Vintage 1924 RCA Radiola Super-Heterodyne Tube Radio AR 812 Second Harmonic. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Comes with a multi-voltage power supply to replicate the large assortment of large dry cells that used to go into the end cabinets, an extra UV-199 tube, and set of appropriately vintage looking headphones. I melted the bee's wax in the tin can and took this all apart with the help of a professional electronics tech. I replaced the capacitors and ...resoldered the sketchy-looking connections. It checked out on a scope and I swear I heard three words of audio but I was never able to tune it in again. Maybe it needs a better antenna and ground or maybe I just don't know how to tune it with the two dials. The handle is a replacement that I bought new 25 years ago.
