LOL, thanks John. When I first saw this radio at our local auction house, I liked the style of the cabinet so I bid on it and won. When I went to pick it up, I was shocked to see how insanely heavy it was for a table top radio, I think it’s over 60#. I wouldn’t have bid on it if I knew that up front. I am pleased with how it came out and it is a good performer but I won’t be moving it or rotating it much!
