Im Gegensatz zu Radioempfängern für kommerzielle und/oder militärische Zwecke und den frühen Empfängern für Morsezwecke nennen wir hier Radio bzw. Rundfunkempfänger. Aber: Gemäss internationaler Sprachregelung führt der Radiokatalog Band 1 alle Empfänger mit aktiven Bauteilen als RADIO. Wir unterscheiden hier ebenfalls nicht, ob mit Röhren bestückt, hybrid, mit Transistoren oder/und ICs.

Principle
Super-Heterodyne (Super in general); IF-Freq. 455 kHz; 2 AF-stage(s)Superhet - normally without a preamplification stage (as far as known). Please use «To add informations to model» if you know more! Thanks.
Récepteur TSF superhétérodyne. Normalement sans préamplification de HF.
Superhet ohne Vorstufe.
Nicht immer war bei der Erfassung klar, ob der Empfänger eine Vorstufe aufweist oder nicht. Im Zweifelsfall kam das Gerät in diese Kategorie.
Tuned circuits
6 AM circuit(s);
Wave bands
Broadcast and Short Wave (SW).

Literature/Schematics
RCA Victor Instruments Service Notes 1939
I purchased this radio @ one of our clubs swapmeets earlier this year. I had to repair do it works well now. In addition, I did have to clean & refinish most of the cabinet.
This is a semi rear view of the set. I did get a picture of the octal resistor (ballast ?) It is interesting that it seems to only operate pilot light so it has the same light brightness from initial turn on.
