Radios for Sale

Experience the charm of vintage radios like never before!

The National Capital Radio & Television Museum’s shop is a delightful destination offering a range of products and gifts that celebrate the history and impact of broadcasting. We feature a variety of NCRTV merchandise, including magnets, enamel pins, and t-shirts. Our gift shop also offers an ever-changing selection of vintage broadcasting memorabilia such as mugs and stickers. Browse our unique selection of books covering radio, television, and broadcast media.

In addition to these items, we offer vintage, refurbished radios. We retrofit a select few of these classic machines with Bluetooth technology, so you can enjoy the nostalgic sound of yesteryear with the convenience of modern connectivity. We can arrange delivery in the Maryland suburbs, DC, and Northern Virginia, and shipping may be available for smaller items at an extra cost.

We are constantly adding new radios to our shop as we finish refurbishing them. For more details about the types of radios we currently have for sale please email info@ncrtv.org or bbelanger@ncrtv.org

Tubes

The National Capital Radio & Television Museum has thousands of vacuum tubes for radios, tvs, and amplifiers for sale. These are surplus to our own needs at the Museum. Our warehouse has a wide variety and our inventory expands almost weekly. Even if your tube is NOT LISTED, please make an inquiry as we may be able to help. We sell both new and used tubes. Please contact us for tube availability and pricing.

To order vacuum tubes send an email to NCRTV Tube Sales (info@ncrtv.org) or call the Museum (301) 390-1020. Please give us the specific tubes, new or used, and quantity you desire along with your mailing address, email, and phone number. A Museum staff member will acknowledge your request within two business days.

There are two payment options:

  1. We can invoice you for the tubes via PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account to pay us.
  2. You can send us a check for the amount due. Mailing instructions will be our email confirming the purchase. Tubes are fully tested before shipping and carefully packed to ensure safe arrival. We usually ship tube orders within a week and they are sent out by the U.S. Postal Service unless otherwise arranged. Do you have radio tubes that you’d like us to appraise? Please call 301-390-1020.
