RCA C15-3 floor model
#1

Here's my latest project. Found locally in the newspaper and surprised it was would show up here in SC. It's a 15 tube set from 1935 with two sets of double doors. Radio had been completely recapped around 1960 based of the vintage of the caps used. The voltages were good and found a dead 6L7 mixer. Replaced the tube expecting it play well but no go. Cranked up the signal generator and soon discovered all the calibration screws were tighten down! Following re-alignment the radio is very sensitive and selective. Link below for photos. Richard
