The radio was opened up as shown and the bakelite cabinet and knobs were cleaned and polished with Simichrome to a high sheen. I replaced the defective 3 section filter capacitor with modern replacements. I tested the tubes and all are good. I cleaned and oiled the volume control and oiled the tuning capacitor bearings and both operate smoothly. I adjusted the antenna and oscillator trimmers for optimal reception. The radio plays great with good reception all across the dial with plenty of volume. The radio measures 10 1/4″w x 6 1/4″d x 6 1/4h. Please study the photos for condition.
