The previous owner stated that it powered on before it was removed from the car many years ago, as was his reason for pulling it. He had plans on restoring a 1955 Fairlane, but sadly, health issues interfered. The front glass piece looks good, and station selection dial and power knob turn in nice condition as they should. Power knob clicks as it turned. Push buttons go in and springs back well. It has since worked better. Perhaps a little stiff in its old age. Missing the bottom plate cover. Overall, it appears in nice condition. Unfortunately, I have no way to test. Listed as parts for that reason.
