The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Congrats on this early radio phono console!

Personally (and this is just my preference and no slight on your purchase) I would like to get one of the Brunswick machines with the radiola just because it’s just so odd to see an RCA product with a non-Victor turntable that’s not a Frankenstein machine. (But that’s just me.)

BTW can you get a battery eliminator for these early battery op Radiolas? I knew they had them for those “farm radios” when the farmers finally got electricity in the home they hook them up with a battery eliminator to use in a wall outlet. And how long did the battery run on the Radiolas until it was stone dead?

Great rescue on your old radio-phonograph. Always a good day when those go into preservation.

If you want a vintage power converter this thread can give you ideas of what was used in the 1920s and '30s-- https://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewto ... 1&t=298729

I saw one of these once in an antique store in Binghamton,NY. It wasn't in working condition, unfortunately. edisonplayer.
