This person is currently selling parts from an RCA AR-813 console model on eBay. He only has cabinet parts listed, but wouldn't hurt to ask if he has the radio chassis and would like to sell. Located in Pennsylvania.

So we finally have a working radio in the brunswick. I ended up buying two whole AR-812 units to break apart to fix the ol' girl. Both were in excellent condition and I felt so bad about chopping them up for parts I decided not too lol. What I did instead was trade one of my phonographs to an antique radio repairman for him to fix up one of the AR-812s.

I wanted to have a working one as reference to repair the broken (gone) radio. I then got two more chassis, an AR-812 from the antique radio forum and an AR-813 from a Brunswick on ebay. With all these parts my dad and I were able to create a working unit. It is however not working with the speaker/driver bc I have no idea how that even works or what it's supposed to look like, so we are playing the radio through an external speaker.
