Can anyone help Christopher identify this radio?
He is also looking for some restoration help.

Phil, 
Good AM!  I found the Club website online and I was hoping you could point
me in the right direction.  I live in the South Jersey area and just
inherited an antique radio from my grandparents.  I am interested in
restoring it to working order and hoped you might know a few contacts in
South Jersey who might be interested in the work.  I don't know much about
the unit, but here is what I do know:
• It probably dates back to the late 20's early 30s
• It is a nice quality wood cabinet standing around 4 feet from the ground
with an open back
• There is no brand tag, however, there is a metal tag on the back that is
in scripted "R.P.C. Chicago" "Serial #A170113"
• Carved in the wood cabinet is RPC and the # 935

Any direction you can point me in would be most appreciated!  Thanks so
much, 
Christopher Torchia
