I got six radios and 4 boxes of tubes some brand new and some not. Diodes Capacitors ceramic Capacitors in the packages! I purchased a signal generator made by Caledonia Electronics, model #7712. Also a GE Variac model # OS48. I got a Oscilloscope Model OS-8C/U it says Navy Dept. Bureau of Ships. I also got a U-Test-M tube tester w/vibrator test? Battery test & TV Radio tube test. The radios are, GE K-64 Cathedral {1933} Philco Transitone model # PT25 midget {1940}. Plus a Silvertone Model 1922A Tombstone from {1935}. Also a Silvertone Catalog#1 from {1950} midget radio. Also a Motorola Model #58R11 {1948}. Lastly a RCA Table wooden Model # T62 {1939} The hole thing was $200.00 and the old man was very gracious with me! He was 88 and was really just glad to move the old Radios and equipment on to someone whom would get excited about and boys I am! He want me to come back again and I probably will later on this summer! If anyone wants to tell me anything about the radio equipment I'm all ears! Thanks Bill

...yipe! Was that up in the Waterville area (I see that's where you are) or elsewhere?...that tube tester looks like one of those testers you used to find in various stores so you could test them yourself...

WOW, really nice finds. You got a good deal it looks like! Those are some great looking radios you have there, and yes, that tube tester is awesome. I bet you could test every tube known to man on that puppy! Sweet :D

Great find, it looks like you have good radios for restoration, plus all of the parts and test equipment, I'm envious. Harry
