I picked up this little Knight model 5015 in the flea market area of an antique engine show Saturday. I almost missed this little guy completely until I walked over to check out some other items on the table. Price was $10, though I pondered about it due to the radio missing about a third of the dial scale and the sun bleached appearance of the cabinet. I took pity and bought it though, seeing that the cabinet had no chips or cracks. I brought it home and since the cord looked good, I decided to try it out. To my surprise, instead of the angry hum I expected when I brought it up to full power, I had a fully working little table radio! Still working great so far after I cleaned and reseated the tubes. Sometimes these old sets will surprise you!
No matter where you go, there you are.
