  • Notes

  • In 1924 RCA sold a version of the Radiola Super-Heterodyne AR-812 to Brunswick in a square panel with model number AR-813 for use in the phonograph/radio combinations Brunswick built. In 1924 RCA also produced a radio only console model AR-813 sold with no reference to Brunswick.

    The Radiola Super-Heterodyne AR-813 incorporated a loop antenna in the thick front door. The AR-813 panel used in the Radiola Super-Heterodyne was virtually identical to the panel used in the Brunswick AR-813 except for the Brunswick tag on the front panel was replaced with a tag warning about the rheostat setting. Serial numbers for the Brunswick AR-813 are typically in the 300,000-325,000 range while the RCA AR-813 are higher than 325,000. Speculation exists that these sets were a RCA overun of Brunswick models packaged as console radios to use up existing inventory.
