RCA 8X-681 (1948)
(Bakelite tube table radio w/SW)

RCA 8X-681 (1948)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here is cool unique mid-century RCA with flair & in mint condition. Large lighted Lucite dial with so much appeal, even when not lit. The roll-top smooth molded Bakelite case has no back, instead access is thru the bottom. All the RCA factory tags are on the metal bottom & as mint as the radio itself. The shiny brass trim really sets it apart from a lot of its brown Bakelite counterparts. The wide 2-inch brass band that goes all around the bottom, the large brass escutcheon & four brass thumbwheel knobs look great! This was professionally & recently restored by a friend of mine & plays beautifully on AM & picks up on SW, but not much on that band now days. No breaks, repairs, nor flaws that I can find. There is also a jack for a record player. Just an extremely nice specimen. 12-1/2"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D.
