About four or five years ago I aquired this radio from a friend of a friend after a failed attempt at getting a big Zenith console. Today I dragged it out after a year of sitting and got it going again and man, it still can kick a Zenith's butt! A rather nice radio that can shake a room on the right channel and with the controlls set up right! Also all the tubes but the eye tube in this thing are metal, which might be bad if you like the glow of tubes. I forgot how much I loved this set and it really shows RCA at thier best. Great tone and you can even get those electric highs from the 80's pop songs with the tone switch flipped clear over to Full Fidelity.
Anyways, now that I am done gushing, it does have one minor issue that it has had for years. The eye tube lights, but doesn't react. Is there a resistor in the eye tube socket that needs replaced or could it be something else?

No matter where you go, there you are.
