RCA R-93-B turntable

[TC Chris]

While I was extracting the RCA SS amplifier for the picture, I found the fiberboard bottom for an RCA R-93-B record player. The internet tells me it was a single-play 78 rpm turntable from 1938 with a crystal cartridge, one of those add-on that people bought to plug into the "phono" input that many radios had around that time. This would have been a pretty low-fi device, of course, but most people then did not have hi-fi ears. The bottom is in very good condition. It has the RCA logo sticker and the model no. sticker and four rubber feet. If anybody is restoring one of these, it's yours.
