Description
1924
RCA Radiola III
Radio
receiver
.
Made by Westinghouse.
Good transformer.
A pair of WD-11
display tubes included.
Ready for display or restoration.
Up for bids is a 1924 RCA Radiola III radio receiver made by Westinghouse.
Included are a pair of non-working, WD-11 display tubes.
As researched in the excellent book, "Radiola The Golden Age of RCA" by Eric Wenaas, this particular Radiola III was part of the third of four production runs for this set.
It is stamped with the serial number "490660 RCA" on the bottom of the cabinet and has the large Radiola III decal designating this receiver as a Westinghouse manufactured Radiola III Type R 1.
The cabinet finish is original and smooth to the touch.   The bakelite panel is in excellent cosmetic condition showing little wear and has no cracks or chips.  The "China White" labeling is, for the most part, in very good condition.
The nickel plated station selector pointer shows a bit of wear while the antenna switch and all original binding posts are in excellent condition.
The two-tube socket bakelite panel is in good condition but, like many Radiola III's, the rubber supports dry rotted and are missing.  The panel still shows off the pair of WD-11 display tubes nicely.
The transformer is good, the battery terminal cables are intact with their metal voltage tags attached to each lead.  The four capacitors are missing.
As it is, this example of the Radiola III would make a fine addition to any radio display or as an excellent donor set to restore another.
This sharp looking
ninety four-year-old
radio measures approximately 6 1/2 inches tall, 7 1/2 inches wide, 6 inches deep.

The pair of WD-11 display tubes will be individually double-bubble wrapped and secured inside the package.
