"Unrestored with original finish cabinet. I finally traded up to one.
Got it from an estate and believed to belong to the owners parents when new based on the ID labels on the buttons and history of the son.

"Thanks Michael, kind of an early serial number I would think.
Mine are in the 4000 and 6000 ranges.

Is a co-axial tweeter mounted…"
