    DESCRIPTOR / DISCLAIMER
    This radio's appearance and features are typical of late 1930s to early 1940s console radios.
    Tubes light up when power is applied but radio has audio distortion and moderate feedback tones when stations are tuned in on any band. Electrical troubleshooting and repair will be needed to correct these problems and otherwise return this radio to its original electrical specifications.
    Tuning drive has slippage that may need mechanical adjustment or repair to correct.
    As shown in listing photographs, cabinet front and sides have moderate scratching, but cabinet top has more serious scratching and discolorations.
    As shown in photographs: [1] metal mounting bracket for Wave Magnet antenna is not present; [2] On/Off Volume and Main Tuning knobs are warped and discolored but are otherwise functional.
    This console radio is heavy and bulky to ship. To protect against damage during shipment, radio will be packed carefully with ample resilient packaging material between radio and its shipping box.
    Free local pickup is available (sale price for radio prepaid prior to pickup).
    Stored carefully in air conditioned, smoke-free environment. Details noted above in Condition Description and Descriptor/Disclaimer sections. Will be packed per USPS guidelines for safe packing.
