Offered here is a vintage Bendix Model 0526E AM tube radio, dating to approximately 1946.
This is a great-looking postwar tabletop radio featuring a curved waterfall-style wood cabinet, horizontal dial and classic mid-century Bendix styling.
The original rear factory label identifies it as:
Bendix Model 0526E
Bendix Radio Division / Bendix Aviation Corporation
Baltimore, Maryland
117 Volts AC or DC – 30 Watts
Frequency range: 535–1725 KCS
The radio appears largely original and has been in a personal collection for many years. We have deliberately not plugged it in, since vintage tube electronics should be inspected before being energized.
Condition notes:
- Untested; operational condition unknown
- Original-looking wood cabinet with attractive aged patina
- Finish wear, scratches, marks and dust consistent with age
- Original-looking knobs present
- Rear panel/factory identification label present
- Internal tube components appear present based on visual inspection
- Vintage power cord shows age and should not be used without inspection
- No restoration or refinishing has been attempted
This is being sold as-is and untested, making it a nice candidate for an antique-radio collector, restoration project, or vintage electronics display.
Please examine the photographs carefully—they are an important part of the description and show the actual radio you will receive.
