Title:

Vintage RCA Victor Model 4-Y-511 Bakelite AM Radio & 45 RPM Record Player Combo – Tested & Working!

Overview:

Up for sale/sale is a mid-century American audio classic: the RCA Victor Model 4-Y-511 Radio-Phonograph Combo. Housed in a heavy, rich dark brown molded Bakelite cabinet, this tabletop unit combines a sensitive AM tube radio with a built-in 45 RPM "Victrola" record changer under the hinged top lid.

This unit has been tested and functions very well—both the AM radio tuner and the internal 45 RPM turntable play nicely!

Key Features & Highlights:

Genuine Bakelite Cabinet: Solid, heavy phenolic resin body in handsome dark brown with classic ribbed front grille styling and top lid.

Dual Functionality: Features an AM radio on the front panel alongside an integrated 45 RPM record player under the hood.

Victrola Branding: Features the iconic "His Master's Voice" Nipper dog logo inside the top lid.

Tested & Working: Radio picks up stations cleanly, and the turntable plays 45 RPM records as intended.

Original Knobs & Dial: Includes the original gold-tone RCA Victor central tuning dial and lower control knobs.

Condition Details:

Functionality: Fully operational. Radio receives AM stations with good reception, and the 45 RPM turntable motor and tone arm mechanism function smoothly.

Cosmetics: Overall good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age and gentle use. No major cracks or splits in the Bakelite cabinet structure. Hinges are secure and intact.

Power Cord: Power cord is present and intact.
