This is a 6 tube, 3 gang tuner radio that allows it to receive stations very well with good clear sound and volume without the need for an external antenna. In back is a phono inlet and switch to plug in a phonograph turntable or other device. The case is brown with a dial that lights up when the radio is on. The case has no cracks, chips or bad odors. I have thoroughly washed and buffed the case and it looks remarkable for a 69 year old. The knobs match and are original. The original hardboard back is still in great condition and the bottom label shows the location of the tubes. The inside chassis has been thoroughly cleaned; the volume control de-oxidized for smooth volume changes and all moving controls lubricated. I have replaced all old electrolytic and wax capacitors in the chassis with new modern capacitors and have checked all resistors. Brittle or bare wiring has been replaced or re-insulated. All 6 easily found tubes have been tested and questionable tubes have been replaced. The line cord has been replaced with a new 18 gauge cord with molded, polarized plug. The speaker is in great condition. The radio has been successfully bench tested for days and should continue to play loud and clear for many more years. The radio size is approximately 8½ high by 12½ wide by 7½ deep and weighs about 7½ pounds. For model 9X641 Ch= RC-1080, RCA RCA Victor Co. United States of America (USA). RCA RCA Victor Co.
