THIS RCA RADIO IS HOUSED IN A RARE CABINET THAT IS AS IMPRESSIVE AS THEY COME WITH A UNIQUE ORIENTAL SCENE. NO 2 OF THESE RADIOS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME , AND RAISED WOOD PATTERNS THAT ARE UNMATCHED WITH BRIGHT GRAPHICS. THE RADIO WAS TESTED AND PLAYS AS IT SHOULD. THERE ARE A COUPLE CRACKS THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED (SEE PICS) AND CHIPPED BACK CORNER (SEE PICS).
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.
