Item Description

Up for sale is a vintage Westinghouse \"Imperial\" AM Vacuum Tube Radio (Model H880T5 / H881T5) from the mid-1960s. This specific unit features a beautifully preserved white cabinet molded from high-strength Enjay Escon Polypropylene, complete with its original factory sticker still intact on the back panel. The front features the iconic gold-tone vertical \"Imperial\" tuning dial and both original dual-control knobs.

Condition Details:

• Exterior: The plastic housing is remarkably well-preserved with excellent color. No chips, cracks, or hairline fractures. The faceplate and text labels are clear and readable.

• Functionality: The unit is currently non-working. When plugged into a standard outlet, it does not power on, light up, or hum.

• Internal Note: When the radio is turned over, you can hear a loose component shifting inside, which is likely a vacuum tube that has popped out of its socket. The safety interlock back panel is still securely attached, so the chassis has not been opened or tampered with.

This is an excellent cosmetic candidate for a winter restoration project, a source for hard-to-find cosmetic parts, or a striking mid-century display piece.

Please review all the high-resolution photos carefully to assess the cosmetic condition for yourself. Sold strictly AS-IS / For Parts or Repair.
