I restored a 9K2 for a customer/friend about 10 years ago. That was a fine radio. It had a really nice cabinet - when refinished. AS-is, the beautiful veneers may not be very visible. If I had an extra 2 ft. of display space, I could squeeze one in (they are about 3ft. wide - I could just push extra hard).

As I recall the short-wave band went up to about 60mhz., but like many radios of the time, the osc. was only good to about 30mhz. It had a "Magic Brain" front end.

The 9K (no2) might be a little different.
