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.

Reception is just ok. But if you attach an antenna to this radio it’ll be even better! For internal use only.
