What model is this?
#1

Don't know how many tubes it has, I just like the Deco styling and the condition.  Common or not so common?

28L or 32L, or 38L. The year of 1935.

Not exactly rare, not too common either.,

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.

Nope, the knobs are too close together to be a 28 or 38.

It could be a 32L...

...but, most likely, it is an 89L from the 1935 season.

A model 32 is a modified 89 chassis with a separate power supply, designed to operate on 32 volts DC. If it is a 32, the power supply will probably be mounted on a separate shelf inside.

Thanks guys. For an original finish radio, I'm hoping it would come back a little bit with a bit of work with Gojo and a little polish.....I prefer original finish radios whenever possible, but I do have several refinished sets in my collection.

Hoping that the speaker cloth is original as it seems to be in real nice condition.
