Here are 2 more flea market finds from today. Price was right so of course I couldn't resist! One little Emerson and one big RCA. The RCA is an 8-RF-13 with "Magic Eye" tuning. Now for some rearranging to make space.

No mistaken, it is a HUGE radio (28-1/2" wide x 19" tall). It is designed to rest on a special stand. Chassis is not that big but there are 3 speakers, the outer 2 being angled towards the corners. This is a 13 tube unit with supposedly very good sound.
