RCA 28x5 help
#2

That is a fine radio Steve. I have a 28X5 and I love the dial as well the sound of that set, tone control is nice feature, almost a console chassis in that baby.

The 28X5 came from the factory with a 9 inch Ellipticon Speaker. It has an odd shape and is an ellipse though fatter on one end. It has the same red paint though. With my bifocals the speaker in your set seems more oval, maybe a change in production, or a swap by service tech with a similar RCA speaker? Look carefully and see if there is an outline against the grill of what the original may have been.

You will enjoy it.
