Latest addition - RCA TT-5
 

I received an email Mar 10th from a fellow collector here at Videokarma that a RCA-TT5 was for sale nearby in Long Beach CA. I exchanged emails for the last couple of weeks and had the appoinment to go over and look at it last week delayed to this week. After a week of worrying I went over this morning and made an offer and took it home. :banana:

Nice, I would like to find something like that.

It looks like a wonderful piece to restore and preserve.

Woooohooooo:tresbon:

Serial #1097

It even states "Superhetrodyne".
They must've been thinking of the early British sets, that were TRF's. :scratch2:

According to Riders RCA provided an revision for the TT-5 tuning in 1946 allowing channels 2-6 versus the original 1-5. RCA also provided a decal to place over the old channel indicator. See new channel decal on face of the RCA TT-5 in first photo above.

Wowee! What a neat thing to stumble onto. :thmbsp:

Nice, Richard, see you at convention.............

Ahh HATE Yew... Seriously, GREAT score ! Wish I could be so lucky !

Nifty!

Sweet find!

Awesome find!
One of the most iconic pre-war TV's of them all. The great thing is that it's not a large, heavy unit like the console models. If you really want a unique set-up, place it on top of one of deco flat-top 1939 RCA consoles that were built to receive TV sound. Better yet, get them working together!

Zowie!! Congratulations on this great find. I look forward to hearing more about the restoration.

Is there such a thing as an RCA Victor console radio, sold in 1939-1941, with a top large enough for the TT-5 to be placed? I would love to see a radio that looked like it "fit" the TT-5.

This one looks great but doesn't make any sense because the television attachment is on top of a flip top lid.
