[Vintage-Radio] RCA Victor Model 19K console

[Bob Scupp]

Edward-

Thank you for your collection information. Sounds like
you are like me with TMF (Too Much Fun!). I also have
another mid 1930's RCA model console in storage. I
need to get it out of mothballs and do some
maintenance work on it. I also have a fairly large
collection of All-American Five tabletop radios. Since
I grew up in New Jersey, I have been concentrating
more on Emerson. I was surprised at their vast array
of models, designs and especially colors.

I do have an Atwater Kent model 48 also in storage. I
need to get that one out of mothballs and restore.
Guess I am like some others Edward. Too many projects
and not enough time to get them done. But I am having
a great time!
