I had been looking for one of these for a while and finally came across one on epay. There were actually 2 up for bid at one time. One seller wanted $250 as a starting bid and one seller started at 99 cents. I put in a bid of $40 and forgot about it. When I checked on it a few days later I won it for $38! From the ebay pics it appeared in good condition with faded buttons for the radio stations, cassette controls, and handle. When it arrived it was dusty and had some paint and rust stains on the speaker grills.
I stripped it down in about 45 minutes but the front speaker grill was VERY difficult to remove. I painted all the faded parts and put it back together. This radio has excellend sound with very clean highs and surprisingly solid, deep bass. The sound clarity is especially nice when on the wide setting. The controls are very firm and have a high end feel to them. The speaker cone centers get the white appearance from a white cloth cover on the center nipple. I am extremely pleased with this radio and happy with how it looks now. Here are some before and after pics....
