Title A name given to the resource RCA's “Treasure Chest” Adventures: Technician Service Caddy (1950–1952) Subject The topic of the resource RCA; Radio; TV; Broadcast; 1950s; Tubes; Description An account of the resource This is a rare "Treasure Chest" tube caddy awarded to RCA technicians as a prize for excellent service. During a specific promotion in the early 1950s, RCA technicians could collect 10 "treasure coins" and turn them in for this exclusive "Treasure Chest" caddy. Only the best of the best were rewarded the caddy as earning those coins weren't easy! Often, many electrical units back then were at times very dangerous to service and repair. Definitely a risky job! This particular designed unit was created and used during the important transitional period from radio to TV tubes. It was only available for a specific promotional campaign making the caddy not available commercially. It's very important historically for how it was awarded to only the most excellent and skilled RCA technicians who could collect those 10 treasure coins during that era. It features a red-brown exterior, black wooden interior, square latches, and a leather-strap compartment for fuses. Several fuses are still sitting attached ready for anything! This is a remarkable historic piece of broadcasting history that features 64+ tubes and tube boxes, tools, handwritten technician notes, and many other assortments; naming this RCA caddy a time capsule frozen in time and truly museum-worthy!
