move.

I suppose this counts as a radio -- a table-top Airline-branded radio-phono-Recordio [was working 25 years ago; needs new Astatic X-26 crystal cutter, probably the phono reproducer crystal as well].

Only other radio aside from modern sand-based stuff is a homebrew AM rig with 10-watt push-pull audio (6AQ5s) and AFC. That one probably doesn't count here.

Got the "demo record" for the 97KG, along with original advertising for it...

Take care,
