RCA 263 Console
#3

A mighty fine set, and phenomenal performer. The SW bands go to around 40 MC, I believe. I have a few of these RCA sets, and should remember. Get the set re-capped, and aligned, and it's a hot demon. It's a 1935 model set. If you have the orange dial scale, it will be an early manufacture. Around the first of 1935, they changed the dial scale to a dark maroon, with black lettering. You have all you can do to read them.

I'd have to look in the red book, but I don't think that this chassis was used in a phono combination. I have the 381, which is a similar chassis, and a phono combo. They're mighty nice sets. They're right neck and neck with the same year Philcos, that had a similar tube complement.

It looks like someone stripped and refinished this set of yours.....?
