RCA 75X11

A nice performing little AA5 radio.  I use it regularly.

I have seen that model for sale and have been tempted to buy one.  It is a nice looking model which was ahead of its time in styling.

I bet it has "Golden Throat Tone" like most RCA Victors of that era. Some from that era had a phono jack in the back for the 45 turntable attachment. According to Phil's Old Radios the dial light behind the brass cone makes subtle reflective effects when lit.

The acrylic dial was oxidized on both the inner and outer surfaces.  It took a few hours of wet sanding with automotive sandpaper to bring it back to clear.  I also repainted the gold surfaces and washed and remounted the grille cloth in addition to the electrical restoration.  I also have a RCA 8R71 AM FM unit that has the phono jack.  The 75X11 has none.  It is golden throat certified, though.

That's a good looking radio. I wasn't aware of that model. I've added the 75X11 to my eBay auto search list.
