No repaints or repairs of any kind. None needed. The tuning dial works fine with no slippage. The little clock and alarm knobs are original intact securely attached and yellowed to match the yellow front! How nice! Clock works and keeps accurate time. The clock motor is quiet no buzzing, humming, or grinding. Alarm works. Clock and alarm set functions work. Sleep timer works. The power cable is securely attached. All paper and wax capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time! The tubes are working fine.
