What was the price of a radio in the 1920s?

Answer:

Answer

You could make a crystal radio with almost nothing but spare bits of wire and materials. Instructions were readily available for a quarter and could be found in Scout manuals and magazines.

High end radio sets in wooden cabinets and tubes went for anything from $100 to $325.
