In very good condition but I have no way to test it. The product is a vintage German tube world band shortwave radio by Philips, specifically the model BD263U. With its origins in Germany and production post-1950′s, this piece offers a glimpse into the history and craftsmanship of radios from that time period. Perfect for collectors or those looking to add a piece of nostalgic radio memorabilia to their collection.
