Simplex model H AC
#1

I have owned a Simplex model H AC (circa 1931?) cathedral radio since the late 70's. Power cord is missing as well as the tubes, (3) 24's, (1) 45 and (1) 80. Front bezel surrounding tuning thumbwheel says "Clearcut", possibly a private label brand? Any info you can shed on this radio? I have photos I can email if anyone is interested. Thanks

Hi
I've got a couple of Simplex sets myself. Simplex chassis anyway. Seems like they got renamed and rebranded alot. Here's one of them it's a little newer than your set.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

Here's the other one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/53710524@N0...hotostream

This one is up and running. Picks up station pretty well considering the low budget circuit

I was trying to get one of those little cathedrals myself. Know of one for sale, but the either the guy wants to bundle it with a crumbling console or the price keeps going up. Last time I checked the price was $200 for it and it's missing a tube. I like them and will pounce when I find a fair priced one. Icon_smile

No matter where you go, there you are.
