RCA X-551 (1951)
(plastic tube table radio)

RCA X-551 (1951)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

I sold one of these back in January but found another nice survivor with a crack-free cabinet in original natural finish featuring a subtle marble swirl and chrome plastic trim. Original back cover is intact and in nice condition. This Golden Throat RCA is a powerhouse, easily pulling in distant stations with its internal loop antenna with plenty of volume. Has a built-in RCA jack in the back of the chassis to plug in your external audio source (in lieu of my standard aux input cord). The chassis has a good, tested set of tubes, it has been recapped, all out of tolerance resistors changed, and the controls cleaned/lubricated, so it plays loud and strong. 12-1/2"W x 8-1/2"H x 6"D.
