  • Condition: The electric wiring on this King radio has been patched and looks suspect. Never the less I plugged the radio into an outlet. The tubes warmed up, and the speaker came to life with a lot of snap*crackle*pop. I could not get a station to come in. The speaker works great, loud and clear. The dial turns freely until the 60 mark, then I could not get it to turn further. The on/off switch works nicely. The housing is exceptional - I do not see any excessive wear or any damage. The tube chassis is just dusty. The antenna wiring is also suspect and will need to be reworked. The fabric speaker mesh is good overall but it torn right at the top edge. This is a pre-1930 radio sold by Sears Roebuck. Please see the listing for more details. Thank you.

    Description

    King tube Radio.
    Cathedral style.
    According to the Antique Radios Collector's Guide the radio was made by King Quality Products, starting in 1924, in Buffalo, New York.  The company was owned by Sears Roebuck Co., and branded its products Silvertone as well as King.  By the early 1930s the company was out of business.
    This is possibly a King Model No. 4, a 2-knob model, maybe the first model produced.
    The collector's guide, dated 1995, prices a good working model at 5.00.
    The speaker is a Nathaniel Baldwin Super Dynamic model, made in Chicago. The company was most active in the 1920s.
    The radio is 12 1/2 inches tall / 10 inches wide at the base / 8 inches deep at the base.
    The on/off knob is wood.
    The radio is in exceptionally good condition.
    Ripe for restoration.
    Thank you.
    ps  At this writing this is the ONLY King tube radio for sale on eBay.  In fact, the sold listings do not show a King radio being sold in the last 90 days.
