I have never seen this bright turquoise, Petty Blue, before. It is a lot more vivid than the 'Vivid 57cc turquoise.' This radio is over 50 years old! No missing labels. The knobs are in fair to good condition. The gold metal inserts are tarnished and pitted. The aluminum front fascia has some oxidization and pitting. There is a slight burn mark diagonally across the top. No missing clock knobs. Amazing. The clear dial face has no cracks. Please see the photo close-up. No missing ink, smudges, or rub-off on clock dial lettering. The tuning dial works fine and smooth no slipping. The tuning dial plastic is yellowed and pitted. All paper and wax capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time! The clock works and keep accurate time for a mechanical analog design. The clock is reasonably quiet but not utterly silent. The alarm works. The buzzer works. The clock and alarm set function work. There is a appliance timer function in back. The tubes are working fine. 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 unless you operate near modern megahertz devices. The set has been aligned according to factory specifications. The power cord and plug are good original working condition with no cracks, or splits. The cord is stiff from age but pliable.
