Speaker grille cloth is original so is the dial cover which is nice and clear. Both original knobs. There is slight blemishes in the dial foil. There is a dial light to shine on the dial. 4 new rubber feet fitted. The speaker has been re coned.
All capacitors replaced. 2 (12SA7, 12SQ7) of 5 tubes replaced. The other 3 tubes have high emission. Alignment performed. Radio plays well with the built in loop antenna which is seldom found in radio this old. If an outside antenna is to be used, simply disconnect the bridging wire between #1 and #2 lugs in the back cover and connect the outside antenna to #1. It is deemed not necessary if you live in the urban or suburb. Her petite size is 5 1/2" x 7" x 10". selling
