Haha, Rich!  I wish we could shrink down these consoles for shipping! But maybe it’s all for the best that we can’t, because I would have far too many of them.

And thank you, Mr. Fixr! Yes, I do like to see a spiffy chassis inside of a spiffy console.

Hello Joseph,
I have five consoles, and the fifth one is just a 1950s el-cheapo AM/phone Cornodo. It looks like someone put a tabletop radio in it, so I need to gut it and get rid of it.

Sincerely Richard

Gee Rich;
I have more consoles then that in one room, not as many as Mike and the other guys, console radios are like coat hangers, but the ones I do have are usually the more worthy ones, and not solely by tube count. I've passed on more then a few just because they were too common, or had too much missing, like a 41-280, the math didn't make sense then, and even less so now.
Regards
Arran
