Anybody know how rare or common these are?

One of these ? http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/rca_240_1.html

I picked up an RCA 222 earlier in the year and have been looking all over for another to compare it to with no luck. I've seen a couple RCA 221s for sale recently for about $100 each.

The 240 is a higher end model (more tubes) than the 221 or 222 so I imagine less common and more valuable.

I have the model 240 console but I’ve seen more of the 140 tombstone than the console version. The tombstones usually bring big bucks. I have a friend who is working on obtaining every tombstone version that used this chassis. So far he has three of them- a GE K80 and two RCA versions- 140 and AR-1. I’ve restored every one of them for him along with a couple others over the years including my 240 console. The chassis within a chassis design is a real "treat".

Bandersen, I’ve got an RCA 222 console. Do you need photos?

This one I'm looking at is a lowboy. Was interested in how many were made. Could'nt find much on the net.
