This little 1940 RCA came to me with a cracked cabinet so after restoring the five-tube chassis, I did some custom paintwork on the cabinet. Originally brown Bakelite, it was repainted in a soft yellow then "smoked" to add a visual texture similar to the Catalin radios. Over that I applied a light pearlescent midcoat to give the cabinet a little iridescence. This is all topped by a coat of automotive grade urethane clear. The radio has had all wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced, tubes and resistors checked and alignment peaked. Internal loop antenna for receiving local stations. 10"W x 7"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland.
