"Hard to believe that radio prices have gone down that much." 
DOWN ? I remember when one could find things like this on the curb on trash day, free for the taking, or at the Salvation Army for $25 ! Little old AA5s went for a dollar or two if the bakelite case was cracked, and the wood ones went for maybe $5 if their cabinet was scratched and ugly.... provided me with a lot of radios to learn my trade on, and to amass parts from, especially tubes.
