From our RCA friends north of the border in Montreal, Canada comes this really unique model A20 "Globetrotter." The cabinet is just amazing with the waterfall front, chrome effects fronting the original grille cloth, keyboard style tuning dial and side mounted tuning and tone controls. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a fairly good performer on broadcast, and some of the best shortwave reception I've seen on any home receiver. The sound is pretty good from the 5-inch speaker. I rigged up a mobile device cable to plug into the phono jack on the rear. Plug in the cable, switch the switch on the back to phono, and set the volume with the mobile device. The cabinet was refinished by a previous servicer. While it isn't as slick as my work, it is respectable. I gambled on this little sweetie having no idea its value. I think it is a very interesting and eye catching design. I sure would like to find it a good home. Requires an external antenna. 14"W x 11"H x 10"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $295.00. (0000080)
