I was taking pity on an RCA radio yesterday that really needs to find a better home and I noticed something odd that I never expected in an RCA. This was a model K130 I was looking at and I noticed it uses four 6F6 tubes! Are those all outputs and if so, why? It also uses a rather hefty looking power chassis with two 5U4 rectifier tubes. I would almost accuse them of tube bloat with this model, but that seems rather heavy and the wattage draw is rated at 200 watts on the tag. So... is this just a radio with tube bloat or is it actually a performer? 
No matter where you go, there you are.
