For Sale; Radiola 20 for Victrola 7-30 et. $45 + shipping

[EarlH]

This Radiola 20 came out of a 7-30 that I had 6-8 years ago but the legs were cut off and I never came up with a good example to put this in. Since then of course other things have come along and I wouldn't have room for one of those floor hogs so there's no point hanging on to this. I did have a friend of mine go through it and he did say that it worked well for him, but it was a real pain to tune a station in with and it also needs a very long wire antenna and it also needs to be grounded. I don't know what other Victrolas this might fit into, but the wood panel is 16" by 16 ¾". I do not have any tubes for it unfortunately and it didn't come with any. The guy that worked on it used his tubes to test it. There are guys on youtube that have posted videos on Radiola 20's and how to tune them and they seem to work ok once you figure that end of it out. RCA seemed to have sold a lot of them, but they are fairly early and I'm sure are quirky like a lot of those old radios are.

If you need more pictures, or if you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll help as best I can. Brunswick also used these sets in some of the machines they sold, but I'm not sure about the panel size.

Wasn't there a guy who was looking for a radio similar to this for his Brunswick on here?

[EarlH]

He needs the earlier radio and I forget the model number but I think it's the Radiola VIII or AR 812 it seems. I have one around here, but I haven't run across it yet. This one might work in his machine, but he is probably wanting the other set. That one usually turns up as a portable radio and they seem to have a following of sorts.

That was me looking! (still am) I do not believe this would have worked out in the Brunswick though.
