Nice example of a non-restored, original american radio. The catalin is free of cracks or structural damage. The hand dials are in tact and turn well. The red grill and dials are bright and in tact. Graphic behind bezel is clear and undamaged. No parts appear to be missing (aside from cardboard piece which covered back components). Power cable in tact. Only flaws I can notice. One of the dials rubs a little halfway through rotation (but turns fully, no problem). The clear plastic bezel is a loose, a little cloudy/dirty, and has a small scratch and dent in the lower portion would be replaced in a restoration, but otherwise doesn’t really detract from the good looks of the unit. The power cable is in tact, but I don’t know if the radio powers up. If it doesn’t power, its likely a very easy fix. The components in the rear have some bare wire showing, and the particle board is loose and has a small crack. 4 The top handle is securely in tact, but the springs that secure it have more give then they are likely intended the handle lifts away from the unit before spring is taught, but can still hold the weight of the unit no problem. As typical to its age and design, the white catalin is now oxidized and appears a sunburst orange and yellow. Small scratch/scuff on the upper right and upper left of radio face. Red handle has some spots where the paint appears matte. Perhaps due to a cleaning solution. I have listed all defects I see.
