Ok so I have been collecting radios for 8 months or so. I started with philco radios and then 3-4 months late I found something wonderful!
Philco clock radios Icon_mrgreen
I have a bunch of them now since I collect and restore clocks so a clock and a radio together is like a slice of heaven...

Well it has gone one step further. I recently found these:

I love this idea and want them for the lights in my library. I used to do lamp repair so I can most likely fix those that are in poor condition.

Anyone have these?
are they good players?
Does anyone know what shades are most original to use?
Does anyone have extra parts or lamps they want to sell? Icon_mrgreen
