Beautiful Vintage 1951 RCA Victor Tube Radio Model X551 Art Deco Style Brown Bakelite. Condition is as pictured. Has some cosmetic flaws.

See title and pics for description. Tested and it works great. Has a small dent on the mesh grille as well as a spot. Has a small crack on the side (pictured) and a hairline crack on the top and a small chip (pictured). This is a very beautiful vintage radio.

This came in from a collector’s estate, he collected for the look, he did not care if they worked. This is a beauty. Has a brittle bad cord, so NO testing done. The cabinet has no cracks, no chips. Very nice, with original label. Deep throat label on back and the nice bottom label with signature.. If you got this repaired, wow would it be a nice showpiece. I do not over talk my items. But this is nice. With original big front knob. Cord good, original feet, needs fixed? Or at least a cord. Few tiny dings around the front knob. Final sale as found.
