What $140 Bought Me This November
#1

I consider myself very lucky this month. For the meager sum of $140 I have acquired the following radios:
1. Another 9s262 Zenith looks to be a basically unmolested set. with ALL of it's original knobs.
2. A Zenith 6s52 needing some case help, with ALL of it's original knobs.
3. A Sparton 1268 with photochromatic dial. Case is in overall nice condition, with ALL of it's original knobs. The dial is broken but is still usable. There is flaking on the back side and I am wondering if there is any method to be able to stop it from going any further. I know these dials are pretty much unobtanium, but you never know..............
