Estate sale find

[EVBoy]

Found an RCA Radiola 22, Model AR-1265, at an estate sale.
Anyone know anything about it?

I don't know a thing about them but like to see what it is.

Nothing on the Radio Attic's photo archive.

According to my price guide, it's a 1929 model battery operated console listed between $60 and $85. That price is for a radio in good cosmetic condition with no missing parts. All it should need is minimal work to the case to make it look nice. The radio does not have to play; but, should be complete (including tubes) and the chassis should be clean.

That's it. That was a lot of money back then.
It looks complete and even has the battery.
