This is my first AK, compared to the others I have (Philco, Z, Rca, GE, Gloritone & some odds & ends) what immediately struck me upon inspection was the build quality of the chassis. The old gentleman who I purchased it from had re-finished the cabinet at some point and I would say it is a fair job....not what I would have done but presentable. I may try to re do it somewhat at a later date. It was his first old radio, he decided he didn't really want to pursue the hobby all that much after the experience....plus his wife would not allow it in the living room where he wanted to display it. I have heard a similar story a lot lately from guys about the wives not being amenable to the hobby. Those of us whose wives are supportive or at least tolerant are fortunate.
