very unexpected gift

[G GOLLY WAlly]

It was actually given to me about 15 years ago by a very kind man named Wilbur Short I don't think he ever used it because it was still in the original box and packing. 2nd time I've ever had it out never have talked on it, probably never will but I'll definitely never part with it. regret not visiting with him more often as he passed away 6 or 7 years ago. notice the price, that was a lot of money in 1975

Very nice radio.

Thank you, I'm proud of it, it's dang near perfect, after looking it over again last night I gathered if he talked on it, it was very, very little. it does have some slight scratches on the little nub that slides into a mic holder other than that a little shrinkage in the fake wood covering other than that its pretty much perfect. if I were to use it I'd have it all recapped, I do enjoy antique radios ,if I ever get that radio room I'd like it will definitely be on display.

Looks to me like it’s begging to be plugged in, connected to an antenna and turned on.
