Cord in nice condition. Plugged the radio in, tubes glowed, radio turned on tuned ok, indicator tracked nicely. Did not test battery/portability aspect, suspect that a special battery pack would be needed for this. There is a dent in the brass above the 100 on the tuning dial. Gouge below the RCA Victor lettering, bottom front. Several scratches/scuffs in plastic casing, but no cracks.
