So I got the RPC on the bench did some testing, Replaced a few leaky caps and it plays. That's the good news the bad is the power transformer is shorted. NUTZ!!! Looks to have been like that for a while as there is tar on top of the chassis. This set too has the old police band. So I guess I've on the prowl for the small power transformer with a 2.5v filament winding. It will play for about 5 mins till you'll start to smell it cooking. It's a shame it plays good! Added a few more pics of the chassis.
