Well, I wasn't expecting to be 300 dollars lighter this weekend. Was only planning to spend 80 on the Silvertone 7071 up in Natick, Mass, But the guy had to tell me about a guy he knew the next town over with a few consoles for sale. So after a phone call I was headed to Needham ( after a visit to an ATM) and scored the Zenith 9-S-56 and Crosley 03CP. Got them both for 220 dollars. He had a bunch of Philcos left but I got the pick of the litter. Plus I couldn't fit any more in my van. I've always wanted one of these Crosleys. Just an awesome look. Love the huge dial.

Just a couple things from the local Flea.
This big RCA AM/FM which works great but needs 2 knobs, $1
And this GE 8-track which also works great and big box-o-tapes $5
I was pretty happy,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nice find on the Zenith and the Crosley !
They have both been catching my eye for a while and you found both at once! Great !

It was raining but I decided to drive a few miles to the Cortland NY Hamfest this morning anyway.
Everyone was under pavilions and pole barns so everything stayed dry.

Spent a whopping $26 but came home with a early Philco tube manual, a Weston tube tester manual, a Cornell-Dubilier eye tube cap tester, and a small really nice working SONY AM/FM/weather band portable which I think I'll keep in the camper since it's got a heavy duty antenna and water resistant case.

...that C-D cap bridge brings back a few memories (we had one in our shop; I remember using it a few times)...and so does that Sony radio...it's a TFM-110 or something like that...IIRC it's intended to be water-resistant and if you ever need to do any work on it, it's going to be a bear to get into...

I made out like a bandit today in the lighting department. :shock:

A pair of c. 1905 pin-up brackets with mica sockets and a nice 30's floor lamp - I already had the shade in waiting so it was nice. 8)

I broke two twenties on them, but got 12 back. :mrgreen:

BTW... the shade is actually ornate, but it got obliterated in the exposure. :shock:

Its an electric clock. 1932 Philco Model 551 clock radio with a 5 tube chassis in it. Only thing missing is the glass on the face of the clock. They are pretty desirable, got mine for a super price.

A long day of flea marketing yesterday and all I got was 9 NOS Hytron VT-67 (HY-24) tubes.

I do stop once inawhile at the fleas but 99% of the time the same dumpster trash. Tag sales are much better for finds. JMO.

A nice Westinghouse H-161 AM&FM radio. It should be a fun restoration.
