The Victor R-32 family of radios have always been some of my favorites. I believe they are sleepers. Made by Victor at the time they were purchased by RCA in 1929, the radios were very selective and sensitive with the Micro-Synchronous tuning arrangement. The slide rule dial was new and much better in comparison to the tiny dial windows most other manufacturers were offering. That dial allowed these sets to look more modern in following years than contemporary sets with the small dial windows. I'm fortunate to have the entire '29 family of these sets in my collection. Basic restoration as has been described here will get your set going again. Looks like repro dial scales are also available to replace the damaged one your set has. Good luck, you'll have a nice playing set when it's all done!
