The Radiola 33 Consolette

The stunningly attractive RCA Radiola model 33 was produced throughout much of 1929 and into the opening months of 1930. The 33 was a lower end 6 tube tuned radio frequency model, higher end models had a higher tube count and superheterodyne circuitry. The 33 was designed to be a volume seller and was heavily promoted through an extensive series of beautiful modern looking print ads. The strikingly modernistic Radiola 33 was built in a consolette type cabinet, consolette radios, popular only during the late 20s and early 30s were essentially table mount radios with long spindly legs.
