RCA 6T2 tombstone
 
I scored this RCA 6T2 tombstone radio from around '36 for $60. Overall, it looks complete and unmolested (at least from the topside) and there is a little veneer damage along the bottom of the cabinet. This looks like a very restorable radio and I used to have a similar model that had a tuning eye (always regretted getting rid of that one).

RCA tombstones of this era are great radios; you made a good find.

Nice diamond in the rough. My Grandpa worked at the Camden plant when that was made.
I have a nice and similar chassis for a 5T6 and would pay $$$ just for a cabinet to put it in.

That is just good enough looking to be a routine and successful cabinet restoration.
The grill cloth looks original too.
Please post or make video of that when you can.
The veneer work is tricky but it looks like you have been spared it could be much worse.
