  • Notes
  • The model K-75 from Canadian General Electric is similar with RCA Victor R 49. It is a 6-legged low-boy console with stretcher base, with three knobs nearly in line (middle only a little bit lower) and above the two outer knobs there is an equal escutcheon - like two eyes ... See the very same array of two escutcheons and the knobs here for model K-60-P and for model K-63 - and something similar for this Canadian General Electric model K-75.

    Data Sources: "Mallory Yaxley Radio Service Encyclopedia Canadian Volume" Cross Reference Note, CGE Model K75 is a Victor R49.  " Radios of Canada by Lloyd Swackkhammer" Quote: RCA in the US was originally formed to be a patent holding company and contracted out the manufacture of their radios to the Wetinnghouse and General Electric companies. They also followed this procedure in Canada, using the Canadian Westinghouse and Canadian General Electric companies. Many times during this era sets were made with identical chassis, except they used different model numbers for GE, Westinghouse and RCA Victor brands.
