_nr2.jpg "RCA 143 (1934)") |
 RCA designed and manufactured some great radios in the 1930's. Even though RCA had a stranglehold on the industry, controlling patents for TRF and Superheterodyne radios, a few companies were given permission to utilize the patents, most notably the Gilfillan Brothers in Los Angeles. A few other companies were allowed, but they had to manufacture their radios in the Gilfillan factory. The 143 is an eight-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio with its new "magic brain" circuitry, which was basically tuned RF with VCA, was the top of the line in 1935. This huge radio has a ton of volume and a tone control with wonderful fidelity through an 8-inch speaker. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked, replacing where necessary. A safety fuse, power cord, antenna lead and an audio input cable were installed. Gary did a complete restoration on the cabinet. The cabinet is made of Walnut and the finest Burl Walnut and the finish is colored with toner and semigloss lacquer. The original chassis, speaker, and knobs are with the set. The grille cloth is a pretty good reproduction of the original, but the color was wrong, so Gary recolored it to look more like the original. The model 143 is pretty rare, and here is one restored to perfection and ready for your collection! 20"H x 18"W x 14"D. $1,195.00. (1600598) |
