Condition: Was working last time I switched it on... but that was around sixty years ago, so will need some careful checking of electrolytic capacitors etc. before applying power! The photos show one of the knobs missing but this was subsequently located (pictures to be updated), superficially there is some damaged/missing wood veneer on the top left of the cabinet, and also the rear cover is missing. This radio has been amongst my attic clutter for some five or six decades, and I've decided that it is now time to let have a chance of some loving restoration at the hands of someone who knows what they are doing!
