Sometimes it *is* possible to bring back the past - had one of these when I was a kid, gave it away like an idiot. With that said, this example is in much better cosmetic condition, although it needs re-capping at the very least as the RF section isn't working. 4 of its 5 tubes are original Arvin brand, so it probably doesn't have that many hours on it. Need to test them and see how good they may be.
