It was part of an ENORMOUS radio collection. The AC power cord is old & brittle so I did not attempt to power the radio on. The walnut wood cabinet is nice and solid and the original finish looks beautiful. There are some minor imperfections like you might expect on a piece from this era. The tuning dial seems to be working as it should. I believe that this is 100% original. As you can see from the pictures, the chassis looks clean but the radio has been in storage for many years so I’m sure that it could use a good/thorough cleaning. I do not have the proper equipment to test this piece any further. Please be sure to preview all of the pictures so that you can determine the condition for yourself.
