This is an export model having the full FM rangebetween 88-108 MHz. The case is a Birch wood with an original light brown lacquer exterior finish. The wood grain really pops on this small compact radio measuring 14.5″ Wide x 6 7/8″ Deep x 8.75″ High.
The case was cleaned and hand polished and still shows modest signs of wear and tear as expected for surviving over 60 years! All other exterior parts and trim have been thoroughly cleaned and polished but not refinished. The speaker grill cloth was replaced with a period correct complementary fabric. This radio makes an excellent display piece and sounds as well as it looks!
The chassis was removed from the case and all parts were well inspected and tested. Any defective capacitors were replaced, any resistors out of specifications were replaced and any weak or dead tubes replaced. The panel lights were replaced. Push button controls have been cleaned and lubricated. They all respond well. The pressboard back is in great shape with no damage. The power cord has been replaced with a modern equivalant.
