John Vassos RCA 6K10 Radio

[Reece]

The looks are very mid-thirties chrome moderne, when a lot of furniture, tables, chairs, and so on, was coming out in black with chrome components. Somebody looking to be ultramodern in those days would have bought this set. Think: the Chrysler Airflow.

Now it'd be bought by someone wanting to look "Ultra-goth"

That's what it is- It was itching at the back of my mind that it was kind of like a somewhat 'current' style, but didn't know what... now I'm sure it's that... a goth radio. Only thing is that the tubes are the wrong types... they give off too much light and colour.

In that case: I rest my case

RCA did put metal rectifier tubes in some sets. I have one with a metal rectifier tube. I have not tried to restore it yet, so do not know the rectifier tube's condition.
