I think I'll pass on this one...

Get out the handkerchief, guys!

There's a flea market hereabouts that I go to a lot. A few years ago I happened to look under a table in the outside area, and recognized a Philco shoulder tombstone with a rather obvious 16/116 chassis, looking at it from behind. I looked at the front , it was a '35 vintage 16. How much, I asked? Ten bucks, he said. I didn't want to waste time negotiating, so I paid his price. I did restore it, and let it go, as I already had one.

Some times, you just have to pay the price!
