This radio came from the Cooper TV & Electronics store in Aledo, IL. It was part of his personal collection. Cooper closed his store 25+ years ago. The radio is in really nice shape given it’s age and use. When I plugged it in and turned it on, the backlit dial lit up but I did not hear any sound/static from the speaker. My guess is that one or some of the tubes have gone bad. The interior/chassis looks nice and clean although I’m sure that it could use a good/thorough cleaning since it had been in storage for years. I believe that the speaker is the original speaker. The wood cabinet is nice and solid and the original finish looks nice. There are the normal scratches, etc. That you would expect on a piece from this era. All of the dials/switches seem to be working & free. The tuner moves freely up and down the dial. I do not have the proper equipment to test this piece any further. Please be sure to preview all of the pictures so that you can determine the condition for yourself.
