    Cosmetic Condition:
    This is a very nice looking radio.
    Far better than most
    seen on ebay.  Minor wear, light scratches in places, and age related blemishes.  Nothing real objectionable. Used manual.
    Electrical Condition
    :
    Generally works with this exception
    . I can hear standard AM broadcast easily. The LW band is mostly noise where I am. The SW bands are believed ok, as I can hear SW stations and WWV with a long wire antenna. The S-Meter and the Sensitivity control do not function properly and may need replacing. This does not seem to affect reception. The meter does not move, but it use to. The control does not feel right when rotated. Could be repaired if you choose to do so. You may be able to pick up a “parts only” radio and replace these two parts.
    Radio has been serviced over the years and taken good care of. Electrolytic capacitors and some resistors have been changed. Measured voltages are well within tolerance, per schematic. I am not the original owner, but radio was well cared for.
    The
    complete
    manual is included.
    Tubes
    used are: 6BE6, 6HR6, 6AK6/6AR5, 12AX7A (incl).
    This was a “classic” radio from decades ago. It made many-a-boys Christmas wish list back then.   A nice item for the radio collector.   Could use minor servicing.
