Ron's RCA Victor T8-14
#46

Thanks Ken.

I an only add that the AM band on this radio is HOT HOT HOT when connected to my longwire. It is as good as my Hammarlund HQ-129-X on AM. The two SW bands are pretty good as well. I see now that I was correct in calling this radio's front end sort of a junior version of a (1936) Magic Brain set in the original post of this thread, much like my C15-3. It is a better performer than my T7-5 and the front end is almost on a par with my C15-3.
