Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:31445272 |
Each week I bring you vintage early radio items. I have been collecting radios, phonographs, and music boxes for 46 years, and always have something interesting for sale. Here up for bid is this circa 1918 NESCO CN-240 radio receiver from WW1. This was built for WW1 by National Electric Supply Co.(NESCO). The mahogany 1/2 inch thick wood case is solid, and has the latching front lid. The front panel is clean and has no damage. The chassis looks mostly complete. The Crystal/Tube s...elector switch is missing behind the middle of the front panel, the knob isthere on the front so it's hard to tell unless you look inside. The middle condenser has the middle plates missing, only seen from inside. These radios used either an external tube detector, or external crystal detector to receive stations. The radio receives from 1000-10, 000 meters. Look ay my photos to see what you are bidding on. This is from my personal collection. It has a very cool etched front panel to show how connections are made. This radio displays quite well and looks amazing for 103 years old. The radio is very heavy, and measures 23.5 inches long, 15 inches high, and 12 inches deep. Low $899 starting bid, (considerably less than I paid of course:). You can also use the $1795 "Buy It Now" if it is still there, it disappears with a bid. tThis radio is not perfect, but displays like a $6000 one. At one time these brought over $5000 in auction. Buyer pays $85 shipping to 48 states. NO OVERSEAS SHIPPING ON THIS IT IS TOO LARGE AND HEAVY. California and Washington shipping may be more. This is a great WW1 wireless collectable for your collection or museum. Always feel safe bidding and just look at my 100% feedback and know your item will arrive safely.
