This Royal 3000 is in deed a parts unit, does not power up at all. some corrosion, front and back panel fairly beat up. I got exactly what I wanted out of it. The handle is intact and the Wave Rod antenna is straight. The tuning capacitor looks good which is what I was after, will clean it up and test it. Looks like most of the transistors will be good but will test them to see. The Wave Magnet looks great. All in all I got my moneys worth.
