The Radio Attic seller that Tom mentions always has a number of Canadian made sets for sale at inflated prices. He has also tried pedaling sets with home brew cabinets as "rare" factory originals, one was a Philco 640 or 650 he bought on fleabay, probably because he didn't know it was a fake. He is even known on the alternative forum for the cut rate service jobs performed on his sets; someone over there knew one of his former "techs" who had a falling out with the old man because he didn't Muntz things enough. Basically you are paying premium restored prices for flea market grade sets, don't commit to anything without some under chassis shots first.
