The radio does power on, and gets static, but no channels. A wonderful candidate for a full restore! The case has knicks and such, as you can see. This is highly collectible and representative of the Golden Age of radio! Light Mahogany Molded Plywood Case by Charles & Ray Eames for Zenith, 1946. Thanks so much for considering this awesome vintage piece of radio history! Be sure to check out our other vintage electronics for sale!
