Some Scratches and scuffs here and there on the case. Looks like the faceplate was glued in at some point but you can only see this if you take it apart. I replaced the Light and associated wiring inside as the wires had dry rotted. When I first got this the power wire had deteriorated. I first replaced this wire and wanted to clean the inside of the face so I took the radio out and discovered the face had been glued back to the case.

When the previous owner glued this on I guess they didn't care to take the radio out so this weird black glue had gotten on the cable that connected dial to the knob. This made it impossible to turn or tune the stations. So I removed the goop and the cable and replaced with with high test clear wire. It now functions properly when turning the knob both ways. Subsequently, I saw the wire connecting the lightbulb housing had dry rotted so I replaced the wire and the housing with a much more robust wire and an LED screw in candelabra based bulb.
