Steve,
The second sale of this set does not show in the completed listings. ???
However, the first (?) sale still does, and back on April 15th it went for $900!
See auction 161271541617
This set in not in the vintage I'm into, but I don't remember ever seeing an RCA metal cabinet with orange peel. (A paint defect usually caused by an improper paint-to-thinner mixture, improper paint-to-air mixture or too much paint being applied.)
On the last two photos in the vertical photos, if you click they will enlarge, then click again and they blow up to a huge size.
Both orange peel, and gold flake paint are evident in these photos.
The age marks on the paint look questionable. They just don't look quite right to me, but I cannot say why. In short, I've never seen an RCA metal cabinet with a non-professional paint job, but with that said, I've never had a reason to look that closely. I'd demand a careful paint inspection before purchasing that set.
Jas.
