This metal-cabinet version was originally developed as a troop entertainment radio at the end of WWII, and the earliest examples – like this one – have the steel carry handle that Detrola later dropped. TESTED & WORKING: Powers on, warms up, and plays. Holds stations solidly and sounds good through the original speaker – clear audio, no dropouts during testing. Dial lights up and the tuning mechanism moves smoothly across both bands. One of the two dial lamps is out; the remaining bulb still illuminates the dial well (an easy, inexpensive replacement if you want both lit). No dents or damage to the cabinet.
