The platter spins nicely. It does not have the play or recording stylus, no needle which is available on web. I could not get the radio to turn on. See the video for more details. The outer cover is in good shape and the handle is superb. Measures 18″ wide X 6′ High and 13″ deep. The Wilcox-Gay brand adds historical significance, making it a valuable piece for collectors of vintage radios and audio equipment.
