RCA 816K radio value?
#8

I agree Ron,
Makes it hard to invest too much on some of these old radios to restore.
But I still have a few customers that are willing to pay up to $400-$500 for the right radio for their living room.
The best selling with the higher prices are the Zenith black dials made in the later 30's.
Especially the shutterdials.
But I do this hobby for the fun of bringing them back to life again.
Getting harder to do with age creeping up on me.
Vision gets fuzzy and the dexterity isn't what is used to be.
When I start burning myself with a hot iron, then I will retire from repairing and just concentrate on looking at my collection.
Not like I was ever that good at trouble shooting anyway. Thats why I rely on the forum for advice.
When I get the RCA home, I will try to send a picture.
I do have another of these that I restored 7 or 8 years ago.
That one has the remote control that still works too. Would the remote make this one more collectable?
Gotta run, so have a great week Ron!
Hope all is well on your end.
