RCA 8-RF-13 ? HiFi Orthophonic

Anyone have one of these - what kind of performance can they deliver ? Have a chance to get one. It must be among the biggest radio's made at 28 x 18 inches. I would imagine it puts out some big sound having a pair of 6V6GT's push-pull output, 3 speakers. Looks to be late 1950's vintage.

Sounds like a 50s mono console. Most of them sounded pretty good, though I have no experience with this particular unit.

The measurements he's giving sound like a very large table radio. My usual source doesn't have a picture though. Can you post one Anden?
