Description from the seller

This Belgian tabletop radio has been fully restored and is ready for daily listening pleasure.
The bakelite case and front-panel parts have been deeply cleaned and protected with a clear high-gloss lacquer (maintenance-free).
Due to irreparable defects in the original circuit board, the unit was converted via point-to-point assembly into a 3.5-watt tube amplifier, driven by either:
- A solid-state tuner with very good FM reception via a whip antenna (87.5-108 MHz) and mediocre to poor reception on medium wave (strongly dependent on local conditions). Therefore the medium wave is offered as non-working.
- A Bluetooth receiver (not Hi-Fi);
All resistors, capacitors, and semiconductors are new.
Since this is a mains-powered device, there are no external inputs and/or outputs.
Scale illumination with LED-E10-6V
Tubes: UY82-UL84-UBF80-UCH81 (tested +90%)
B335*H185*D170 – 2.5 KG
