RCA 9TX-3 "Little Nipper" (1939)
(wood tube table radio)

RCA 9TX-3 "Little Nipper" (1939)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Even with a stranglehold on the radio industry holding all the patents for superheterodyne technology, RCA themselves manufactured pretty good radios. Slowly some companies were able to pay RCA for the right to build super-hets, and eventually the patent ran out and opened the door for many small companies to do the same. The 9TX-3 is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where necessary. The radio is a good performer across the dial. Gary stripped the old finish off, and ended up with a beautiful "piano" finish on the Walnut cabinet. The original knobs are made of "Beetle" plastic, Catalin and Bakelite. This very unique RCA radio is ready for your collection and is priced right! 9"W x 5"H x 4"D.
