Airline console 62-101
#1

Here's an Airline that I picked up for a mere 25$ Stunning cabinet design that will get your attention . Once restored to new condition this radio will make you look twice and stop. Then you will say to yourself what a master piece , they don't make um like that anymore Icon_eek.

Nice that you are local and can get the consoles with no shipping headaches. I wonder who made that Airline? Is there a tip off in the model# or a reference somewhere like with Silvertones that sez who was the factory? There were some very good quality Airline sets made by "Name Brand" outfits.

Hay Paul, the model # on silvertone is 62-101, I did real good at Sargents auction last Saturday. Then last night I got on craigs list to look around and someone posted a at water kent model 84 that was an hour old and 15 minute drive away. Got it at 10.00pm 75$. How about that for luck. Here,s a few pics of it

Nice scores Fred, I really like the Airline.  Looks like you need a dial for the AK 84, Mark Oppat sells those:
