If you are looking for a restored old-time tube radio that can be played as often as you like and for as long as you like, please read on. ATTENTION: THIS MODEL, IN THIS SUPER CONDITION IS RARE! This radio set has been restored to it’s original condition and is ready to bring another lifetime’s listening pleasure to it’s proud new owner. You will be satisfied with this radio set because no detail inside OR outside has been overlooked in order to deliver both “dependable performance” and appealing cabinetry. Every effort has been made to offer a practically new radio, performing as it did originally, and to be maintenance free for quite some time. This bakelite cabinet is in excellent condition without any cracks and has been hand rubbed to restore it’s original showroom finish. The brass accent pieces and speaker grille have been polished and over-lacquered to prevent future tarnishing. Although manufactured in 1951, the X-551 sports an art-deco machine age design. There is a small amber light indicator bulb located directly under the top brass metal strip which is lit whenever the radio is playing; measurements are 12.5″ X 6″ X 8high. A thorough clean job; very rare. Check out all the photos. The electronics inside the chassis have been totally overhauled. That includes: power cord, power supply completely replaced while replacing all the old wax capacitors and the two metal tuning cans on top of the chassis. This radio uses 5 tubes. All 5 tubes are “New Old Stock” and the indicator bulb is new and rated at 3,000 hours. Following the restoration, all radio circuits were re-tuned to their specification using instrumentation. The end result is an old fashioned tube radio giving excellent reception across the dial, playing with warmth and depth. Thoroughly bench tested, this vintage RCA radio set is ready for it’s new home. I will double box using new cartons so that your new radio arrives undamaged in transit. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “gotham*radio” and is located in this country: US.
