Although this radio has been restored to its original specs, it is still a vintage radio with vintage technology. At the time it was manufactured it was not subject to the RF interference that is generated today from flat screen TV, computers, cable modems, LED lighting devices, etc. Careful placement of the radio may be necessary to minimize audio interference.

This radio has been fully restored; however, it is still a vintage piece of equipment that may eventually fail, so it is sold without a warranty. Items are carefully packaged.
