1947 RCA Victor

1947Dec15LifeSeventy-five years ago today, the December 15, 1947, issue of Life magazine carried this RCA Victor ad showing some of the company’s offerings for the Christmas season.

It featured first the model 63E phonograph, which featured both plenty of volume for dancing, but also fine tone for the more serious music.

The handsome model 68R3 radio tuned in both AM and FM bands, and included the ability to plug in a record player.

Finally, the model 75X11 was only 10 inches long, and the dial face and pointer glowed when the set was on, making tuning of the AM band easy. It also came as model 75X12 in ivory-finish plastic.
