I just recently acquired this nice old radio for $25. It's a Knight Kit R-100. This was a "kit" radio made in 1957, according to the date inside the cabinet. The way it worked is you bought the radio as a box of parts and assembled it yourself. Everything was included, and the price was about $100.
This one looked pretty good cosmetically, but didn't work when I got it. After replacing the filter capacitor and some other parts, it now works like new... and it looks cool!
Spent several hours last night listening to CRI (China Radio International) and some other foreign broadcasts.
