    $19.99

    This bundle pairs The Wiremold Company Catalog and Wiring Guide No. 24, printed 1971 in Hartford, Connecticut, with the RCA 1970 Reference Book from RCA Electronic Components of Harrison, New Jersey.

    The Wiremold catalog has wear on both covers from shop use, but the pages inside are tight and clean. The RCA pocket book has worn, chipped corners and edges with board showing and a green spot on the back cover, all shown in the photos.

    The Wiremold guide covers raceways, multi-outlets, lighting, fittings, and a table of the maximum number of conductors in boxes. The RCA book was made as a daily product reminder for people in radio, television, and communications, with tube basing diagrams, battery interchangeability charts, sales office lists, and a 1970 calendar. It carries a Morley Brothers, Saginaw, Michigan dealer imprint on the front cover.

    Questions buyers ask

    Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

    Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

    I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

    I process your order within 1 business day, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
