Known as “The Lindsay”, the black plastic (not Bakelite or painted) cabinet is in excellent condition, with no damage at all. And with with eight tubes and dual speakers, it sounds really great too. It has excellent reception, sensitivity and selectivity on both bands. T ake note of the CD. Station locations (triangles) on the dial at 640 and 1280 from those days when nuclear attack was a big fear. As with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet was completely disassembled, cleaned, then buffed to a wondrously smooth and lustrous finish. There is one area on the top where there is a mild haziness to the finish and a minor surface scratch. They does not detract from the overall beauty of the radio. The dial face graphics are crisp, clear and easily viewed. The brass dial was polished. The original knobs were polished. The back cover is in excellent condition and still has the service label from a long gone service center. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The trouble prone selenium rectifier was replaced with a diode. For many more years if well cared for. For those who prefer listening to FM stations with an MCM radio and playing their own tunes through it, this is the perfect radio. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.
