Condición y estética:
The radio features a stunning wooden case with a rich grain finish that has been remarkably well-maintained. The front facade, including the dial glass and the cream-colored knobs/grille, is in "Very Good" visual condition with minimal signs of age. It is rare to find this specific model in such a clean and intact state.

Es raro encontrar este modelo específico en un estado tan limpio e intacto.

Technical Status:
• Power: The radio powers on (lights up).
• Functionality: Due to the wave bands (Broadcast and Short Wave) and the lack of FM on this vintage tube model, I have not been able to tune into a clear modern station in my area. However, the internal components appear complete. It is being sold as a beautiful vintage piece that turns on, though a technical check-up is recommended for daily use.

Estado técnico:
• Alimentación: la radio se enciende (se ilumina).
• Funcionalidad: Debido a las bandas de onda (Radiodifusión y Onda Corta) y a la falta de FM en este modelo de tubo vintage, no he podido sintonizar una emisora moderna clara en mi zona. Sin embargo, los componentes internos parecen completos. Se vende como una hermosa pieza vintage que funciona al encenderse, aunque se recomienda una revisión técnica para uso diario.
