I have an RCA Victor model 121 cathedral tube radio (1933) in exceptionally fine original condition. I purchased this RCA in late 2008 at the Radio from Lew Magrish, a well-respected seller on the Attic for some time. According to Mr. Magrish, all filters and caps were replaced and all electronics were tested for factory correct values and the tuner was aligned for an accurate tuning scale. The power cord was replaced with a fine accurate period reproduction while the plug itself is the original. If you go to the Radio and find the radios for sale by Lew Magrish you can scroll to the bottom of that page and see the radios he has sold during the last 12 months. If you look closely at the pictures you will see this RCA 121. The radio is fully functional and I have had no problems picking up local stations using just a simple length of wire as an antenna. Cosmetically, the radio is completely original and unrestored and is the finest model 121 I have ever come across. I believe the veneer on the top and the sides to be American walnut. I am not sure of the wood used on the face but it is bookmatched and in immaculate condition as is the entire cabinet. The radio is 17 inches high by 14 inches wide. It has a broadcast band of Kc and a shortwave band of 5400-15350 Kc. The 6 tubes used are Types 58 (RF amplifier), 2A7 (oscillator and 1st detector), 58 (IF amp), 2B7 (detector/1st AF), 2A5 (audio), and 80 (rectifier). The radio has 4 controls from left to right: power/volume, tone, tuning (with a fine tuning feature to assist in tuning the short wave band) and a small knob on the right that pulls out to receive short wave reception. I have decided to downsize my vintage tube radio collection and hate to let this one go. I have shipped many radios over the years so rest assured it will be packed properly for safe shipping. Thanks for looking!
