Help ID RCA Console Radio

Does anyone know the model number of the RCA radio / phono console in this RCA TT-5 ad from 1939 or 1940?
I am assuming it has a phono unit in it.
Thanks.

I don't know the number, but it should be an easy search on the Net. Yes, that model has the radio/phono under the lid. I've seen those for sale in the past, but definitely pretty rare. I remember discussing that photo on ARF a long time ago. It actually would be a very poor choice for the TT-5 to sit upon. You'd have to move the TV off to use the console radio! The best choice would be the impressive K130 radio/phono with the wide top and small double doors in front. Very fitting for a lucky owner of a TT-5! Not a common one to find either.

Thanks. I have tried a variety of Google image searches on RCA 1939 console radio, RCA deco console radio, and so on and haven't found it.
I used to have the Mark Stein Console Radio price guide but passed it on to another collector several years ago.
I will keep trying.

Okay - I got it - It's a 1939 U129, 10-tubes, 3-bands, phono.

You're welcome. I spent 40 years researching these old radios and TV's. At least I'm putting it to use! LOL
