Hi Guys,
Just thought I would post to the new forum. I just received a Westinghouse WR-10A tombstone radio. I purchased it because I wanted the transformer to restore my GE S-22A. Anyway, it came with a phono pre-amp installed that looks like it might have been a factory supplied option. It has a pre-amp volume control added to the front panel and the original 27 second detector tube has been replaced by a 56 tube, I suspect to reduce the filament draw, since there is an additional tube in the pre-amp. Oh, and the knob on the added pre-amp pot is exactly the same style as the original knobs on the radio. So, has anyone ever heard of a factory supplied optional phono pre-amp for such sets as the RCA R7, GE S-22, or the Westinghouse WR-10?
