Today I'm excited to kick off the restoration of my 1931 Philco 112 Highboy!

This was the first time I bought anything from willeezwarez on eBay.
Willee ships via Greyhound which keeps shipping costs down (he also eats some of the shipping cost as a way to entice bidding).
He does an *awesome* job packing these big consoles. Here's how it arrived:

Now Greyhound shipping takes a long time. Seriously. I bought this on July 22. I brought it home from the Greyhound terminal on September 20.
Tracking was really spotty - it basically just looked like it sat in Chicago for the better part of 2 months - and still showed as in Chicago after it arrived.
The important thing is that it arrived safe and sound.
