Not only is that an AC set, it is RCA's first AC set, and one of the first by any manufacturer to market, at least in appreciable numbers. The one pictured in the first post is missing the lamp shade (as frequently happens, is anyone reproducing these today?). The main thing to look out for is pot-metal disease...various bits of the tuning mechanism are pot-metal, which has a tendency to distort, swell and crumble with age. If you can't turn the tuning knob (or if the cord is broken, reach inside and turn the tuning gang), you may want to shy away if this is your first restoration.
