This example here is working perfect, plays, all lights are working, but it is sold 'as is'. These radio's need TLC and a check up for regular use. I can send a video where it can be seen playing music.

It is not mint but the front is in excellent condition. The acrylic front is without damage. The plywood case is in good condition but has some paint missing here and there. Just normal wear and tear.
