That's the "Club 20" which indeed has a lot in common with the RA-101 in terms of components, but was in fact a totally separate model with a cabinet supplied by Dumont. Intended for use in bars, etc.

More info here: http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/dumont_...20_ra_106.html

This model is actually closer to the "Manchu" RA-105 than the RA-101, but still there is a lot in common, including the 20BP4 picture tube.

The Radiomuseum model page documents the survival of at least one of these in the possession of one Steven Quay. Anybody know him? I'm not aware of any other survivors of this model.

The cabinet style in the eBay ad is a little different than the set shown at Radiomuseum. One seems to have legs and a bottom speaker grille, the other doesn't.
