Panel is clean and undamaged, with original lettering everywhere (all of it crisp and legible) and no extra holes, no extra knobs, no modifications of any type. Original binding posts and binding post nuts. Dials and tap switch knob are likewise in excellent condition, and the panel still sits snugly in the cabinet. Chassis is correct and unmodified, with the original windings present on all of the coils, original ACME transformers, and the original wiring still present, too. Cabinet is in excellent condition (I believe it's walnut), with only scattered minor marks consistent with age and authenticity. Hinge hardware and latches are clean and original, and the drawbridge back locks snugly in place. As noted above, this is a working radio, and it comes with 3 good brass base, tipped tubes. If you want to operate the set you'll need the appropriate batteries or a good regulated power supply (I'd recommend an ARBEIII), a longwire outdoor antenna (approximately 120 feet long and 20 feet off the ground), and a 1920's horn loudspeaker.I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios, and I specialize in radios from the 1920's. I've been selling and shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique radio from me, you'll receive a radio that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
