There's not a single crack anywhere in the cabinet. The knobs are original matching brown bakelite securely attached. The gold grill fabric is in great condition. This radio is over 60 years old! Dial numbering and lettering is slightly faded and faint in places. The dial is clear plastic plate in pristine condition. No missing numbering, dots or dashes, or anything. No smudges or yellowing. The tuning and volume dials work fine. The unit powers on and off with a definite click. All out of spec capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time! The tubes are working fine. All out-of-spec resistors have been replaced with modern correct value and voltage equivalents. The replacement power cord and plug are brand new replacement with no cracks, or splits or electrical tape repair. No exposed wiring. The radio has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected.

When this radio was new, Harry S Truman was president! This thing belongs in a museum!
