This is an RCA 5T tombstone radio, which dates from 1935. A gift from the Old Man. He said when he got it, the cabinet was painted pink, so it was probably a little girl's radio. He stripped the paint and refinished it, but there are remnants of pink on the inside. The RCA Victor decal is missing. I may try to put it back on some time.

One of the nifty things about this is that that it has two bands (broadcast and shortwave up to 6 MHz), and there are two little red lamps; one or the other lights up depending on which band you're on.

Tube Compliment

6A7 - Converter
6D6 - IF
75 - 2nd Detector / AVC
42 - Audio out
80 - Rectifier

Dial lamps: #46 (three)

Current status: I think it needs a filter capacitor (will have to check again).
