Mike,

The good news is that the curved wooden areas are in good shape. For whatever reason on one side the veneer is peeling terribly but the other side actually looks pretty good.

The tubes all light up and the speaker crackles when I hooked up a 9 volt battery to it, so I know it's good. Other than that, it's totally silent. I've got some light chassis rust as well, but generally, it's all there and complete. I know I'm going to need some industrial strength help when I get going on this radio.

Tom
