This is a vintage item, approx 70 years old, so please understand it will not work perfectly and may need maintenance or repair. Not all channels had reception (just static) which in my experience is normal for vintage radios. The backing on the radio is loose, the top fasteners were removed. I took photos the best I could have the inside through the small space provided. It has some wear as seen in photos. Overall, I believe this is a very nice radio and vintage piece. But that is my opinion, please examine the video and photos to form your own opinion.
Old and original guaranteed. Shows wear and use as shown, not tested. The cord needs to be replaced. I do not see any other obvious damage. Barn fresh not cleaned.
