The chassis is clean and complete and is currently playing well having been electronically restored.   I have hand refinished the cabinet to its original Pistachio  pale green color. This was done completely by hand with no machine sanding. If you are looking for a handsome addition to your collection, please consider this beauty.  Please email me with any questions.  I have several other choice condition art deco vacuum tube radios listed currently.
