This is circa 1930s RCA Model T5-2 AC Powered Standard AM Broadcast with SW also. The original finish looks good for a radio this old, about 71 years. T is the usual wear with a few light scratches and a couple small nicks., but overall, the unit is solid and tight with no missing veneer. Has original wooden knobs and grille cloth in good condition. It does play good. Best to have it hooked to a long wire external aerial wire, but I did get a couple stations with low volume with no antenna at all. SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS UNLESS I HAVE GROSSLY MISREPRESENTED THE ITEM. The case measures: 13" Wide, 15"High, and 8"Deep. Chassis is clean and complete. Capacitors replaced and even a new repro cloth covered line cord and bakelite plug, very much like the original. As expected, this is a heavy radio, and it will be double boxed for safe and sound delivery. Check my feedback please, I am proud to be able to say, that in the 8 years I have been on Ebay, and sold about 3 hundred radios, non have arrived damaged and I have well over 1000 positive feedbacks. On this radio due to the weight and size of the boxing and packing needed, no bidders outside the USA, except Canada. If bidders other than these two countrys bid, I reserve the right to cancel your bid. I have a much smaller wood table radio, and its unique in good shape, from the late 19 read more
