I bought some interesting radio sets, again some of them restored, other in original conditions, and one as a Lazarus. One Belmont, a Crosley Pup Sky Terrier, a portable Zenith, and an Arvin. All are from the flea market but the Crosley Pup that I had a wining bid at the main auction.

This Radiola 18 was restored during the month of September of last year. It was a very challenging and rewarding restoration project. The radios was in bad conditions with lots of rust and very dirty. The cabinet old finish was striped and a new lacquer finish was applied in two tones of mahogany. The power supply was bad but I had a second set that I used to remove a good transformer. Lots of sanding to get rid of the rust and cleaning to remove the dirt from chassis. Take a look at its technical info and photos by clicking the photo below.

This was a very pleasant and nice day I spent with my dad, my son, and my nephew at MAARC September meeting at Davidsonville, MD. Dad got impressed with the old radios and radiolas from the 20`s in working conditions. I got a Zenith model 5S327 in Lazarus condition, but I know what I need to get it back in a good shape.
