Smile RCA 222 scored

I stumbled across a listing for a Radiola 26 on the local craigslist, but the picture looked all wrong. It wasn't far away so I took a quick trip out to take a look.
It turned out to be an RCA 222!








The speaker is missing Also, I'm not sure if the legs have been cut off or the stand was optional. I guess it's either a low, lowboy or a HUGE table top.


Checkout this thread: http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/...45c23c0d6be727

It kinda looks like the radio is sitting on top of that little table/stand

On the positive side, the cabinet is in good shape, all knobs are there and all the tubes are the original RCA/Cunningham Radiotrons. They all test like new including the 2A5




I must confess that I know nothing about this radio. Only that it looks really cool and I'm guessing '34-'36 based on the tubes. I haven't been able to find out much about this model online.

Can anyone fill me in ?

Thanks!
Bob
