Nice find on the ad.
Anthony,
R.K. Radio Labs wre located on "Radio Row." That was a neighborhood of several blocks in lower Manhatten with dozens of electronics/radio/tv dealers and parts distributors. You name it in electronics and it could be found there. The whole area was razed in the late 60's to make way for The World Trade center.

Welp, seeing as how I was born and razed in Manhattan (hatched in the late 50's) I spent many a weekend during the late 60's haunting all the war surplus shops on Canal Street buying all manner of useless trinkets. Finally cobbled together a crude flight simulator! Talk about a weird kid.
I do recall some electronics stores along Church St (this become 6th Ave north of Canal) so that's getting near the general area.
So am guessing that ARKAY is long out of business? I kinda miss Lafayette Radio even though they did sell alot of Japanese "junk". Sheesh, who else is old enough to remember when "Made In Japan" was considered the same way most look at things made in China today?
