The list of my radio & TV collection!

Fresh acquisition, - RCA 9K radio console, USA 1936.
Despite the severely damaged exterior, the chassis and speaker were in an authentic original condition, and the functional state was at the highest level. It’s even hard to believe that the radio is already 84 years old. And interestingly, this is not the first time I've been seeing such metamorphoses with the amazing durability of American radio technology.
First impressions of the quality of the radio reception ... At short wavelengths, it is beyond praise, on the MW and LW bands - strong interference from household appliances operating in the house, but I did not expect anything else. All the same, this is the first test of performance, without any preparation and not for comparisons with other similar radios.
