This old unit has been parked in a closet for decades, it would probably benefit from the typical service from non-use like cleaning controls, and whatever else you do to these units to bring them up-to-date, it powers up I was able to pick up a lot of chatter across the band, it does transmit when tested using another radio to receive. It is in good condition some of the knobs have the old oxidized material on the surface, which could be cleaned with a toothbrush and cleaner maybe I was going to list it as parts, not working, but it actually does work, but keep in mind, these old rigs typically benefit from cleaning the controls. Please see my other listings for an SBE 23 Channel ssb mobile radio.
