DESCRIPTION: Tabletop tube AM antique radio manufactured by RCA Victor in excellent+ working and physical condition. This vintage radio has a late 50s design look with its slatted grill and clear trapezoidal bubble clock window. Neat side actuated levers for clock and radio functions seen only on RCAs during the latter few years of the 50s. Original factory molded colors not painted. No touch up no over spray. None needed. Picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without need of external antenna attachment. Cabinet is in excellent condition. No cracks or major scratches. There are small chips on the bottom front right and left corners. All clock components work including the alarm. This retro radio is over 60 years old! Grill is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. No rust, warping, or waviness on the clock metal foil display backing. RCA Victor logo with the little Nipper dog is intact and is illuminated from behind when the radio is turned on. Sweet! This clock was not designed with an always on clock light. But one can be added for an extra charge. Raised RCA Victor Filteramic logo on front speaker grill is in pristine condition with no rub off of gold chrome paint. The knobs are in excellent condition. No cracks and no missing gold metal inserts. These almost always are missing over the years. The tuning knob and volume knobs are not cracked either. Amazing. Dial light lights brightly. No missing ink, smudges, or rub-off on tuning dial lettering. The clear clock cover on this radio is securely attached no cracks or scratches no micro inclusions. Mirror glossy and glassy sheen. The tuning dial works fine. The variable rotation shaft has tendency to slip because it is friction based differential so you need to turn with more gusto to get it to move.
