Tube bloat in an RCA?
#11

I restored a K130 last year. I liked how well it sounded and it looks pretty good also. It plays loud and has a lot of bass. The RCA jacks make it easy to add a matching transformer and iPod.

I gave it to my brother in law for his birthday and he uses it often as he likes the sound as well. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a decent performing radio.

Be careful removing the chassis. The tone switch isn't on the chassis like most radios. The tone switch is mounted to the cabinet and you will pull it apart if you remove the chassis without loosening the nut that holds it in the cabinet first. I had to replace mine for that reason.

I am looking at an 813k tomorrow. Hopefully it is as good a player as the k130 was.
