Los Angeles Radio Manufacturing
#1

Not sure where this should go, but since it pertains to non-Philco radios I'll start here and Ron or Chuck can move it if desired.

Collector and historian Floyd Paul published three books titled Los Angeles Radio Manufacturing (The First Twenty Years) back in the early nineties. These are an excellent resource but eventually went out of print. Reprinted with the author's permission by the Southern California Antique Radio Society, all three volumes are available once again.

These are a limited edition so don't wait too long to place an order:
