I am looking at these two radios. Seller wants twice as much for the 38-60B. Photo finish on the radio is good. Rest of cabinet has some scatches. Cabinet on 40-130T is beautiful. At this time I can only go for one of them. Any input would be appreciated.
Neither have been recapped.

I'd go for the 40-130T. Those model 60's everywhere! Unless you don't have a thing for rubber wiring.
