Original 1958 His Master's Voice (HMV) Model 1373 Valve Radio Classic British-made radio with distinctive two-tone styling. When switched on, the frequency dial lights up and the tuning needle moves (but not fully from top to bottom). However, there is no sound output except the occasional crackle, so this unit is sold as untested/ for restoration/ for parts. Ideal for collectors or vintage electronics enthusiasts. Long Wave / Medium Wave reception AC/DC mains powered 4-valve superhet design Dimensions: Approx 345 x 210 x 160 mm Weight: Approx 3.7 kg Condition: Cosmetically good with age-related wear. Frequency dial lights up and tuning moves (not fully) and there is no steady sound. The original plug (I think) is being used, but is slightly chipped at the top (see photo). Sold as seen, no returns due to age.
