The cabinet consists of a wooden top and front panel combined with plastic speaker grills.
The unit has been cleaned and repaired. In doing so, the pilot lamp, several tubes and other components were proactively replaced whose characteristics fell outside the tolerances.
The tuning lamp has been replaced and functions technically very well and has sufficient brightness.
The unit looks superb with minimal signs of use and is equipped with two speakers. It therefore has excellent sound and ample volume for a device of these dimensions.
The radio has good reception on all wave bands with the help of an external FM antenna made of ribbon cable. The unit receives LW, MW, KW and the FM band.
The FM band extends to 108 MHz in this version (74) and to 104 MHz in the other versions.
A pickup, a tape recorder and an additional loudspeaker can be connected to the unit.
