Some New Acquisitions To My Radio Collection
This Summer I have had the pleasure of adding two radios to my little tube collection.
The first acquisition was a non-functioning 1945 RCA M-46. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/...psgjbmqmsu.jpg I had Videokarma member, GregB, do a recap/repair on it. Although the cabinet is in okay shape, there's a part of me that wants to take it apart and refinish it. My second acquisition, a 1941/42 RCA A-23, kind of fell into my lap. It had been recently recapped and some tubes replaced. The cabinet was beautiful, and the asking price was even more attractive so I couldn't resist. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/...psdff2ax0t.jpg Because there's really not a lot of Shortwave Stations, or even AM Stations that play music, these two radios will spend a lot of time serving as an iPod dock because they both have functioning RCA phonograph inputs. They are now part of my humble little collection along with my mother's VR-60 that she bought as a young woman during WWII. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/...psbbt8dmfo.jpg And my SABA Freudenstadt 8 that belonged to a former RCAF member while stationed in Germany during the 1950's. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/...psznf2otkj.jpg |
Nice sets !

You have a very nice collection!
Thank you for the pictures and descriptions. |
Nice!

They appear to be Canadian models, as I don't recognize the model numbers.
Three bands of short-wave, as well. Great collection start. |
That console is really nice looking. I haven't seen one like it. They really managed to break up the big square look with some eye-catching geometry.
|
To add to the above statement; the wood finishes of that period were incredible I think.
