DESCRIPTION: About the size of a stack of computer punch cards but in striated stainless steel! Tabletop transistor AM radio manufactured by Bulova in 1966 in excellent working condition. Cabinet is original stainless steel. Very sleek. Very rich looking. The front clear plastic clock face is in excellent condition. No major scratches. No dents. No stains. No tarnish or rust. The right side contrasting grey blue panel is comprised of hi tech look little checkerboard pattern. You can get out your slide rule and measure the length and width of the tiny facets! Doesn't sound half bad either considering the speaker is no bigger than a large book of matches. Knobs are original and securely attached. This radio is over 50 years old! No missing ink, smudges, or rub-off on dial lettering. The tuning dial works fine. The power cable is securely attached. All four of the little metal legs are present and securely attached. All paper and wax capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time! The transistors are working fine. The back is in good condition. All out-of-spec resistors have been replaced with modern correct value and voltage equivalents. There is no loud or pervasive hum. There is no loud or pervasive static between stations. The set has been aligned according to factory specifications. The power cord and plug are good original working condition with no cracks, or splits. No exposed wiring. The radio has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected. All wiring has been thoroughly checked for possible bridging and weak solder connection. Comes from non-smoking, mature, clean professional environment no pets.
