Rare, hard to find Fairbanks-Morse, what I believe to be the Model 8AT8 tabletop tube radio that is in good working condition. I did not test the Police band, as it is hard to find anything on that frequency. Electronically, the radio maintains it’s full 8 tube compliment and is very clean. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator works as well. There is a new dial belt which moves the dial indicator. The power cord is brand new. Grill cloth is in excellent condition, with no rips or holes. The finish on the radio is all original, but unfortunately the veneer is bubbling, lifting and cracking in a number of spots, as well a few tiny veneer chips along the back edge on the left side. There also appears to be a small patch along the upper right rear side of the radio that is well done. Someone who is better at woodworking than me will be able to address the veneer issues. Despite the veneer flaws, the radio is very attractive and very sought after. The radio looks great powered up and is a must have for the discerning collector. Do not miss out on this opportunity to add this iconic radio to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.
