Electronics/Chassis Restoration:
After cleaning the chassis, all tubes in the 5 tube set were tested and all defective or weak tubes have been replaced. All paper capacitors have been replaced. All out-of-tolerance resistors have been replaced. The chassis has been re-aligned for optimal performance. This radio has a lighted dial and a buiIt-in loop antenna for the AM Broadcast band. An external antenna wire may also be attached for more remote reception. The radio controls (on/volume, tuning) all work properly and smoothly. The radio is specified as a 117 volts AC/DC set.
Cabinet:
The cabinet is in excellent solid shape with no cracks, chips, scratches or any damage and has a nice finish.
Knobs, black dial and gold dial pointer are all in great shape.
A new clear dial cover was installed (...old one was not usable).
See photos for pictures of all sides.
