THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
I have spent days in researching the maker of this radio and came up with virtually nothing. Clearly the radio was a very high quality and early model…but my research was in vain. It is a full sized cathedral radio and the electronics were patented by RCA during the Armstrong patent era. My tech offered the chassis resembled those made by the Chicago, IL, based RPC. RPC made many radios for other companies and especially house brands. I sense the radio has been refinished by an earlier collector with reproduction and period correct speaker cloth. I noted the fancy floral Bakelite knobs, which are seen only on the more deluxe radios of the era. The radio is a six-tube TRF and as thus, is a robust player. My tech's effort has been rewarded with a fine player which uses earlier technology. His addition of a mini-jack offers you the ability to connect this wonderful AM radio to any modern external device. Bluetooth is available for only $25 additional! 18-1/2"H x 16"W x 12"D. |
