Well, It arrived recently and I'm very happy I bought it! It totally looks like a Munchkin radio! See the pic of it next to my 38-610. It's a nice solid cabinet and the radio only seems to be missing a small triangular piece at the bottom of the escutcheon. I have a lead on a parts radio, so that may fix itself. The light spots on the middle front edges of the cabinet sides are just finish loss, not bad wood, like I had worried about.... The knobs look like the ones on my AK 80, just smaller. Any thoughts on them?
