This is a beautiful little radio. I cannot find much information on the name Raola. There is a metal tag on the back that says Radio corporation of America, General electric company, Westinghouse electric and mfg company. The speaker says Rola. It is 11 inches wide and 15 inches tall. I cant get any shortwave and not sure if the band Knob works. It doesn’t seem to make any difference when I turn it. It says police and shortwave in the dial window but I have heard that a lot of times they use the same dial for all even if they dont have SW. Excellent condition and plays well with no hum. I bought a collection of radios, radio parts and testing equipment from the widow of a long time collector. Most of his radios and testers worked. Some I do not know how to test and I will tell you so in my listings. Please see my other auctions and follow me as i sell this collection.
