I have one which has been sitting for 15 years or so. The cabinet aand front panel are original and very good condition since they are 60 years old I guess.

No modifications physically that I can see. The inside is clean although someone marked the tube names under the chassis with pencil, but S Meter works and I can hear Broadcast stns...no antenna but a 2' wire on back.

This has not been refurbished in my opinion. The face screws look like they may have been of a couple of times...paint good under them and they are not buggered like someone taking them on and off many times. I am surprised as to the originality. i just think someone before me(and I havent ever used it-12-15 yrs ago I bought it) just let it sit in a corner. I think the manual is a reproduction.

Any idea of value?

Thanks,
Val

If yu describe it accurately & post plenty of pictures, you should be able to get $225-$250 for it on eBay. There's quite a market for the old boat anchors.
