Vintage Radio GE-K52

  

VINTAGE 1930'S GE K-52 TABLE TOP RADIO. Some damage, over right food, wood veneer peeling. Ac cord is tattered, not sure of working/operation condition.

OWN YOUR PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY! Broadcast (MW) and Tropical/Marine/Police Band(s) = 150-200m. Alternating Current supply (AC) / 115 Volt. Electro Magnetic Dynamic LS (moving-coil with field excitation coil).

Table-Cathedral-Type (upright, round top or gothic arch, not rounded edges only). 12 x 14.5 x 8.5 inch / 305 x 368 x 216 mm. The General Electric model K-52 has been made with the chassis R-28-P which is listed under RCA Victor. This chassis received more than a dozen different cabinets, from simple table models to consoles. There are two very similar schematics, one is for RCA Victor 110, 111 and 115 - see Beitman 1-179 and the other for the chassis R-28-P - see Beitman 1-169.

Also Rider's brings as RCA R28 (3-4) and R28P (4-29). The tube 58 is the RF amplifier, the 2A7 first detector/oscillator. There is no IF tube but a 3 circuit band filter, followed by the tube57 as second detector and power amplifier 2A5. Thus the receiver GE K-52 has only 5 tuned circuits pus a tickler coil (L6) for the IF.
