Electrothaumaturgist,
The cabinet is not too bad. On the top side edge there is some veneer wear/loss and a piece of veneer missing on the rounded side and of course the normal scratches on the top etc. I think some of these larger heavy cabinets seemed to get more abuse just sitting. The top looks like something was sitting on it causing lighter and darker areas. For the most part I think a clean up and something like Howard's might make it more presentable.
The dial cover plastic was missing along with the eye tube and holder assembly. I have replacements for both.My biggest concern is cleaning the dial.There is something white on one area.
I will try to add a pic or two later.
When this radio became available I was still grieving the loss of my 9T that I had sold at a past show. The price was right so after a road trip it was home with me..
Ron,
It's funny about no matter where you live the radios you like always seem so far away.I seem to a lot of appealing radios out your way. You know the grass is always greener elsewhere.
