The cabinet structure is sound with all joints tight. All of the veneer is intact with the shoulder lighter in tone than the body of the radio. This antiquity is 84 years old and it shows few signs of age.  The grille cloth has been replaced with a high-quality European grille cloth.

The Selectronne 6-tube chassis has been cleaned and is sold as “Not Working”.  The Electro Magnetic Dynamic LS 5” speaker has an intact original cone.  It has 2-Bands: Broadcast/SW.
