Wood Cabinet
Light Restorative item
Powers on, lights up, and produces static. I almost had a station tuned in but lost it. After trying for a while, it began doing a pulsing type static. Our location either provides a strong signal or nothing at all.
Cabinet is in fairly good condition, and a piece of trim loose on one side. Cabinet is sturdy and fairly beautiful for its age. A piece of the front bottom trim is broken off, and the wooden speaker grill has some cracking but is intact.
Knobs turn freely, and the power knob clicks on and off. The tuner knob adjusts the needle really well. Upon pushing the station presets, nothing seemed to change.
This is a rare and beautiful find!
