I SERVICED IT AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE  SPEAKER IS IN FINE CONDITION. tHERE IS A TONE SWITCH AT THE REAR TO SWITCH BETWEEN TREBLE AND BASS. TYPICAL OF THE ERA, IT HAS A  PROVISION FOR CONNECTING A PHONOGRAPH TO PLAY THROUGH ITS AMPLIFIER. THE KEY FILTER AND OTHER CAPACITORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED,  ALL TUBES ARE EITHER NEW, OR CHECK LIKE NEW. THE CONTROLS HAVE BEEN LUBRICATED AND THE RADIO HAS BEEN ALIGNED TO GIVE GREAT RECEPTION UP AND DOWN THE DIAL.FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS A 'BIG BAND'S OLDIES STATION IN ANOTHER TOWN .

COSMETICALLY, THE SET IS CLEAN AND HAS BEEN POLISHED. THE TOP IS IN GOOD  CONDITION. THE FRONT AND SIDES ARE FINE., AS ARE THE GRILLE CLOTH AND KNOBS. THE LENS HAS BEEN CLEANED.
