That uses the same chassis as my first tube radio-an RCA 8k. The only difference is that yours does not have an eye tube. Good sounding radios-I really like that RCA put nice big speakers even in their cheaper models, not that this is a bad performer. I did a lot of DXing with my 8k, and that is still the only radio I have ever been able to receive Australia on (Shortwave). Looks like they slobbed chrome polish all over the cabinet. I'd say buff up the chrome, and retouch, but not refinish the cabinet.

On ARF you said you got this out of the prop room of a theater, correct? What's the story there?
