Believe this to be the 252 Temple version via the tube chassis used. Nice cleaned and lightly polished (Not sanded), this is the rare Onyx/Butterscotch version. New dial glass, replacement catalin knobs are the original gumdrop knobs for this radio (NOT REPRODUCTIONS).. Has triangular crack as shown in photos around right rear chassis boltnot seen in normal display and not on outside of area clearly shown. Reinforced and not in main body only that corner. One miniscule hairline front chassis holedoesn’t go through to outside. No other damage noted. Radio was playing but tuning string slipped off so will have to be reinstalled. Most collectors don’t play anyway because of potential heat damage to cabinet. A very nice example of a rare radio in this combination. Described to best of my ability.
