I have a Freed-Eisemann model #30...in good physical shape. Needs a new cord. Any idea on valuation? Also have an Air King mdel 66...excellent shape and it works great. Curious on values...

Hi Beth:
According to the Collector's Guide to Antique Radios (4th Ed.), you have at least one real masterpiece!

The Air King Model 66 from 1935 is valued at over $3,000. The Freed-Eisemann Model 30 (which is listed as a battery powered set) from 1926 has a value between $110-$125.

I'm thinking since yours needs a new power cord, it might actually be a Model 30-D from 1937. If that's the case, the value would only be half as much as the Model 30 ($50-$60). The Model 30 has 6 tubes while the Model 30-D has 10.

If you were to sell these radios, there's no guarantee that anyone would acutally pay what these radios are worth. It depends on how the buyer grades the condition, where you live, and buyer trends in the market.
