OK, I just bought this radio after seeing it on CL and brought it home. The man I got it from was a very nice gentleman and even gave me a coffee can full of tubes.

The cabinet seems to be in really good shape- no damage to the veneer or serious cracks. There are some scratches on the top and the normal amount of vacuum cleaner bruises on the bottom. The faceplate is warped. All the buttons are there and in good condition, but two knobs are missing. The chassis is rust free, antenna is good, and the speaker is in excellent shape.

You can see the scratches here:

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
