FS or FF: Various stuff (will update regularly)

[speedog]

Scroll to bottom of thread for latest addition

All items that I will have "for sale" or "for free" in this thread are currently owned by my mother-in-law. We are in the process of moving her into Calgary from Okotoks and as a result, there will be a bunch of stuff that she will no longer need from the days when her and her late husband were very active snowbirds and had no home base.

I will regularly update items I list in this thread and delete items that have been sold - just following forum rules so as to not have a whole bunch of FS/FF threads.

Bump...

So I have a 1940 Canadian Marconi model 215 (link (http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/canadia_ma_215.html)) that I am "considering" selling. I acquired this radio back in 1974 back when I was a young teenager - some senior had put it out on their outdoor porch because they didn't want it any more and it spent one winter outside. The mice got into it a bit but what was more apparent is that someone had attempted to repair the damage caused by the mice - basically, they attempted to replace one coil and failed miserably.

What I am also aware is that the radio chassis does not quite match any on-line schematics I've been able to find - the chassis in my radio seems to have an extra tube and I am not sure why. My 20 year son has surmised that this extra tube might have been installed to allow the radio to be powered from 110VAC as opposed to the original battery layout - really, I have no clue why there appears to be an extra tube but it was isntalled in a very professional manner for the time period it was installed but it is apparent that it and the associated wiring, while old, is not original to the chassis.

This old AM/shortwave cabinet radio needs some internal work (mice got into it before I bought it in 1974), batteries and is also missing the plastic dial cover and possibly the dial needle (I may still have this - I'll have to search for it). The good, still has the huge original speaker that is in great condition, the cabinet is in wonderful shape, still have the dial and the wood knobs.

I have come to the realization that I will never get this radio back into working condition as I do not wish to undertake such a project. As far as value, shoot me a PM if you're interested - it does not work and has never worked since I've owned it. I suspect it can be brought back into working condition quite easily by the right person. Anyhow, I'll post up some new pictures tonight of the cabinet, the chassis out of the cabinet and the speaker just so people can get an idea of it's condition. The cabinet is about 12 inches deep, probably around 24-27 inches wide and 40-42 inches tall.

Like I said before, it looks like a Canadian Marconi model 215 but it's chassis just doesn't quite match and there's nothing stamped on the chassis anywhere to assist in identifying the chasis. To further complicate things, the dial says made in USA.

Further digging shows that it could be a 1941-42 model 202 or 203 - those are 6 tube models and the cabinet version looks the same but they have what appear push button presets which mine does not. Model 214 has the same dial plate but is a 5 tube model.

Never the less, shoot me a PM if you're interested or know someone that might be.
