Hi-

I have had this radio for years and am just now trying to learn a little more about it....wondering if y'all can help. As the subject line says it's a RCA T6 Superheterdyne. It works! I cannot find a year on it. It's a brown wood table top radio.

I've tried to include two photos, but keep getting error messages...I'll figure out how to do that and post them.

Can anyone tell me the year? Value? Anything else you might know.

Thanks,
Rene

Does it look something like this? http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/rca_t6_1_1.html .

If so, all the information is there, as far as value, here's a recent listing that ended on eBay,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1936-RCA-Victor ... 603wt_1099 .

But of course take into consideration shipping is expensive, so tack on that charge to the final price.

I'm new here, but one thing I can guarantee you, don't plug the radio in anymore, even if it "works" because it may not work for long. A radio with original parts becomes a fire and safety hazard. You could also fry some irreplaceable parts. It'll need new filter capacitors at the very least. Also I never know when it's safe or not, but just be careful about touching the metal chassis (box inside containing the guts). It could be electrified, better safe than sorry, although, like I mentioned, please don't plug it in again until it has been checked out.

Anyway, wait for the more experienced guys to chime in, they know everything you'll ever need to know and then some. Restoring them isn't TOO difficult, you can do anything with time and patience. It's a rewarding hobby.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Hi Radiopicker-

Whew, glad you warned me about the dangers and told me not to plug it in....it's been unplugged for a while. Instead of attaching photos, I put the two up on photobucket...they can be seen here http://photobucket.com/reneneb.

I'm going to check out the links you sent.

Thanks for the info-
Rene

Hmm -- That's a different radio than what I sent you. I'm sorry. Are you positive it reads T6? Any other information on it? How many tubes do you count?

EDIT: Figured it out, it's a 6T not T6. Here's a link with the correct info: http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/rca_6t.html .

That's a BEAUTIFUL radio. It looks to be in very nice condition for being 76 years old. Thank you for sharing!

That is it, exactly! Very cool - thanks so much!
