Rogers project
#10

All pre war Rogers sets seem to have 25 cycle power transformers, post war varied on where they were sold. With regard to Rogers console radios, not all had fancy cabinets, by the early 40s the lower end ones were quite plain, and even the higher end ones were still quite conservative. I remember overhauling a 5 tube console for a guy from the same year, and there really wasn't any fancy burls or exotic wood inlays, just plain French walnut with shade laquered trim. Compared to something like a U.S Crosley they were nice, but kind of dull compared to a mid to upper range Philco, U.S or Canada. At least Rogers avoided using Tenite escutcheons for their dials, correct knobs are a problem but those are a lot easier to replicate then an escutcheon.
Regards
Arran
