This is your standard AA5 (All American Five) plastic radio. Hundreds of
millions of radios with this basic design were manufactured in the U.S.A.
(and a few million in Canada as well) circa 1940-1970. Collector value
is documented in several catalogs. This radio is probably extremely easy
to fix, so if you like it, and can stand the idea of listening to AM, buy
it if the price is right for you (but again remember that several million
were made!).

Just for your information, in this type of circuit, if one tube lights up, all
others will light up as well. However, a tube may be bad even though it
lights up. Keep on reading and doing some research, you will learn a lot!
