The wood cabinet is in beautiful condition with hardly any signs of wear and does not need to be refinished. The knobs are original and everything else seems to be as well. I plugged it in and it works, all the knobs seem to work. The tuning knob only went half way across the dial, i’m not a radio expert, so i didn’t want to force it or mess with it. I took the back off and the inside is very dusty and needs to be cleaned. In my opinion, it is in overall excellent condition, the bottom backing of the radio was bent in half decades ago and was repaired with old tape. It is secure and stays in place just fine with screws. This awesome radio will make a fine addition to any collection! Most of my clothing items are vintage and unique and have been previously worn unless specified in the description. I do my best to describe the condition of the item, i might miss a loose thread or two, but will always note any noticeable damage or flaws.
