Been listening to this quite a bit lately, a pretty good player and versatile, has tone control, RCA jack for phono, and a SW band. 

Kind of an oddball like the cat in the last frame. Probably one of the last built before War Production took over. Has a style like they were not sure to build it big or small, case is good size with a lot of extra room inside, speaker off to side not dropped in front like a lot of post war sets, an odd duck. 

My only Delco, only cat.

Finish is original. Just a bit of Howards Feed n Wax.

While it has many RCA traits I am not 100 percent sure, it sounds good and while kind of clunky looking has grown on me.
