I am having great difficulty finding any credible information so far. A fairly extensive net search has turned up basically nothing other than one individual believes the radio to be a six tube set manufactured between 1945 and 1955. I can find no photographs, mention in any list of RCA radios, or schematics so I'm either on to a rare radio or some part of the information I have [like the model number for instance(!)] is just not correct. The radio is in Canada so, yes, it is possible that it was manufactured at the RCA factory in Montreal but this doesn't help me much (or does it?).

Your comment on a reasonable purchase price for a working set in fair physical condition would also be welcome.

Thanks !!!

Looks like you are not alone in finding information on this set. I used copernic and only came up with this.

Hi Paul,
The grille or front of your radio caught my eye as 50's type plastic. I believe your radio may have the CD indications for Civil Defense. Nevertheless I went to Radio Attic and found Model 4X641. This is very similiar to your x624 x-624. So does your RCA have a chassis number or do the tubes include a 35W4? The absence of data on radios does not necessarily make them rare. Most of the time it's the opposite. Value of RCA x624 radio in my opinion is around $20.00 at best.
