I agree with the consensus. It certainly has it's share of "grey areas", but still could be seen as a "diamond in the rough". When I decide whether or not to take on a project I take the "worst case scenario" approach, and Murphy lives in my back pocket! Then I make a rough calculation of investment needed on sight alone to rehabilitate the project. Having done that, TRIPLE THE FIGURE!!! Don't ask me why.
To most of us, radios are more a labor of love than anything else. Personally, I have always been fascinated with early radio. All I can say is if the radio speaks that loudly to you and you can cover the commitment of cash and time, then go with it. If you can't, list it on CL and see if it talks to someone else. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
