Description
This is a really beautiful piece of furniture. I do not plan to sell it but wanted to know more information about it. I think the speakers were replaced in the 1960's. It is missing a knob on the front and has a few water stains on the top surface, but is in otherwise great condition. The radio works perfect and has great sound. The red light goes on when the radio goes on and the green tube glows in the background of the radio. The knobs glide wonderfully. The reception is perfect. I'm not sure if the record player works.
