LOGO: No missing logos. Zenith raised painted lettering on tuning back is in excellent condition with very little rub off. The Zenith center crown logo is in excellent condition.

DIAL LIGHT: Tiny red power indicator light works. No tuning light illuminating the tuning cavity from within, not originally designed with one, but looks very nice when added for extra charge.
