It is, Steve.
I do like RCA style of the time; I still have not become a dedicated RCA collector, but I do appreciate them nonetheless. And one of my bucket list radios is RCA140, which I recently happened to acquire, and one of my near projects will be that very radio.
As for R-73, on John Huffnagle table there was a R-73. Let's just say that the price was about 7x vs what I paid for mine (OK, well, mine was practically a gift forced upon me by Kirk, so it's not fair to compare the prices). Then again, John's was restored. 
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
