This 71 year old blonde radio still has pizzazz! With modern looks for the time, it is a real standout radio that sounds great too. The cabinet was cleaned and polished and looks like new. The dial face and knobs are original. It has a few edge bumps that are normal for its age, but there are no blemishes, dings, cracks or scratches. The radio looks very charming, and the dial face and pointer light brightly to add to the looks in a darkened room. The chassis was cleaned, serviced and completely restored, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced. Tubes and resistors were replaced as needed. All electrical contacts and controls were cleaned and lubricated. It was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception, tracking and sound using the internal loop antenna. A bit bold for post WWII, it is now a reminder of those heady days after the war when the baby boom began. It should play well and look great for another 71 years.
