RCA 1961 Living Stereo - Greensboro

Post: # 11813Post Motorola minion »

RCA Victor PVCR-45 (3-channel) at a reasonable price. Look at the tube chart, there are 3 pair of 6BQ5 :o

An RCA 3-channel that was marketed by other major
brands from 1959 to early 1960's.

I love the modern jet-age style controls, and the RP-215
is a nice record changer.

I think the speakers disappear back into the
sides of the cabinet.

That RCA changer is the cutest changer ever built. Just something about it. I like the knobs they used on those models. Nice little rig, Mr. Mogul. Thanks for sharing.... :D :D

That tuner chassis looks like one that uses a power transformer, but also uses series-string tube filaments. A PT with a 35W4 rectifier.

The '61 model above was the predecessor of this RCA 4VF model available locally. I like the '61 changer and these later RCA record changers too. IIRC the 4VF here had a more conventional PP 6bq5 amp, I think separate from the tuner/preamp.

Roger, do you have the rest of the model number? I'm curious about the chassis that might be in your post.

Dave, the VCR-45 that you posted I have. It's a nice compact model when the speakers are not extended from the cabinet and the amp looks to be very powerful. I still need to restore it, one of these days it will make the top of my list of units to work on. :( ;)
