RCA 128 finished
#11

Arran Wrote:I have the Canadian General Electric version of this set, it's called an M 61, has a square dial and a different cabinet design. I really should restore the set as it seems to be all there, I've heard that they are good performers. Some knucklehead added a phone jack to it and a double pole double throw bat switch in place of the rotary power switch to turn on the power, to switch out the radio and switch in the phono jack, I've removed most of that garbage. Did the speaker in your 128 have a metal baffle over the back to make the speaker look larger?

Arran
Hey Arran,
No, there wasn't any baffle plate, just the speaker. I've seen your GE version and even had the chance to get one, but I wanted a 128. I think the chassis are a lot a like though.
My 128 plays great! and have been using it almost nightly during the X-Mas holidays. I have an AMT3000 transmitter I built this summer and have been playing Jack Benny Christmas episodes through it. It also pulls in stations all over on just a short indoor antenna. So by all means, you should restore your GE! The only complaint I had was it was a pain getting at some of the old caps that were buried in there! Good luck with yours Icon_thumbup !
