 I just bought my third one of these . I redid the other two and sold them.
 I may keep this one. It has seven bands and thirteen tubes, and seven knobs.I had to refinish the cabinets on the other two but this one looks like it is all original. It is missing two knobs ,one tube and a power cord.
   These are the only photos I have, as I won't pick it up until Thursday

A fine looking specimen.  Gosh, there are no radios left in Michigan...

  Well I picked it up today and the cabinet is better than I expected. It won't have to be stripped .. All that is needed is a knob, recap, power cord, and a good cleaning..I just might keep this one.
[edit. [ I see it also needs some station call letters]
