The list of my radio & TV collection!

You have a wonderful collection of RCA radios, John. I envy you a little ... Icon_biggrin Icon_thumbup I also agree with you that these models were the best and most technological in the company RCA in the 36th ... 37th years. I also agree that RCA is far ahead of Zenith in the quality of remote radio reception, but there are many criteria by which RCA is on par with Philco or inferior.

I compared the quality of 9K reception with my Zenit 9S-324BT and Philco 37-640x and saw that the Zenith 9S-324BT is inferior to its competitors in terms of sensitivity and noise level in all ranges, and Philco is inferior to RCA only in terms of noise level in the range 16 and 19 meters, but has a much higher amplifier power and sound level. And this is a very decent result, considering that Philco is only a 7-tube receiver.
           

For comparison, last week I repaired the 8-tube RCA C8-20 console receiver and it disappointed me very much - it is very inferior to all these models. But this is natural, because it is an earlier and imperfect generation of RCA.
   

Hmm. John, you gave me an idea for a new video ... Icon_smile Thank you ... Icon_biggrin
