Another Console
#1

A lady I used to work with called me yesterday and said she had a radio she would like to give me. She said it has tubes in it and was made in the 20s. I thought , made in the 20s, Yeah, right! Theresa and I went to pick it up that evening. Well, it turned out to be an RCA Radiola 50. It doesn't work, but the cabinet is nearly perfect! The finish is original and has very few scratches or dings. Even the dial light has the original hood still attached. The radio has with it, the original owners manual and an original warranty card! My problem now is, what to do with it. We just sold our house and will be living in a small apartment for a while. I think I may have to sell it. Icon_sad
