You are offerding on a Zenith tube type Trans-Oceanic Portable radio. This radio is in reasonable condition for being 64 years old. I turned it on and tuned it to several AM radio stations and they come in nice and clear. I did not test the other bands. This is a Model G500 Chassis 5G40 which was made in 1950. It comes with the suction cups (a little hard), Wave Magnet (antenna) withattachment cable, Waverod (antenna), Operating Guide (instruction manual). It does NOT come with the optional battery pack, headphones, or Ballast tube switch for 220v operation. The manual has some small pin-pinches in it and some entries for short wave stations that the user entered in 1950. The power cord shows some cracking and drying out of the plastic, so, probably needs to be replaced.
