These are great radios. The 1929 Victor R-32, R-52, RE-45, and RE-75 came out at the time RCA and Victor merged. The superhet sets were sold as RCA sets, and Victor already had these fine TRF sets in development and were sold under that name.

Though they are TRF sets, the ganged tuning condensers provide excellent tuning, and these sets have very good sound. No AVC of course, but they are very sensitive when aligned properly.

There were lots of them made so parts are around. In 1930 a similar family was marketed but I think they were RCA Victor labeled radios.

Liked your photos. You kitty knows where to go to survey the surroundings! Good luck in getting the pot you need, you will enjoy it when it is working properly.
