Congrats on this early radio phono console!
Personally (and this is just my preference and no slight on your purchase) I would like to get one of the Brunswick machines with the radiola just because it’s just so odd to see an RCA product with a non-Victor turntable that’s not a Frankenstein machine. (But that’s just me.)
BTW can you get a battery eliminator for these early battery op Radiolas? I knew they had them for those “farm radios” when the farmers finally got electricity in the home they hook them up with a battery eliminator to use in a wall outlet. And how long did the battery run on the Radiolas until it was stone dead?

Great rescue on your old radio-phonograph. Always a good day when those go into preservation.
