Distant memory of thrown out RCA console that had AM radio but no FM radio, and phono
Almost 40 years ago a neighbor tossed an RCA B&W TV, phono and AM radio console. I stripped out the TV chassis, which also had the AM tuner (two tubes, (6BE6 and 6BA6) attached on the side. The AM detector was some unused section of a tube in the TV circuits, and audio out was the TV audio output circuit. I vaguely remember seeing a record changer in this thing as well. The TV chassis was stripped apart for parts long ago, to build a ham transmitter most likely.
It does seem to be an odd combination in a console, AM without FM radio, phono and of course TV. Vintage style of the cabinet probably from around 1957 or so.
Anyone remember such a console system? Everything in AK always has AM and FM if it has any radio at all, but haven't seem just AM without FM. There was an Emerson portable TV with AM radio, but not a console and without phono.
