Antique Radio, Tube Refrigerator Radio, Art DECO

Authentic 1945 Westinghouse Model H-126 Tube Portable Radio

Until 1940's average people did not own refrigerator's they owned Ice Box's. They had ice trucks deliver ice blocks every 2-3 days to home and placed in the ice box. The new Westinghouse first refrigerators, looked like this antique radio, only of course much larger. When Westinghouse sold a refrigerator to a 1945 customer they could purchase one of these collector radios to also go with it. This Cooler is all brass and bakelite with flip up portable handle. It really looks and runs extremely nice and of course cool of cool. This is 1945 model not 1946 hence, very rare. 5 miniature tube compliment with outside dimensions D6" X H9.5" X W5.75" with schematic and other service information included.

It has solid brass grille plus is real bakelite side covers. 

Radio comes with full schematic diagram, all service information and tune up procedure, for any technician to use, in future....

All of our Art Deco Radios are not in good or great condition they are in excellent condition. Most people, examining one of ours ask: Is it new?

Do not be fooled by others who profess, repaired is bad, since, what good is a collectible that does not even work correctly and the first thing everyone asks, when they see it on display is, does it work? They simply do not want to pay anyone with real experience to properly repair it.

No cracks, chips, internal, or external filth. Great like new dials and labeling. Yes, even the inside shows wonderful.

Also, do not be fooled, by anyone whom deceives with statements like. I did not sand and polish the trim or body, but like looking, at the dull brown, dirty coat missing, torn surface. Remember, dirt and a beat up look, is not original nor is corrosion or rust, just by calling it Patina, instead of unrestored.  

It takes one of our experts over 200 hours of sanding, cleaning, repairing, restoring, undercoating, then  multi-clear coating the unit along with all the hardware including oven baking coatings and allowing very long about 40 hours of heating to bake dry and an additional 3 months of air drying to obtain this excellent condition.

Why would you want a collectible that looks bad and does not work?

Would you want a collector car like that?

DEFINITION OF A BARGAIN: Quality for less is a bargain.

Quality always goes up.

Less for less is not a bargain but a ploy.

An expert price, to restore it correctly, will always go up.

Materials to restore will always go up.

Hence, less is not less because it costs everyone later, even more.

Antique Tube Radios Survive Nuclear Attack

Early in 1960s both USA & then USSR found, during upper atmosphere (edge of space) nuclear tests, that on the ground tube radios survive and transistors do not.

In order to shut down the target city communications, along with ability to evacuate or retaliate, it is now probable; the first detonation will come at us from above. Enemy ground troops would face no harmful radiation lasting 10,000 years.

Only thing seen would be a flash of light above city, followed by sudden permanent failure of most electronics in use today. During this total, immediate large city panic, a ground attack likely would then ensue. It will be the death of all the typical poor quality digital items, currently hawked, as new, latest, greatest finger flicking technology sold easily as (new latest for less).

With the 120 VAC outlets (220 VAC Europe), still likely providing power, or a typical gasoline generator backup, nuclear test has shown that tube radios will still work regardless of an EMP and may someday help you, or a future descendants, during an attack, receive the necessary survival information.

Space detonation does not produce physical damage to target but an Electro Magnetic Pulse, which destroys transistors & integrated circuits. These operate all your current computers, radios, telephones, and television products. Since the ignition also is microcomputer controlled, even your modern automobile will not start. A pencil, during nuclear attack, beats a computer every time & seldom fails.

The extremely large EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) nuclear explosion creates goes straight to the earth while blast force, sun surface blast temperature, plus harmful particle radiation is left in outer space.

The customer research group of, antique tube radio website, (nucow com) discovered not only obvious things about antique tube radios, but also actual unforeseen practical use.

They now are being looked at for other than collectible values of quality, beauty, linearity, longevity, heirloom, and so on but actual nuclear emergency use since obtaining a mechanical governed (Not Transistor Control) gasoline AC generator is the most common type and cheap to purchase, plus the USA and many countries have, tube based and radiation hardened AM band underground emergency transmitters with, non transistor controlled generators, setup for this very reason. AM broadcast band transmitters can be received thousands of miles away during most night hours unlike high frequency FM band. That is why you hear other cities at night on the AM band.

All the USA nuclear missiles have integrated guidance circuits that are radiation hardened (costs 1000 times more) hence (hopefully) not misguided by an EMP blast. All the Russian nuclear missiles have tube guidance circuits that do not require the very expensive radiation hardening.

Tubes have 90 years of perfected tested reliability. These are some of the typical reasons Russians & others, microwave ovens, high powered transmitters, including radars over the world, use tubes not transistors. Past technology survives better in most conditions.

New is not new to failure.
