  • Notes
  • The RE-45 is a combination radio/phonograph set, designed and produced in 1929, just as RCA was preparing to purchase The Victor Talking Machine Company. The first units went on sale just about the time the merger was complete, and thus may be considered "RCA Victor" products. Both walnut and mahogany finishes were available. Approximately 108,000 RE-45's were produced in 1929 and 1930.
     

    The RE-45 consists of a 6 tube, 5 stage TRF AM-tuner with seperate 4-tube audio amplifier, electrodynamic speaker and 78 rpm Electrola record player.
