A cute looking little mantle radio with chrome deco escutcheons, about 13 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 7 inches deep. I bought this a long time ago and never tried it. The cord shown attached to it was just tacked on to try it. The cord will need to be replaced correctly. It's not playing but the tubes light and there is low level hum.The original finish on the solid wood surfaces is flaking and needs refinished. The veneer front with inlay has been stripped and clear coated. There are 3 tiny chips / repairs to the front near the tuning knob. The chassis is not corroded but it's dusty. The 6 tubes are mounted sideways on the top and are visible through the vents in the top of the case. This radio is a 2-band radio. It has a 3-gang tuner so it should be a good player when restored. This radio has great potential.The radio does not play.The original label is in place on the chassis. A repair tag from the 30's is on the rear panel bandswitch.The cord is just tacked on for test purposes. It MUST be replaced.Look at all the pictures carefully and think about what you want to ask, and then send me a question. I'll reply and honor your preference about whether I should share your answer with the rest of Ebay.You pay the shipping at exact cost. The listing should show Priority and USPS Ground as options. My packing and shipping is great, read more
