RCA X551 (1951)
(Bakelite tube table radio)

RCA X551 (1951)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Two things; this beautiful brown Bakelite RCA reminds me of my oldest sister's prom night (she was Prom Queen) and, the sci-fi movie "Man from Planet X" -- both 1951 landmarks in my life. I don't get the connection, either. Electronically reconditioned, tuned, aligned and playing nicely! Tubes are strong and the back is in great shape with a minor mend. The tube layout is on the bottom. Yep, a Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty "carnation in the lapel!" If you'd like additional pictures please let me know.
