I just finished elec-resto on a 1928 Radiola 18 TRF . It sounds awesome thru its companion 100A spkr.
I know these TRFs types are limited in reception tuning-range. Seems this receiver is only good up to about 1500 KHz. Was wondering if anyone has any RCA books, or vintage info, that may tell the factory tuning-range specs of the Radiola mod 18? Thanks! Randal
