Condition & Testing Notes:
Functional State: Powers on and tunes into some broadcast stations across the AM band. Audio output is currently playing at a very low volume level (likely due to original electrolytic capacitors needing replacement). Sold as-is for parts, restoration, or display.
Cosmetics: Very clean vintage cosmetic condition. The red/white plaid speaker grille is intact and free of major dents. The acrylic corner insets and dial window show typical light age-related surface wear but no severe cracks.
