Last June a fellow brought to me his dad's RCA 5QR73PX that returned from Germany with him. Now it needed a restoration after spending 30+ years in a garage attic. That garage gave that radio a lot of abuse. I later discovered that the RCA is an alias, it's really a Graetz Comedia 4R/216 from Germany. So here are before and after photos.
