Thinking about buying model 630 Console?

Okay, so I did buy the 630 console yesterday.  I have less than $ 20 invested in this thing.  And the best part is no shipping damage to it because I drove over and picked it up!

I'm not sure when I will start into this one so it may sit in the garage for a couple months until then.  At the very least there are a lot of good parts in it.  All of the parts seem to be there, even the shadow meter.

It Works!

This console sat all Summer and Fall until this week when I started to look at it.  So far Iv'e replaced the 4 electrolytic caps, cleaned the bandswitch and tested the tubes.  Today with a dim bulb tester, I slowly tested out the chassis and found everything seems to be working pretty well for an old 1936 console.  
I know I will have to replace more capacitors and resistors to get it tuned up and working well and this will be done over the next few weeks.
I will post more information a about the progress.
