I wanted to thank you for the amazing work you and your business do. I have ordered two radios from you and have been so impressed with each one. From your videos on Youtube to accurate descriptions on your website, every time I order a radio from you I know it is going to be exactly as you described and the highest quality. 

 

I am sending you this email to let you know how much it means to me that you are keeping these old radios alive and relevant. I will continue to refer people to your business and let them know the exceptional work you do. Please let me know if I can leave a review somewhere to help you out. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

hat a cool piece! I’m so happy with it, it’s bright and cheerful and a cute little throwback for playing my cassettes. I will say that the ffw/rwd are a little sluggish, but they get the job done. It may just be the factory standard way this unit does it, but it’s markedly slower than my Sharp QT-5. Not worth deducting points over. Arrived fast and does everything I wanted.

Allen,

Just wanted to let you know I received the radio and finally got a chance to check it out.  It’s awesome.  You did a masterful job.  Switch looks factory.  Like it’s been there since 1980 when Sony built the radio.  Sounds great too.

Thank so much.
Manny

1941 Zenith

Aside from our children, restoring my husband’s 1941 Zenith radio is the best gift I’ve given my husband. We are more than happy with this awesome piece of history and being able to enjoy it again!

VERY CLEAN, NICE VINTAGE ADDITION TO MY DESK!!

Given that the combination of living in a high rise without local AM radio stations makes it hard to evaluate the ability to pull in stations, but the clock and bluetooth feature work great, speaker sounds very good, and the device itself is very clean and attractive. Brings back memories from the 60s!! I am a satisfied customer!!

100% as described

I absolutely love it. The care they took to accurately describe it meant that there were no surprises. If anything, it sounds better than I expected. My only regret is not getting the bluetooth upgrade. I really should have done that.

Emerson Green Memories

I didnt open till St. Pattys Day because its a nice Irish green. Very happy with the condition and performance of the Vanguard. Also I do have a little history with this radio as I grew up in Jersey City. I was born in 51 and the Emerson was born in 57. Little did I know we would meet up together abt 68 years later. Many times as a young boy, I passed the Emerson Radio Factory and imagined the wonderful radios created within.

Great Seller. Really pleased with my purchase. And it came in record time. Perfectly and securely wrapped. So safe from damage. Love that the radio has bluetooth. This is the radio I had as a kid in my bedroom. My parents got it for my birthday in 1964 when it was new. I had it for years...then, I grew up and where's the radio? I loved it. So finding this one was as emotional as exciting. My childhood radio! And now with bluetooth. I will treasure it always. Thank you Seller.

Reliable and fun.

I love this clock radio. It reliably wakes me up in the morning, it sounds excellent, and operates like a new radio of its era. Definitely worth the money.
