However because the market had different tastes even the Canadian divisions of American manufacturers like RCA, G.E and even Philco designed and manufactured a lot of Canada only models...........One of the things I enjoy about the Internet is seeing a lot of the Canadian radios that don't show up around here. Yeah, the Addison Catlin sets show up a lot, but there are a lot of Canadian radios that don't, and many of those are really cool. Three that come immediately to mind is a round top (cathedral shape) Templetone consolette and the Canadian Westinghouse radio that has popped up on the television show Two and 1/2 Men. The third is the beautiful Rogers that member Dan Walker recently restored.
