What is this?
 
Looks like Dumont's little brother or something, with that little radio on the side.

Nuts! Another one that's too far away :(

It's an Andrea. I think Eric H restored one recently.

Don't hear that name too often.

It's an Andrea, I have the tabletop version, someone on the Antique Radios forum restored a console like that recently.

Interesting sets, similar to Dumont's in some ways (CRT and tuner) but a different chassis.

That's a steal at $75.

In the 50+ years I worked on TV's, I never worked on, or seen an Andrea, Fada or a Kay-Halbert. I guess no one ever moved to Milwaukee, from those regions where the sets were common.

Yah, the chassis looks DuMont-ish at first glance, with the battleship-sized power transformer and I assume a continuous tuner. There are significant differences from the RA-103 of that year, tho'.

The front looks a little awkward to me, with the CRT bezel and big tuning dial smack-dab against each other. Might look better if they had used a dark surround for the CRT.
