It is an RCA 111-K. I wasn't too optimistic when I looked at her not so great photos, but I enlarged them, and didn't see any structural damage or any other red flags. After wiping it down with an getting all the dust off. his is what it looks like.
I would imagine that it will be a nice sounding radio once it is gone through. I was pleasantly surprised to find the cabinet to be in such good shape. All of the veneer is intact with no lose edges or bubbles. The cord is trashed but the chassis is pretty clean, and there are no signs of Willard having lived in it.
I will be going over it with Gojo to clean it up some more.

I haven't seem one of them in a good long time.
I helped a buddy repair one of those and it sounded very good.
IIRC, that was the first year RCA used four 6K6's instead of two 6F6's. They also used a hi-mu phase inverter tube instead of a 6J5 or so.
