I understand the console was a Western Electric so RCA must have taken their gear with them when they sold the studio to Radio Recorders. Radio Recorders supposedly had the first Ampex 200 in Hollywood because this was where Bing Crosby worked. I understand that machine ended up with custom electronics at the Mastering Lab as their 15/30 1/4" playback deck. Talk about gear with a serious vibe!
I've had to piece what little I know about Radio Recorders Annex together from a lot of different sources so this may not be entirely accurate. The studio was located at 1016 North Sycamore Avenue in Hollywood.
