My Deal of the Day. RCA VICTOR MODEL 124

[mkoser]

Correction! It is a model 128........

While I was at work yesterday, a fellow co-worker called me and said "I found this really neat old radio at GOODWILL for 25 bucks..... do you want it?"

I asked what it looked like and he said "it looks like one of those old Tombstone radios, but I don't know what it is." "It is heavier than heck."

I said, "ok, I guess".

I figured it was one of those reproduction models, but I figured that 25 dollars was an acceptable amount to gamble with.

I went and picked it up today, and to my surprise it was a RCA VICTOR MODEL 128.

The cabinet has some problems, as you can see in the picture. The veneer on the front is chipped, and the inner brace on the top is broken (from lifting it up one handed from the top I presume).

It has one knob that is clearly a replacement.

All in all, it looks pretty good. I can't wait to recap it and see what it does. It will need a speaker, I can see the speaker is trashed. It has the original cord (which is rotted and shot). All the tubes are in place.

I was surprised on the potential value listed in the Collectors Guide to Antique Radios.

Thanks for looking,
