    Description

    1959 Pontiac Bonneville Catalina Radio
    When a TV Repair shop closed down 20 years ago I got a bunch of radios that had been left behind over the years.  I guess he waited 30 years for the customer to return and now I've waited another 22.  Time for it to find another owner.
    This one was diagnosed as needing a 12DS7 and 12AD6.  The service tags from 1970 are still attached.  I am including a NOS Delco 12DS7 I had in stock, and an untested 12AD6 I got from untested tubes I have acquired over the years.  It is a super clean Anchor brand tube in a Sylvania box which makes me think it is probably used.  I haven't been able to test it.
    This radio will clean up really well, I believe.  The black paint around the dial face will need to be repainted, but I think the chrome will clean up well and the black paint in the "Pontiac" lettering looks great.  I don't have knobs.
    Please look carefully at the shipping options as I can't tell when listing which will be the best for you.  I've given you several to choose from.
    Shipping:
    Domestic:  I charge a small handling fee to cover shipping costs and have been shipping items for decades with excellent success.  I am confident I can get this to you in good condition
    International:  I have had no complaints and no lost packages. However, not all shipping options allow tracking or insurance. It seems to depend on the destination country.
    I will use the method of your choice on inexpensive items, but will assume no responsibility for services not available by your chosen method.
    I often do not list 1st Class International shipping as an option, but will use it by special request.
    I expect my buyers to understand the services available in their country better than I do.
    Communication:
    I'll answer questions quickly in most cases. You will receive a shipping notification with tracking info and a short message from me. I will not otherwise communicate with you unless you have a request. I will give feedback on all transactions.
    I have 100% positive feedback and will do my part to maintain it.
    Thanks for looking!
