Hey! Keep it down
in there!
Our grandpa, James Davidson Bellah, 1891-1972, was one of the first authorized
dealers in West Texas for RCA Radiolas, Radiotrons, and
Loudspeakers.
His workbench, perpetually overflowing with radios needing repair, assorted
parts and glass radio tubes, was in a room at the front of his house
at Saint Jo, Texas.
The Radiola 20 was one of the first battery powered units which he sold in
the Saint Jo area of Texas.
The unit is powered by batteries as shown on the label inside the lid
of the radio.
A man of varied talents, Grandpa Bellah received a diploma from
the Oak Lawn School of Music to play music for the silent movies.
More pictures to come.
