What's Offered
THE PRODUCTS: Mid-century modern electric radios and phonographs, fine plastics and other unique collectibles. 99% of all electric and non-electric items are constructed of plastic and produced from 1937 to 1960.
You will find items constructed of Bakelite, Plaskon, Urea, Lucite, Celluloid or Polystyrene to the ultimate, Catalin.
The Goodies
Style and design are of paramount importance. I like a liberal variety of stylized designs to suit different tastes.
Revitalization/Restoral Methods
Every revitalized item is completely disassembled to insure the best possible overhaul. Items are refurbished electronically and cosmetically by professional sources unless stated otherwise. Reproduction parts are not used except when absolutely necessary. Mechanical items may require the use of new or custom rebuilt parts.
Hard plastics such as Bakelite, Catalin or Plaskon are meticulously cleaned in the hardest to reach places, hand polished and machine buffed to remove 95% of scratches and other defects. Knobs, dial assemblies and external metal parts are carefully cleaned and polished.
The restoration goal is to render the items as close to original showroom condition as possible given the age of the item. Items are ready to display and play unless otherwise stated.
Bid/Item Information
If you have any questions please ask before bidding. Those who have a high number of bid retractions or negative feedback please contact us before bidding for approval to place your bids.
Shipping Policy
Consult each item page for specific shipping notes.
All electric items are double bubble wrapped as are cords and plugs to prevent scratches to the finish. Tuners are closed (5.5 position on dial) to prevent tuner blade damage. We double box when necessary.
ATTENTION: A professional repair person should always test, repair and maintain any vintage electric item not described as 'repaired by us'. And even if stated in 'working' condition. In the event a problem arises prior to shipping you will be advised and resolution determined. Events may occur in shipping or upon turning on a set by a non-professional that is described as a non repaired set therefore, all sales are final and all items sold 'As Is'. In the event of damage during transit all insured items will be turned in for a claim. Uninsured items will not. Thank you.
All shipments are insured for full value. International shipments are declared at full value. No exceptions.

All auctions or BIN may be paid by US buyers thru PayPal or Cash upon pickup. Pick up fees are $10. International Buyers will incur a handling fee on each auction/BIN. See Payment section for specifics on handling fees. Payments must be paid using Paypal or Cash on pickup within 72 hrs of auction/purchase BIN end. Thank you.
