thank you for the help and welcome.
RCA 14BT2! YES< that was the first radio I ever restored back in high school,Actually got my picture took and a half page about me and that radio in the high school annual! Sits in the living room now. I was told by the old man i bought it from it was 1936, but as life and time have passed i do believe it is a year or 2 newer.I was about 15-6 when I bought it for 30 dollars.
sorry to get off brand with my post but wow, another 14BT2 ,couldn't help it
