Offered here is a vintage Nordmende / Sterling “Kadett 57 USA” tube radio, a high-quality mid-century European-designed set built for the U. It powers up and functions, but will benefit from routine service expected for vintage tube equipment of this age. Powers up smoothly on a Variac to 110 VAC. Voltage selector allows adjustment to 120 VAC and other voltages (see photos). Radio tunes across bands. Noticeable hum is present and changes with bass and treble controls. This is consistent with aging electrolytic capacitors. No major faults or catastrophic issues detected. ? Condition & Service Disclosure. Electrolytic capacitors likely need replacement for optimal performance. Original power cord is removable. One prong piece is loose/not attached. The loose piece will be bagged and included so it is not lost. Cabinet shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with age. Internal components appear original and unmodified. This is being offered as-found for collectors, restorers, or vintage audio enthusiasts who prefer originality or wish to service it themselves. Brand: Nordmende / Sterling. Model: Kadett 57 USA.
