This was a working Arkay S5E radio, that we disassembled back to its original kit form. The chassis, tube sockets, and tuning capacitor were immersion cleaned to remove all dirt and grime. Includes tubes in plain white tubes boxes, no warranty on tubes.

In addition to all the original salvageable components, the kit comes with a COMPLETE set of NOS (New Old Stock) carbon composition resistors, a COMPLETE new capacitor set, new dial tuning string, and new hookup wire! You are therefore building the kit with a new set of parts, just like the original!

The resistors are ALL vintage carbon composition types, tested to be in spec. The RF front-end ceramic capacitors have been upgraded to superior polystyrene types. The tubular capacitors are brand new film caps, including a safety rated AC line capacitor. Finally; we are including two high voltage electrolytic capacitors, to replace the original dual power supply filter capacitor, if it becomes necessary. This is as close as you can get to an original unbuilt kit!!

Classic 5 tube superheterodyne design, receives the standard AM broadcast band. Instructions are provided as JPEG images on a CD-R, scanned directly from an original manual. Also comes with the three colored overlays. These were copied onto clear film sheets, and are actually superior to the old originals.

The kit has the following minor issues. The case is in overall very good condition. A repair was made on the left rear side, to what appears to be a missing section, about the size of a dime. Their is also a crack in this area. Their are light scratches and blemishes in various spots, the front is in very good shape. The dial face is in good condition. One knob has several very small chips on its rim, the other knob has a single larger chip. The speaker cone has had a repair done to it. Overall; the radio will be very presentable!
