Yes indeed, I cant believe nobody bid on it except me! Took it home for a $20 and did power it up with varaic with positive results, hums . Shadow meter works and speaker is good, transformer checks ok and cant wait to get going on restoration. I do have a correct tone arm assembly that I can take out of another radio /phono set if need be. This radio is a lot bigger than it looks, biggest round dial of that style and is very heavy. Looks to be original finish although there are no decals around the nobs?
