This is not going to be an easy one. I did some searching on the internet and short wood legs are not redily available and this appears to be an odd size to begin with. My guess is that it was a custom specification for RCA for this set.

If I was in your position, I would turn the leg myself or have someone with a lathe turn it for you. As for the brass ferrul on the end. You will probably have to make it yourself. I would start by machining a solid steel tapered form that would conform to the inside dimensions of the existing brass ferrul. Then obtain some brass tubing with an appropriate wall thickness. Clamp your solid steel tapered form in a vise and slip the brass tubing over the end of your steel tapered form and start heating the brass tubing with a propane torch. While the tubing is hot tap the exposed end of the brass tubing which will slowly force the brass to expand as it is forced down over the steel tapered form.

It is very do-able, but you are going to need a machine lathe at the very least to make the tapered steel form. You could also use the machine lathe to turn the wood leg.

Back in the day, tapered wood legs were plentiful because they were used on a lot of furniture. Today everything is plastic and tapered legs are rather out of style.

Like a lot of things in our hobby, you need to be well prepared to improvise and create your own reproduction or replacement parts. And even when parts are not missing, you still need to be able to restore and refurbish the existing parts which are often in poor condition. As I have progressed in this hobby, I have discovered that every set I resotore presents some sort of new challenge. Each new challenge presents an opportunity for me to invent, and design solutions to new problems. I often buy new tools just to solve a new problem. I never would have purchased a spot welder if I hadn't the need to fabricate a back for my 21CT55. I never would have purchased a hot air plastic welder if I hadn't the need to repair a polyethylene shroud for a CTC4.

I recently discovered a local company that has a large flatbed CNC table router large enough to create replica backs for large console tv sets. He has already made me a replica back for a CTC4. It was costly because between programming and router time, I invested $125 just for a CTC4 masonite back. He also has the capability to do digital full color revererse printing on glass or plexiglass and he is in the process of making dial glass items for myself and John Folsom.

The point is that if you can't find a replacement part, and you cant make it yourself, the only option is to hire someone to replicate the part for you. At times this can be very costly.

Good luck and if I can be of any assistance, feel free to PM me.
