i have an old beat up unit but boy does it sound great. The grill on it is ruined and im looking for another if anyone has a parts unit laying around. This one isnt pretty but a grill would be nice. I love that old tube radio sound!

Thats circa 1950....the RCA were very nice sounding. yours has 2 RF stages and a fairly large speaker. If you want a really fantastic sounding RCA tabletop, find a model 9-RF-6 from the mid 50s...it is a transformer chassis, not AC/DC, it is a 9 tube model with an 8 inch speaker in a wooden cabinet. The result is a big warm sound which can't be beat !

Do you mean 6-RF-9?

scale, can you post a pic of your radio? I know what I have but more by appearance than model number.

There's a nice pic here:

I have one as well, but the case has a few scratches and cracks...as does the gold grille. Still has it's "Golden Throat" certification, though!
