THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

It was 1939 and the prospect of television in the home was looming large. In fact, this six-tube RCA even had a decal right on the front of the cabinet that says "Designed for Television Attachment." Meaning the sound from the TV broadcasts would be heard through the radio amplifier, and you'd just purchase a picture tube attachment. Of course, WW2 got in the way and delayed TV's widespread introduction, so this set remains a "what if" relic of those pre-war days. The chassis on this example has been gone through with all new wax and filter capacitors, all new mica caps, all new resistors, a new volume control, and a strong tested set of tubes. Brand new eye tube that is super bright! Plays with lots of volume and receives all of my local stations. Requires a long-wire antenna for reception (or use the built in RCA jack on the back of the chassis to stream your own audio). The cabinet had some veneer issues that were repaired, and it was totally refinished using multiple spray toners to recreate the original unique two-tone motif. 16"W x 9-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D.
