    Description

    First of all, this radio has been well cared for. it is very clean with a gorgeous wood cabinet. There is what appears to be a small shallow hairline crack in the finish on the top rear. It can be seen only when looking at a certain angle. It is very minor to the excellent overall appearance of the radio. (see the last photo). I think you will have a difficult time finding one with a nicer appearance. In testing I was able to get loud clear reception of FM stations up and down the dial. (reception of course varies by your location).
    The base and treble controls are working.
    I don't have an antenna so I cannot test UHF or short wave bands. I also don't have the ability to test the
    auxiliary
    inputs. For this reason I am selling AS IS. The dial lights are working. Also please note that for some unknown reason the tuning is a bit finicky on the FM band, In some places tuning is smooth and in other places tuning is stiff. You have to finesse the dial. I don't know for sure but it may be that lubrication of the tuning
    pulleys
    would help. Maybe it's something else. Please ask any questions. I am far from an expert but I will do my best to answer. This radio is large and heavy. 20 1/4" long X 12 3/4" tall X 10" deep at the bottom tapering to 8 3/4" at the top.
    Please be assured that great care will be taken to pack this radio for safe shipping. I have successfully shipped dozens of tube radios including several Grundigs which are similar.
