I PULLED A LITTLE ON THE BACK I WAS AFRAID TO PULL ON IT TO HARD. THERE ARE 4 ZENITH MARKED TUBES. THE SCREWS ARE MISSING OUT OF THE BACK CORNERS AS SHOWN. DID NOT TEST ALARM. ALMOST GOT A RADIO STATION IN AT ONE POINT BUT MOSTLY STATIC. THERE IS A LARGE CHIP OUT OF FRONT CORNER. NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING.
Picked this up from an estate liquidation. Turns on and works. I only tested the FM stations. See video for sound. No idea when the tubes were put in or how much shelf life they have left. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
