measuring a very grand...55cm long...40cm high...19cm deep ( approx )

PLEASE NOTE...before listing i plugged the radio in & switched it on...the valves inside all lit up...&...within about 40seconds ( warm up time ) it was working with good sound...i was able to tune in 6 or so local stations which no doubt could be improved with a better/newer aerial ( which is very easy & cheap to fit by any electrical technician ) as reception varies greatly from location to location...PLEASE REMEMBER though that this is an old electrical item & i can give no guarantees as to its continued working condition...most vintage radios are now used simply for their display appeal & i would also advise that if it were to be used regularly that it be checked over by a professional to ensure 100% safety ( as should all vintage electrical items )

CONDITION...the radio is in excellent original condition...it appears complete with the...dial...tuning knobs & backplate...all present & in great condition...

the painted factory finished metal cabinet is in beautiful original condition...it has no chips, cracks or repairs & the striking tiger striped factory finish retains its original beautiful soft lustre
