I’m getting nothing but static but could be three fact that there is no antenna. One channel came in slightly. The clock does work and the knobs all work. The two knobs located in the clock lens are missing and there is a hairline crack along top side. Needs a mid thorough cleaning as i rescued it from a barn.
The tubes are Cunningham cx301-a, tested 39,36,39,42,22 out of 18 being good. The other one is a Cunningham cx371A and it tested 72 and 42 is good. The radio is 22″ L 7″W&7D.
This radio has been serviced and works great. It has some paint touch-ups here and there, but it looks fine. I couldn’t get light to work and might need a new blub.
This listing is for a Jennings Radio model UCSX 1000 unit. This came from a local radio station. We have many more Jennings units if someone is interested just reach out. This unit was working well when taken out of service. It still has some of the brackets attached which we leave attached. Thank you for looking.
The radio was “serviced” a couple of years ago, it turns on and hums but probably needs more maintenance. I couldn’t get a station in, but I did get some static. So it may just be poor connection.
