I had advised the owners with regard to antique radios not to just plug them in and "try them out". However they did turn this set on and surprisingly it worked well. Even the tuning eye. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it had any electrical restoration done to it. It could be just that the original components are still functioning...for the time being. I paid $150 for my fully restored 1936 Sparton console a few years back but only because I know the man who restored it (he's a highly respected and knowledgeable member of our local radio club) and I know it was done right. He's not one to cut corners, so for all of the work he described doing, that was more than a fair price to me.
