Unfortunately, someone put something hot on the top of the radio that left an impression in the varnish. A similar defect is just above the dial on the front and along the right side. The knobs turn smoothly and properly, but the dial indicator is not functioning. Grill cloth is in great shape, with no rips or holes and the cloth power cord is in good condition with one section that is frayed.
Great radio to add to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.
