This was bought at an auction and brought straight to me for a check-up. Overall, it was in very good condition. But, with the components being over 50 years old, I felt the major power handling devices needed replacing. This radiogram was going to see use afterall.

A full service was carried out which included replacing various capacitors and resistors that were out of tolerance.
