I've got around 50 old floor-model wood radios. Very difficult to store the safely. Unheated storage makes a mess of the old capacitors in them. Uneven heat and humidy raises heck with the woodwork. I've got a dozen Zeniths with their famous "Wave Magnet."
My favorite is my Crosley. Short wave just sounds better when it comes out of it.
These are the ones I've got in my heated shop right now that I'm jerking around on.
Ansley-Dynaphone - table-top, radio and record-player, 13.5 deep X 17 wide X 15.5 tall, short-wave 6-18 megacycles (49M-16M), BC (broadcast band) 500-1700 kilocycles, 33-45 RPM record player, some knobs missing, poor finish on wood.

Atwater Kent Model # 37 radio, ca. 1927 metal table-top radio with two knobs on front, remote speaker model E. Radio is 10 deep by 17 long by 7 tall. Speaker is 16 high, 16 diameter round, and 5 thick and stands upright on its own. Nice condition. Probably simple broadcast band - there wasnt much on the air in 1927. AC power but has some strange stuff inside of it. Beautiful gold ship insignia on top.
General-Electric - GE-221, tabletop 540-1600 kilocycles, 6-10 megacycles shortwave, 14 wide X 8 deep X 9 high - poor finish.

Majestic - Model 71 radio with model 70 chasis and optional AC powerpack. Grisby and Grunow Co. I think this was originally a battery radio that came with the optional AC powersupply. The powersupply is big and heavy, but fits out-of-sight inside the back of the radio. Nice wood but faded finish. 15 deep X 27 wide X 47 tall, its a big old farm radio. Seems to only be broadcast band and has three knobs. Made in 1929.
