![]() ![]() Maybe somebody out there with more technical knowledge knows? I have noticed that some of the high end RCA sets from the 30s had them. RCA Victor Clock Radio (1960s) - Sold Febru90.00 - RCA Creighton 6-X-8 (1955) - Sold Novem85.00 - RCA Deco Coin Operated Radio - Sold Decem95.00 - RCA Direction Finder - Sold J60. I really don't understand why RCA didn't use some kind of a bleeder circuit on these sets, because they seem like very well designed circuits otherwise. I certainly won't have room to re-stuff the origional twist lock cap with the size of those Atoms. The 110K certainly develops more voltage, so I was thinking of using a 30 MFD and 20 MFD Sprague Atoms rated at 500 volts in place of the 30 and 15 MFD main filter sections. I was worried at the time that was even cutting it close. So, I ended up using two 16 MFD Sprague Atoms rated at 475 volts instead of those little 450 volt Xicon imports. ![]() On the two 19Ks I restored, I was measuring an initial surge voltage of about 500 volts. Have you had any trouble with the initial surge voltage or breakdown of the input filter capacitor? One thing that concerns me on those sets is the intial surge voltage, because the power supplies don't have bleeder resistors. I tend to think that sets like the 19K, the 110K, and the 111K were some of the best looking radios that RCA ever made. I have found them to be the most economical.It sounds like you did a nice job on your set. ![]() Give me a day to pack it up and maybe the next to drop it at FedEx. Can't protect it from everything (fire, plane or truck crash, etc.), but everything within reason. I have packed and shipped guitars and radios worth over $2,000 so I know how to make it as safe as possible to ship an item and have it arrive safely. I am happy to answer any and all questions and provide additional photos upon request. I did work on the clean up the finish a little bit, pretty much just dusted it.ĭue to the phonograph's age, item is sold "as is" so please ask questions prior to the end of the listing. That is the panel I had to remove to get a photo of the tubes. IT WORKS, to a degree! I plugged it in, the tubes light up, sound is produced! The label that is upside down in the photos is now right side up. Today's listing is for an Antique RCA Victor Victrola Record Player and Radio Combo in (as best as I can tell) original condition! (Meaning: original knobs, finish, chassis, grill cloth, etc.) in the very near future so please have a look at my other listings! I will be listing many more antique radios, speakers, etc. ![]() Hi and thanks for having a look at my listing! ![]()
