On eBay right now: a 1939 (no typo) RCA electric piano, the ‘Storytone.’ Seems similar to a Yamaha CP70 in principle. But my lord would you look at this thing!
See this link for about a million photographs and alllll the details. The Storytone has been fully restored; the price is a not-unreasonable $19k. Or best offer. BTW, the same seller has a ton of really incredible, really incredible, keys and chromatic perc instruments for sale. Just when you think you’ve seen it all…

I’m a long time reader of this blog but have never commented before but just have to now. That thing is absolutely gorgeous, but the lack of gut shots makes me a sad panda.
check out the link, there’s some images of the speakers and some other bits.
The speaker looks 50s, not 30s.
The power supply and the amp appear to be separate. It looks like 4 2A3 tubes in that amp.
