It plays surprisingly well
The chassis sure gets hot though. It seems the brass shield collars around each tube base draws a lot of heat into the chassis.
If any radio needed a new power cord, it was that one. I was surprised to see it had the original one. Looked like the really early type plastic insulation and all twisted up. The plug looked like a replacement, as well.
