I plugged in the receiver; all tubes light up, the panel meter works, and I picked up only several AM stations but without an antenna. Included are 3 original filters and a specifications brochure. No power cord; I just rigged up a temporary one for testing. All knobs look to be orig...inal and turn smoothly. The cabinet isn't in the best shape but a good cleaning or repainting would probably help a lot. There are no feet on the unit, only a rack slide.
When I got the receiver, it was in the shipping box which shows it was shipped from McClellan AFB in California and sent to Albany GA. The label states "Official Business Penalty for Private Use $300".
SELLING AS IS
