Rare RCA radio

[William]

This RCA radio is cool, but the price is not.

It's a garden-variety AA5:

I've never seen one like that. The price is probably way high. I remember Anderson when it was a thriving metropolis. There was Delco-Remy and Guide Lamp plus Prime Battery in town. There was a vibrant downtown as well. Russ Regenold Pontiac and Heckaman Buick were two of grandpa's stomping grounds in town. Since GM pulled out, it's a ghost town. You can buy half the town for what they want for that radio.....

I agree totally, Chris. I guess the value is all in the cabinet, but not for this ole' boy.

There are a few RCA units that had conventional chassis in conventional cabinets and are lower priced. The same chassis were put in cabinets such as the one in the ad and now draws high prices. Their model 66X1 was a decent table AM-SW model and can be found at relatively reasonable prices. The same guts in the 66X "tuna boat" catalin cabinet, draws high prices.
