Cabinet: Ivory Painted Bakelite The radio measures aprox. 9.75 x 6 x 6 inches (WxDxH) I am selling off almost all of my collection of radio's. I still have few of these table top radios left to sell so keep your eyes open here on Ebay. I removed the chassis so you could see what shape it is in. I show you inside and out and close up so that you can see exactly the shape the radio is in before you bid get one and are disappointed. This radio is not working. It needs to be recapped and restored. See what is available on eBay but buy this one. I think you'll agree it is a nice radio at a fair price. If you have any questions I am glad to answer. Don't wait until the last minutes as I may not be able to get you an answer. The case is in good shape and has few light scratches and chips in the paint. The paint has a nice shine. The label on the bottom is worn and stained, Please view all the pictures. Look closely as what you see is what you will receive. The large round station indicator knob is in good shape. The small on/off volume knob is missing the metal retaining clip - a wood chip is holding it in place. Please examine the pictures closely. Both the tuning knob and the on/off volume knobs move freely. The volume works. The radio is as found and retains all the original electrolytics and paper caps. I jumped one side of the electrolytics and was able to hear audio as seen in the video. The antenna appears in good condition. The speaker has a repair on the left side about the 9 o’clock position. The flocking on the grille is wearing thin as seen The power cord looks good. It may be original to the radio. The radio is not playing. As stated, I made a test jump of the electrolytics and heard audio. I will leave the radio to someone else to restore. (See the video.) All the glass tubes light up and are working, I assume the metal ones are also since the glass tubes show life. (LOL). The tubes and all parts are untested The radio and chassis are dusty and need cleaning. The radio is as it is seen in the pictures. Please ask any questions before purchasing this radio. PLEASE READ: I have been shipping radios across the country and around the world for almost 30 years. I use new boxes and new and recycled packing materials. For this radio: I wrap the power cord in a used shopping bag to isolate it from the radio cabinet. I place the radio in a plastic bag and vacuum the air from the bag then tie it off to keep the radio safe from water, dust etc. This radio was bubble wrapped and placed in a box and packed securely with packing peanuts and the box is sealed. The box containing the radio is placed inside another outer box and is packed with packing peanuts on all four sides. The outer box is then sealed with heavy duty reinforced tape. A shipping label and “Handle with Care / Fragile / Thank You” labels attached to the top and sides of the box. I do not charge for the shipping supplies. I have paid a lot of money for a radio to have it arrive broken and the tubes falling out because someone though that by dropping it in a box with little to no packing was good enough. This radio is 77 years old. Once it is damaged or broken one cannot undo the loss. I pack the radios to arrive safely. It makes a mess when I pack them and one needs to take care when opening. So.The radio is double boxed. The outer box is 16" x 10” x 13" and weighs 7 lbs. This radio is located in and ships from Rome, Georgia 30165. Please examine the pictures closely. This is the radio you will receive. It is just as you see it. Pickup is available. SOLD AS IS, NO GUARENTEE / NO RETURNS.
