Radio Receiver 106C

• Brand: Musaphonic

MARCONI/RCA MODEL 106C - In early 1922 RCA introduced the regenerative model 106C which had an external tickler mounted to the top of the receiver. This set was manufactured for RCA by the General Electric Co. The 106C still covered the same 200-3500 meters wavelength range that the earlier 106 and 106B did. It was originally designed by Marconi in 1915 as the Model 106 and issued on shipboard and shore installations during WWI. After the war, RCA was formed and produced the Model 106 B, C, and D. These sets were all manufactured for RCA by General Electric. The B and C models were all basically the same as the Marconi 106, with the addition of another crystal detector, in parallel with the first. The second detector could be a Carborundum type, since there was a battery and potentiometer incorporated in the circuit. 

The 106C also had a 3 pole double throw switch added to the front panel to switch between the carborundum detector or to the external Audion detector available via the added binding posts on the rear panel. This new Audion detector option was accomplished by three additional binding posts added to the rear panel to bring the total number to 12 binding posts.

The 106C also had a hardwood cabinet with straight sides that differed significantly from the earlier 106 cabinet with rounded corners and protruding baseboard.
