This is in really great condition, with all original knobs, switch, and antenna. Only minor cosmetic imperfections (all visible in the photos).
I have not tested it to see if it works but all seems good upon visual inspection. I\'ve read that you shouldn\'t just plug these in before it\'s inspected by someone with expertise of these sets as it can short it out or cause other issues.
I recommend you get this inspected before you try plugging it in and turning it on. Sold as-is regardless of whether it functions or not.
