The RCA Victor Radiolette R-5 is an uncommon early-1930s tube radio produced during the formative years of home radio broadcasting, when compact “Radiolette” sets were marketed as affordable alternatives to full-size consoles. Manufactured by RCA Victor, one of the most influential names in American radio history, the R-5 represents an early transitional design bridging simple table radios and the more ornate cathedral models that followed shortly after. This example features a solid wood cabinet with distinctive vertical grille detailing, an arched dial window, and original analog tuning scale. The rear shows period-correct construction and wiring, with original tube layout present. Radios from this era were built to house vacuum tubes and operate on household current, though due to age, internal components typically require restoration before safe operation. Surviving examples with intact cabinetry and original RCA branding are increasingly difficult to source, particularly models produced in smaller numbers such as the Radiolette line. The Radiolette R-5 is notably scarcer than later RCA cathedral models like the Model 128, which were produced in higher quantities. Its smaller footprint, early design language, and limited surviving examples make it appealing to collectors focused on pre-1936 radios, early RCA production, or vintage radio restoration projects. Even unrestored examples are sought after for display, parts reference, or professional refurbishment.

Super cool radio – I believe the color is “Champagne white” but it looks like a greige to me, neutral tone. Still has a shine to it, dials are in excellent condition and functioning properly, tube radio takes a few seconds to warm up as is custom, tuner feels fine. Cord is fine and functional. Case of the radio is in very good condition; minimal blemishes.

Not sure about the model. Both look the same to me. I think it was repainted because the RCA logo is missing from the front. It works but staticy between stations. The tuner may need cleaning. Not sure the rear cover belongs to this radio.
