Item: Vintage 1952 Blue RCA Victor Model 1-X-55 Tabletop Tube Radio

Seller Notes: Case has staining from improper cleaning from previous owner as well as some scratches /scuffs. Unit is a great candidate with no cracks for a repaint and restoration. The unit was briefly tested and does power up , the dial needle lights up which is a unique feature to this radio. The dial needle move through the whole range and I was able to pick up several station although the sound quality could be louder and clearer.

As this is an antique radio and I don’t have records on service work this Unit is being sold as is pictured for parts or repairs regardless of stated functionality. Please ask all questions/ address any concerns prior to purchasing, no returns!
