Description

LOW STARTING BID, NO RESERVE AUCTION PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION 1933  EXTREMELY RARE  RKO RADIO KING KONG MOVIE  RADIO TRANSCRIPTION RECORD PROMOTIONAL *WOR 97284-A & WOR 97284-B ETCHED ON ALBUM *****Key Characteristics of this Disc:

  • Broadcasting Use Only: These discs were never sold to the public. They were used to distribute content like the "King Kong" promo spots shown here to affiliated radio stations.
  • Large Format: At 16 inches, they are significantly larger than standard 12-inch LPs and require specialized "transcription turntables" or modified equipment to play.
  • Technical Details: They typically play at 33 1/3 RPM and, as noted on your label, often "Start Outside" (playing from the outer edge toward the center), though some vintage transcription discs start from the inside.
  • Scarcity: Many were intended to be destroyed or returned after a single airing, making survivors like this "King Kong" record quite rare and historically significant.
  • This vintage 16-inch "King Kong" transcription disc is both a significant piece of cinematic history and a rare find for radio collectors
  • This particular record likely contains promotional "spots" or trailers for the 1933 film, featuring audio clips and dramatic narration meant to draw listeners to the theater.
  • SELLING THIS GREAT ANTIQUE ALBUM IN AS IS FOUND CONDITION. NO RETURN SALE. I DO NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO TEST AS YOU NEED A SPECIALIZED PLAYER TO PLAY. 
  • (PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK).
  • PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.
  • Specialized Equipment: To play this safely, you generally need a broadcast-grade transcription turntable or specialized units.
  • The Stylus: Since transcription discs were often cut with wider grooves, using a standard modern LP needle (0.7 mil) can result in excessive surface noise. For the best sound, a 2.0 mil or 2.5 mil stylus is recommended.
  • I WILL CAREFULLY WRAP AND PACKAGE FOR SAFE SHIPPING TO YOUR HOME. ** PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I HAVE SENT YOU AN INVOICE IF YOU ARE WINNING BIDDER SO THAT I MAY ADD INSURANCE TO FINAL INVOICE.
PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR FAVORITES AND COME AND CHECK OUT ALL OF MY OTHER VINTAGE / ANTIQUE ITEMS.
