During their long history, many of these radios have been dismantled and worked on. This leads to lost parts including, in some cases their original chassis.
It is important as you assess the originality of the radio, confirm the chassis is "Correct" for the make and model. Unless you have immediate access to a correct replacement, we do not suggest you buy the radio.
