Retro Arvis Tube Radio

http://www.opamerica.com I am presenting a vintage Arvin table model 540T AM metal tube radio! Knobs are a dark brown plastic (bakelite?). The bottom reads, "Chassis RE-278 117V. AC-DC 30 Watts." I've read this model was made in 1951. The metal radio is pink with dark paint splashes. The radio easily powered up and played. In excellent shape! The bottom screws and the wood back look new so I'm going to assume this radio has been restored. Measures 8 1/4" inches wide, 5 1/4" inches tall, and has a depth of 4" inches.
