Majestic 50. Worth the gamble?
#1

I was up at an antique mall this afternoon and ran across a virtually complete Majestic 50 tombstone radio along with its original stand for $100. Other than the missing back panel, the radio was 100% complete and both it and the stand looked nice. The only thing that held me back was that the tuner seems stuck! I know Majestics have some pot metal in the tuners and this caused me to pass on the set, even though it's one I have wanted for a while. Now I am wondering, would it have been worth the gamble for the price? How often would one of these been found with its optional stand. I know if the 45's test good, that would just about cover the cost of the set.

No matter where you go, there you are.
