This was a breeze to restore. A two day project. It has a somewhat unique plastic cabinet that totally encloses the chassis. It splits in the middle, and there's a built in hand grab on top. Interesting design, too, where the dial runs in front of the speaker. Haven't seen too many of this model of Transitone show up online.
