Where purchased: eBay, September 2004
As received it was in good shape. It was claimed to be working, but it appears that the audio transformer was loose because of a missing screw and moved around in shipping causing one of the speaker wires to come loose. After reattaching it it worked fine. Even the pilot lamp was good.
The radio was given the usual restoration of a good cleaning, recapping, and a new line cord.
