Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Crestwood Model 612V3 Radio-Phonograph. The ad has a large picture of this unit with the front gate down, the phonograph out and playing a “RCA Victor Red Seal recording of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto #2 in C Minor”. There is another, smaller picture of the set with the gate closed and the caption claims that it can play records or the radio in this position. The ad headline claims that “In this superb Victrola the Golden Throat reaches new perfection”. This unit also has the Silent Sapphire pickup so no needle is needed for the phonograph and the radio will receive FM broadcasts. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
