Grandfather clock radio combo

I wouldn't be in a rush to buy this.  Hold off until a much nicer Philco (or other make) becomes available.  I know that you have a feeling that this is a terrific opportunity but quite frankly, it isn't.  In another week, or month or two, there will be a much nicer Philco to buy.  

A couple of months ago I bought a Philco Tall Clock (forgot the model #) with a Model 70 chassis, in very good condition for $150.  It was a nuisance to bring home sticking out the back of my Jeep Wrangler on the notorious NJ Rte. 80 at 70 mph but I made it home none the less.  The only thing I lost was dust.
 
My Philco experience with Philco's goes well beyond 50 years (my first being a 37-84 that I bought for $1.25 in 1956).  I've learned to wait and find the best that I can find.  In other words, don't just jump in but wait for the best opportunities.  My attic is full of opportunities that I should have ignored.
