.jpg "RCA 24BT-2 Farm Radio (1940)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| Popular wisdom in antique radios is that it's no use listing battery radios. Nobody wants them because they don't want to fool with the batteries. I have solved that problem by building a regulated AC supply for this otherwise very nice RCA 24BT-2. The finish appears original and is fairly nice, with a few mars and dings from 81 years in the business. I finished the restoration started by a previous owner. I had to make up a power harness with an original plug. You can unplug it from the power supply and use a battery if you want. Capacitors replaced by previous owner. I gave it a full set of high testing tubes and a full alignment Receiver sensitivity is fairly good. Requires an external antenna. Cool shutter mechanism connected to the on-off switch to indicate power is on. Unlike regular AC radios, battery sets have almost instant warmup for you impatient types. All in all it's a fairly nice radio. 18"W x 11"H x 9-1/2"D. |
