Early Vintage Radio Workbench Photos
Here are some photographs I have found of early radio and TV workbenches. If you have any vintage radio/TV
or electronic workbench photos from the 1960s or earlier to add here please contact me.

RCA Workbench
RCA Workbench - circa 1932
This photo with the RCA logo removed was also used on the cover of the 1933 Supreme Instruments catalog.
Note the Supreme 400B Diagnometer and other test equipment mounted in the wall above the RCA logo.
It was quite common in the late 1920s and early 1930's to have the radio test equipment custom built into the service bench.
