Description: If you're an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don't think you'll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere -- hundreds of listings each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping "gee whiz" gadgetry in exceptional original condition. And don't forget, you can click this link to quickly add and then save me to your favorite seller list and Ebay will automatically send you updates when I put similar new auctions online.Here's a large, rare, and quite beautiful pre-WWI Deforest V.C. 3 1/2 variable radio condenser. Construction is glass, steel and hard rubber. The condenser is approximately 9" in diameter and 7" high. It weighs approximately 7 lb. and is built to the highest standards. Condition is excellent. The condenser is original throughout, with no damage to the glass, no damage to the top, no damage to the base. Plates turn easily. A super nice piece of early wireless gear that seldom turns up in any condition, much less looking as nice as this. I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios, and I specialize in radios from the 1920's. I've been selling and shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique radio from me, you'll receive a radio that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
