| Deforest F5 |
Lee DeForest is one of the people credited with inventing the vacuum tube. This radio is one of the last his company built and features an internal speaker. The tubes in the radio are DeForest DV-2 and DV-5 Audions. This radio was made on May 11, 1925 according to the inspection signature on the inside of the cabinet. This radio was pretty beat up when I got it. The top was badly damaged and the radio chassis was damaged in shipment. I found another chassis and was able to put the radio back together. |

 This photo shows the condition of the cabinet top prior to cleanup. The back and sides were not quite as bad.
|
 Here is a look at the front panel after the face and knobs had been cleaned up.
|
 Here is a close-up of the copper DeForest logo found on the top and inside lid of the cabinet.

| Federal Orthosonic F-10 |
This radio is a beautiful example of Federal's tendency to mechanically over-build their radios - this one is heavy and will last a long time. When I got the radio it was in good shape mechanically and physically, but everything was very dirty and corroded. The cabinet had some finish issues but was strong. The radio was then disassembled, cleaned and tested, and the case was cleaned up and polished (not refinished). I think it turned out to be a very beautiful radio! |

 You can see here the difference in the metal after the cleaning and polishing is completed.
|
 Here is a look at the chassis after being cleaned up and re-installed into the cabinet.
|
 The radio came with a complete set of matched tubes in the set!! The tubes are all dated identically on October 6, 1933 from the Radio Service Laboratory in Rome, New York and are all working.
