WHAT a DAY!
I went out this week to get veneer and bendable plywood. I was telling the guy I needed it for a curve on a radio. he says "i got a bunch of radios to get rid of"
went to his house and he had a 640, 16, and a GE console, A zenith royal transoceanic g500, 2 crosley chatterboxes with original pamphlets and a few others. I only bought the 16,the zenith and a big box of tubes.
Here is my find:

I'd toss the Selenium rectifiers. Everything else looks great. How do you find these?

I over paid a bit I think. $__ for the lot.
He said all were working and updated by a neighbor. (years ago)
No such luck! both radios are dead. You are welcome to them Eric.

Great stuff Well out of his basement and into yours.

My basement is temperature controlled and finished. his was gross but clean. There was white mold on the cabinet but it wiped away.
It kills me that the radios are dead. the 16 lights up but gets nothing. there is an on off switch on the side but I don't know what it is for.
I should have tried them at his house before buying them.
