Victor model R-7-A tombstone.
#1

And the radio that won my money today is... this! Actually does work, but had a very amatuer restoration done to it years ago. This is the Canadian version of the RCA R-7-A using eight tubes with push-pull 47's. Gets quite loud and sounds pretty good. Only issues are that the dial control slips, the speaker wires are patched together, and of course it has the wrong knobs. Also, I think it will get an alignment in the near future as I want to give it a clean bill of health and correct the visible issues before using it much. This thing weighs about as much as my Majestic 20/21 tombstone, though is in much better shape. I would think the performance between the two would be similar.

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
