Somebody has stripped the cabinet outright and painted the top black, probably to cover up a black ring or veneer damage. In any event it looks even less like a $150 radio and more like a garage sale special in that condition. I don't know what line of stupidity was behind connecting a power cord to the antenna and ground terminals but I would definitely test for continuity before even thinking of buying it, I always assume the worst when I see things like that.
