RCA Radiola 18 Speaker
#4

To amplify on that a bit, there were several speakers that RCA offered that were intended for use with "speakerless" table sets, like the Radiola 18. There was the 100A, as already mentioned, and that was the one that a lot of Radiola 18 sets were sold with. Then, there was the fancier Loudspeaker 103, an octagonal pressed wood frame, with a cute grille cloth that looked like needlepointe. It had the same LS 100A cone magnetic speeaker as the one mentioned above.

If you wanted to go the full course with RCA offerings, you would buy a Loudspeaker 106, which was an electrodynamic speaker in a cute floor cabinet, with needlepointe-effects similar to the LS 103. This model made any of the radiolas, or any other brand set, for that matter, sound better than any magnetic speaker could ever hope to.

Jensen, Magnavox, and Rola also made some excellent dynamic speakers for RCA, AK, Philco, and any other of that sort.
