A huge RCA console model 816 K
#1

This one showed up on face book so I picked it up, for a decent price
 It has 16 tubes with motorized tuning. the Thing is huge and weighs a lot.
 The owner said it belonged to her mother and one day it just quit.
  I hope that no one has been in the chassis.
 The tenite at the top corners has warped, but in an even way so it is not too bad.

     The chassis is missing a small piece that goes into a black rubber holder ,for the set up for the electric tuning.
 I think it is just a metal shaft for adjustment.   { anybody  know????]

 It  won't get worked on for a while as I have cabinets to refinish while the weather is warm.
 It weight about as much as my Rogers 10-12 and it is BIG
