On a whim I powered up the nicer of the two and was surprised to find it still worked! It's encouraging to hear it'll be a decent performer after restoration. I'm not a big fan of 1920s sets, but the Art Deco styling of these won me over.

Yes, I've always wanted a 1920s radio so that my radio collection could be rounded out to include all of the various style of radios ever made over past 100 years.
One question Tim, did your radio when you powered it up make a high pitched whistling noise out of the speaker while it was warming up?
The reason I ask is because my radio when its first powered on and while its warming up makes a high pitched whistling noise out of the speaker before finally putting out an audio signal.
