1960's Vintage Lafayette Radio Explor-Air 4 Band Short Wave Model KT-135 working

Description

This is a working Lafayette Radio Electronics  Model KT-135  Explor-Air  4 Band Radio.  Medium band and 3 Short Wave bands. Some parts are not original due to their lack of availability.  I've heard radio transmissions on all 4 bands. I usually listen to AM stations due to the short wave bands rely on atmospheric conditions.  I used a wire antenna which I threw out my basement window to listen to the stations.  The tubes are taped down for shipping, I would remove the tape when you take possession of it.   Cabinet is a little frayed as you see in the pictures.  Although the radio plays like a normal radio ( plug it in,  turn the volume control to on and let it warm up ).     YOU are buying a 50+ year old electronic device that have many finger prints on it,   Please operate it with care. Radio will be sent insured signature may be required. Please ask all questions before bidding.    Thanks
