This restoration of an 1947 RCA 65F for a local museum. This is a battery powered radio that was upgraded with an RCA CV-42 “Electrifier” that allows the radio to be plugged into wall voltage. Thia was a common upgrade as houses received electricity.

This one had all the usual issues of 75 year old radio. After new caps, mains cable, replaced rubber wire, new OT, good cleaning and alignment, it’s ready for another 75 years.
