This set works very well.  The picture tube, which is original to this set, is nice and bright on the available five channels.  The cabinet is very presentable.  Over the 20 year period that I have owned this set, I have considered completely refinishing the cabinet.  However, it is still in very presentable condition for a set of this vintage and model.  One place of note about the finish is the split veneer on the left side of the top lid (pictured below), which is common to this model.  This set would normally be displayed with the top open so it would not be noticable.  Although the set could be cosmetically improved by refinishing the cabinet, having this in it's completely original condition may be of more interest to the buyer.  The included radio function is also in good working condition. This set will not be shipped; the buyer must make their own shipping arrangements after the auction closes.  I will be more than happy to asist with this in any way I can, including the option to pick it up directly. It is difficult to describe all the facets of this rare set so please contact me with any and all questions before bidding.  Set will be sold 'as is' with no guarantees due to the age of the electronics.
