A pair of Radiola 33's
#1

Hi folks! I haven't been totally out of things with radios lately and just picked up a pair of Radiola 33's this past week. The first one I found at a resale shop with an earlier Radiola horn. It was working as they claimed, but several of the tubes were weak (the 27 was shorted!) and it was missing the lid and the trim. Also, the power cord was a nightmare! So, I ended up buying one off my friend which had a cabinet trashed by graffitti scratched into it. Swapped him the weak globe tubes for part of the deal as his set had far stronger tubes and came home with that and the trim for $30. After a cord repair and getting a clean bill of health, my Radiola 33 works pretty well! The other unit works as well and I am pondering maybe finding a better case for it later on. Right now I need to attach the trim back on and maybe find a more correct speaker. The horn is neat, but has its limitations.

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
