Got a 39-6 today
#1

Yesterday saw this ad, the 39-6 being sold for 20 bucks.
Got it this morning (25 minutes from me).

The catch - yes I went for a 20 dollar radio, but we met on a farmer's market parking lot, and there was an old cars show, and the market is wonderful (and they have their own u-pick gardens) and I left $100 having bought bunch of cheeses we do not have in our supermarkets, and bunch of local produce, like the weirdest heirloom tomatoes and such.

Oh well, I had some fun buying it.

The radio has some damage to the cabinet, but is otherwise clean and restorable, and for $20....I did not even bargain. Plus I met a real nice guy who sold it to me, a retired military, living on the base with his wife who's still active duty.

Here it is.
