I have been looking for a Dumont RA-108A Mansfield. Have not seen 1 for sale yet. Seen a lot of these 103s. If anyone ever sees a 108A Mansfield, shout at me.
 It was my mother's 1st TV and want to try and find one for her and restore it. Everything you wanted to know about the Dumont RA-103 . . . http://antiqueradio.org/DuMontRA-103Television.htm

Here is the 108 I brought home from Wisconsin a few years ago.
I haven't restored it yet, but power it up every so often. The radio has a wonderful sound and the crt does light and shows snow. When I first got it, it would pick up a signal but in really needs a recap to function as it should. She is a beauty though.

DuMont
I paid $40 for the table model version in May. As usual, the relay and WW focus pot was bad, lots of e-caps, this is the 2nd 12QP4 extra weak. [The 'LP4 is too long in this set]. Console not as easy to find room for.
I would not want it for more than $100. Others might disagree. It does look good.

That one sure looks clean. Possibly the light finish is harder to find than the mahogany.

I wouldn't hesitate to pay $225 for it. Especially if the CRT is good. Early Dumonts are very scarce around here.

Very nice. I have never seen an RA-103 in blonde, assuming that's an original finish rather than a bad strip job. The cabinet looks identical to my RA-103 Meadowbrook, apart from the color. I believe the square dial (rather than round) makes it a RA-103D.
What it's worth depends partly on where you live. I have only found a couple of early DuMonts here in the Pacific NW. Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios http://antiqueradio.org/index.html

I don't see how it could have been refinished, the front panel lettering all looks original and near perfect. It also has the light colored knobs that match the blond finish.

Ah, I didn't look at the close-up before. Yes, it looks original, and in gorgeous condition. What a beauty.

the closest i've seen ( and i have one ) is a RA-110 , it is set up the same way the mansfield is except the dial area is square , and i might have seen one like my 110 but mostly seen the 112 and 109 sets on craigslist in the last few months
