The radio powers on when plugged in and turned on and it plays nicely! I was able to tune in several stations here in central Indiana. It was not hooked up to an external antenna. He wood cabinet is nice and solid and the finish looks really nice. There are some minor imperfections like you might expect on a piece from this era. The backlit dial looks great and works as it should as well. All of the various dials and switches seem to be working as they should be. As you can see from the pictures, the chassis looks pretty clean but the radio has been in storage for many years so I’m sure that it could use a good/thorough cleaning. Please be sure to preview all of the pictures so that you can determine the condition for yourself.
