NOTE: Catalin radios are typically sold as "not in working condition". It is Catalin Store's sales policy to sell all of its radio as "not working". If you buy a radio and intend to listen to it, it is vital you bring the radio to a vintage electronics expert to check it out and do the repairs to assure the radio's safe operation.
