It is, Steve.

I do like RCA style of the time; I still have not become a dedicated RCA collector, but I do appreciate them nonetheless. And one of my bucket list radios is RCA140, which I recently happened to acquire, and one of my near projects will be that very radio.

As for R-73, on John Huffnagle table there was a R-73. Let's just say that the price was about 7x vs what I paid for mine (OK, well, mine was practically a gift forced upon me by Kirk, so it's not fair to compare the prices). Then again, John's was restored. Icon_smile

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
