It doesn’t work anymore, but it still looks really cool. The finish has some streaks and spots and what looks like some old paint flecks. This was in my grandfather’s workshop for a long time so I’m guessing that’s where it got most of its character. The cardboard backer is intact but the edges are frayed. This is a really cool vintage piece. The item “Philco 49-501 Boomerang AM Radio. 1950s Vintage” is in sale since Saturday, December 26, 2015.
