Description: If you're an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don't think you'll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere -- hundreds of listings each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping "gee whiz" gadgetry in exceptional original condition. And don't forget, you can click this link to quickly add and then save me to your favorite seller list and Ebay will automatically send you updates when I put similar new auctions online. Here's a 1922 DeForest D-7A "reflexed" tube radio with all 3 of its original plug-in RF coils, its original crystal detector, a complete set of good emissions Deforest Audions, and a clean, functional loop antenna. Condition is excellent. Clean panel, with crisp engraving and no cracks, no scratches, no chips, no issues. Chassis is likewise clean, with straight wiring, no mods, no repairs, and original transformers. Cabinet is excellent, with its original finish intact and only scattered minor marks consistent with age and authenticity. Loop is still tightly wound, and it's working properly when installed in the radio.As you can see in the video I've posted above, the radio still works. Its output is not that loud, and its tuning circuit is not very selective, but if you've got a strong local AM station, you should be able to hear it when the radio is connected to a longwire outdoor antenna, a good regulated DC power supply (I'd recommend an ARBEIII) and a reasonably sensitive horn speaker.I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios, and I specialize in radios and radio-related items from the 1920's. I've been selling and shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique radio from me, you'll receive a radio that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
