...Its a 6 tube portable that has bakelite end pieces & aluminum body. Vaguely resembles yr dad's lunchpail. Cord is rotten, will need replacing, & I'm sure the caps are toast, too.. Turns on by opening this little cover that hides the dial & volume knob. Interesting little set, the Antique Store I got it from has an early-60s RCA roundie w/a bad cataract that is "Not for Sale". But the store is closing for good in Feb., I told the guy who ran it NOT to let 'em toss the roundie. I told him what the problem was w/it, then said, "OTOH, tell the guy who owns it that its absolutely NO DAMN GOOD at all, I'd like to make a Fish Tank outta it..." He grinned & winked at me...Hehehehehehe...
