R.A.P. 846 Console Radio CLICK THE IMAGES FOR LARGER PICTURES
RAP 846 Service Manual HERE This floor standing console radio was manufactured by RAP of London in 1946. It's an up-market model with three short wave bands and an RF amplifier stage. It's also a lovely looking piece of furniture. There's an IF bandwidth switch, wide or narrow, which is as useful feature. An unusual feature of this radio is that one of the short wave bands is centered on 41.5 Mc/s - this is the old BBC VHF television sound channel. The dial is marked - Tele Sound. There's something else which is extremely unusual... There's a glass window at the back of the radio which is for viewing the glowing valves and the chromium-plated chassis. The RAP 846 is quite unique. |

READ THIS IMPORTANT WARNING NOTICE ONLY BUY A RESTORED RADIO FROM A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER Many early mains radios have a live chassis. That means that the metal work inside the radio may be LIVE (connected to the mains) and it can KILL YOU if you come into contact with it. Exposed screws or any other metal work on the outside of the cabinet or fascia of the radio must be checked for safety by a competent engineer. DO NOT CONNECT EXTERNAL WIRING TO SOCKETS ON YOUR RADIO UNLESS THE RADIO HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY A QUALIFIED ENGINEER If in any doubt, consult a qualified radio engineer. |
