About the Item

RCA Radiobar 1935 Bluetooth Rare Early Model Restored. This unique early model is different than the typical Philco radiobars, which we also have specialized in selling over the years. This model uses an RCA radio, not a Philco radio. This was the last year of the RCA model. In 1936 all models had Philco radios. Radiobars were aimed at the more affluent of the Depression years. Manufactured by the Radiobar Corporation of America in Los Angeles during the 1930′s, they not only functioned as RCA or Philco Console Radios but they were constructed to look like a fine piece of walnut furniture and presented a novel way to conceal your bar. All of the glass is original and in pristine condition. The chrome glass/decanter holders are shiny and bright. This overall piece is in great condition. The cabinet and radio have been recently restored and are ready for another 50 years of fun, with a few added improvements. “RadioBar provides the nucleus for formal and informal entertaining…hosts proclaim it, guests thrill to it…for the RadioBar with Philco is all things in one! The 1936 models, all exclusively equipped with Philco radio receivers … are ideal for the living room, the den, the library, and the “rumpus” room. Radiobar provides the host or hostess with a convenient and superbly appointed means of entertaining! The Radiobar is not a “cellarette” to hide, but a magnificent piece of exquisitely designed furniture!” Additionally, this radio has been fitted with a 1/8-inch adapter which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smartphone, iPod, or record player. Access your old vinyl, or tune into Pandora, Apple Music, or the playlist on your computer to provide the tunes. Use the Bluetooth connection to bring the warm, bright, analog sound of a tube amplifier to any music or recordings you choose. The quality of the sound is excellent – just ask any guitarist since these kinds of tube-based amps are still being made and used today. You will have the best of “digital” and “analog” combined. In addition to the high-style design, and the uniquely amusing combination of a radio and a bar, the Radiobar is featured in so many movies of the period as a kind of iconic symbol of luxury. You’ll find it in the Bogart/ Cagney film “Angels with Dirty Faces” and taking center stage in” Gold Diggers of 1933″ when Joan Blondell and Warren Williams meet in her stylish Art Deco Flat. Catch another glimpse of it in the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock thriller “39 Steps” with Robert Donat. Size when closed: 43½” high, 27″ wide, 13″ deep Size when opened: 54″ high, 45″ wide.
