I bought a Rca victor r-15 radio and I wanted to know if this radio is rare by any chance thanks.

I can offer to say that current market value always changes.
This radio was made in 1931.
I'll also state that it uses tubes that are extremely expensive to replace.
The globe #45's & the #80 can set you back hundreds to replace.
With that said, unless the chassis has been completely restored, I'd advise not powering this set up in questionable condition.

Yep it's all working condition sounds really nice on the broadcast end I'm surprised because I saw it at a antique shop and plugged it in worked right away. All in all very nice radio and I enjoy the radio and it beauty. I have more radios in my collection that work so I'll be asking about them in the future thanks

Nice.
Keep using it, and when those tubes fry and/or the power tranny overheats and dies, stop back and let us know.
Perhaps we can advise you on how to turn it into a cool looking liquor cabinet.

Lol hahahahahahaahaha very too funny your funny lol

IMHO--probably not funny--sadly, it's too often true--old caps, for sure, ARE, "time bombs", waiting to explode ! Ron Rich
