It appears this radio is darn near as new can get to new... meaning as near to original ive seen.
I see a couple signs that maybe threre may have been a repair but i have to confirm.
all the tubes say hallicrafters.

works really great.

what it needs:
restring dial needle-done
The BFO is not optimum so i will fix that today but otherwise its ready for christmas wrapping paper.
Polarized power cord-will let my son do that
Inline fuse-will let my son do that
I broke the speaker paper... i fixed that with brush on rubber cement made by slime.  



this radio is going to my oldest son.

I have a problem though,
My brother in law was in yesterday from a road trip and a while back he picked up what he calls a "retro" am radio. He said he really likes it but it doesnt have a way for an external antenna and it just doesnt pick up much.

He showed signs that he would like to have a hallicraters,,, so on the hunt again for another.
