Guest Curt Fouse Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hello! Sorry I can't help with your radio, but I have just about finished my 1930 Buick, and now I want to get my General Electric running board radio up and running. This radio was given to me by a fellow club member. It was made by RCA for GE. It is a portable (but very heavy.) It will run on 110 VAC or 6 volt battery voltage. It is an interesting radio and came with an adapter cord, Which I don't have, for 6 volt operation. A local friend was able to fix me up with the schematics, so baring any unforseen problems it should not be hard to get back on the air. I am a ham radio operator, K8UC, and more of less enjoy fooling around with the old radios. Do you work on radios? and do you at least have the schematics for the Transitone? Good luck, and have a good 2006.Curt in West Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you may not realize this, so I thought I'd point it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
