The glossy onyx catalin cabinet is in great condition with no chips, cracks or repairs; it does have a super mild tube burn that blends perfectly with the swirls and color. Radio's cabinet has been cut/polished back to its original onyx green color from it's oxidized caramel coloring. The marbleized yellow insert grill, knobs and fluted knobs are original and have no damage. The beautiful graphic dial is bright and in great condition. The dial plastic + water-slide decal are correct replacements. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + use of set.
