Is $150 for a 42-1010 Worth It?
#6

If you like the 42-1010 I think it's maybe worth $40-75 at most in the shape it's in. The escutcheon is a ten pushbutton type and those are not being reproduced. As mentioned the chassis will need rewiring, and assume that the output transformer will be open. One thing that concerns me is why there appears to be a piece of paper scotch taped to the top?
The second radio is a 1929 or 30 model, no idea what chassis is in the back but they used several starting with a 65 up to a 95. In my opinion $145 is a little high for that one as well, I would have a look at it in person first to see if everything is there, we know from the picture that a knob is missing at least. I'm also not too sure about the condition of the finish, it has a dull look like maybe someone had been messing around with it in some way.
Regards
Arran
