The exquisitely wood cabinet is made of a combination of wood veneers & inlays. The cabinet is a beautiful Brazilian Rosewood with walnut, oak, and sides with maple inlay. What a brilliant use of different woods in making this very desirable radio. Also, striking is the tulip motif ebony speaker grille. The octagon shaped dial escutcheon with colorful lighted dial add to the uniqueness and beauty of the radio.

The control knobs are wood and the radio has one broadcast and two shortwave bands. The radio was serviced by a professional tech and all internal parts including capacitors, that needs to be replaced were replaced with modern new ones. A new power cord was added. The radio is playing with great volume and sound quality. You will be proud to own this exceptional radio. Nice addition to any addition to any collection.
