What year is this radio and how rare are they? I would like to restore this myself but do not know where to start nor where to obtain any information?
Anyone out there that can help?
Thanks.

Hi Don

RCA C13-2 was made in 1935...Start with information available here on nostalgiaair:

Replace the line cord if required and filter caps. These things should be done before turning the radio on.

Hello Don,
I also have one of these consoles. I have yet to restore it but look forward to the work. If yours leaves you with any questions concerning finish or component layout I may be able to help. I can send digital photos of my relatively untouched set.
