This RCA Victor radio, model 87T, from the late 1930′s is in beautiful working condition. The chassis has been electronically restored and it is working very well with excellent sound quality and crisp, room filling sound. The bright green tuning eye works exactly like it should, opening and closing as stations are being fine tuned. A rarity on this radio is the properly working and non damaged band indicator flag located on the bottom of the dial. The flag displays the band that you are listening to – broadcast, medium, or short. These are usually found non working due to a broken mounting bracket. The reason why so many have become broken is due to over tightening the set screw that locks the bracket to the tuning shaft. When this happens the cast aluminum bracket breaks apart rendering the band indicator flag useless. If you have patience you can still hear some transmission on both the medium and short wave bands, especially late at night. Speaking of late at night check out that gorgeous lit up dial, with it’s green tuning eye front and center, it’s almost like the fourth of July right there in your living room! The cabinet is solid and it is in great condition. The top of the cabinet has been beautifully refinished. I believe the finish on the front and sides of the cabinet is original. The cabinet does have a few nicks and blemishes here and there but nothing too distracting. The only flaw to the cabinet that needs to be mentioned is the repaired lower grill bar. The repair was done very well and it is not very noticeable, but the repair is there. The is also a small dent on the top of the plastic {tenite} dial bezel. The bezel is solid and it has no cracks. This 87T is a very desirable and rare radio that is always in demand by collectors, so don’t miss your chance, nice ones don’t come up for sale often! .
