Since we are talking about nice sounding old radios...
I have to include this litle gem. It is a Sylvania 1968 model, solid state, W/a PAIR of push-pull TO-3 outputs, to drive a 4" long-throw speaker. (I have a picture of it on the "ever hear of sylvania speakers" thread)The speaker is sealed in the enclosure, with foam behind the speaker, and heavy wood all around. It probably produces 5 or more watts, (it draws 25 watts from the line, is transformer powered, with 2-watt emitter resistors in the output ckt.)and has better bass than ANY table radio I have seen. It appears to have been made to compete with the KLH radios of the day.
The model # is rm-90-k there is one with a slightly different cabinet on the 'bay, right now.
