For starters I didn't know a VV-XIV had a radio in it,
But since TV Bob restored it maybe he put a TV in it too!

-I was wondering why it was so expensive, now we know!

As described on the page:
"This radio has been restored by TV Bob.
He has over 60 years experience in the tv and tube radio business.
He has restored all of our vintage radios and television sets.
His work is Superb!"

What a deal. And free shipping to boot.

This is what happens when you use the wrong restorer. It isn't shoddy - I'm certain that the lacquer is flawlessly smooth and you won't find a pit in the chrome - but it shouldn't be lacquer and chrome.
