It does have some minor veneer waviness on the top. It has no damage whatsoever. The dial face is in excellent condition with very crisp and clear graphics that are nicely lighted. The dial cover has been replaced and is crystal clear. The brass dial pointer was polished. The original knobs were polished. The original grill cloth behind the wooden grill slats is in excellent condition. The back cover is a new replacement. Felt pads were added to the bottom to protect your furniture. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. He radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal loop antenna. At almost 80 years old, this radio most likely broadcast the news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor 78 years ago today. Now completely restored, it will continue to reliably bring the news of the world for many more years if well cared for. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.
