Radio Cabinet has on the inside bottom rear left back rail (back panel retaining screw hole) a very small chip that can not be seen when displayed - see photos. Gold fabric grill cloth is original to the radio and in great condition with no holes or fading and only small signs of age. The 3 Catalin knobs are perfect + original to the radio. Water-slide decal, dial plastic, + cardboard back panel are replacements.
