Help With the King's Radio UPDATED HISTORY
#11

Greetings,
What the king had there was a Victor Hyperion (Victor model Fifteen-One).  !926 to 1928 which listed for $900.)) US.  The radio was an RCA Radiola 28.  This was Victor's first all electric Orthophonic Radio - Record player combination.  It is described on page 222 of Robert Baumbach's book - Look for the Dog (first edition).
There should be a plate within the record compartment (to the rear of the compartment on  or adjacent to the motor board) with the Victor model name and number.
It was impressive at 57.25" High, 47" Wide and 19.5" deep.
The cabinet styling was Italian in nature, using walnut and maple.
