I bought this Automatic radio off of E-bay. I really, really, really wanted
this one, because it is one of the coolest radios I have ever seen. I wasn't
disappointed when it arrived. This radio is nearly perfect. The case is
flawless, a deep brown bakelite with unique grille. The dial glass is a glass
circle which rotates when the knob is turned. It is in perfect shape, and looks
great in the dark when lit from behind. The radio even has its original back,
which is in excellent shape.
The radio seems to work fine as found. There is a very low, barely audible hum, so I may
replace the electrolytic filter capacitors at some point. It's fine for now. The
chassis had very little dust on it, I wonder if this set was ever used much? It
is in such great shape, it looks like it might have spent part of its life in a box.
