    Rca victor radios
    I have an RCA Victor old radio with a model #JC61W solid state, it's a long radio like a boom box length, 200 watts, 120 volts. Could be a RJC61W, a input for phono on back, does say FM stereo on it, but it has to be old from the 40's or 50's... I know nothing about them at all, any help?

    Can you post a pic using "go advanced/manage attachments"?

    "Solid state" didn't exist in the 40's and 50's which makes me believe it may be a reproduction.

    I don't think it was a reproduction but it may have been from the early 60's, you are right, I did some research on solid state, so I'm thinking from the 60's at least

    Here is a link to purchase the service manual for the radio. http://www.samswebsite.com/photofact...&Search=Search


    RJ61W comes up as an RCA. If you purchase a Sam's service manual the year of the unit will be on the bottom of the pages. It's folder 894-6. The 6th manual in the folder.

    I have a #1218 around and it's 1972 and #477 is 1947 so it's between those years.

    When I was a kid I used to fix the old tube stuff and later solid state and tube auto radios.
