I bought this from the estate of its’ original owner. It appears to be in good original condition, not abused or physically damaged. I connected it to a variac where I slowly brought up the current from 30 volts to about 100 volts over 40 minutes or so. I didn’t connect it to any kind of antenna but I did get reception on the AM band, and a little bit on another band, I can’t remember which. The tuning dial cords are broken so I had to turn the tuning capacitors by hand inside the cabinet. the strings and springs are inside the cabinet, as can be seen in the photos. Cosmetically it’s probably about an 8 out of 10, with some surface rust. For shipping information, click on the shipping tab on the listing page and fill in the information for your location.
