Talking to a buddy recently inspired me to put together this sampling of my Radio Craftsmen amplifiers. From the left is the RC-2, RC-400, RC-450, RC-500, RC-500A and RC-550, ranging in dates from 1949 for the RC-2 to 1955 for the RC-550. This represents nearly all of the Chicago era Radio Craftsmen amplifiers, missing is a variation of the RC-500 that fits between the 500 and 500A. The company also made tuners, a preamp, chrome plated TV chassis and wall radios. After the mid 50s, a California company bought the name and slapped it on inspired amplifiers. I have been collecting these for over 20 years and have really enjoyed restoring them, notice the extremely rare RC-450 is 100% original. #radiocraftsmen #radiocraftsmenc400 #radiocraftsmen500a #tubeamplifier #tubeamp #kt66 #6v6 https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2NizgDui0/?igshid=18l65uaj7bshj
