I've had some luck finding radios (more so in selling radios though) on Facebook marketplace. Last night I missed out on a gem, and only about 40 miles away. It was a 1937 Zenith console model 10S153. Ten tubes, target tuning, big black dial. It was missing the beehive speaker and a couple of the wood knobs but otherwise complete. Price? FREE!!!! I spotted it about 3 hours after it was posted, and, of course by the following morning the listing was pulled. I suspect it was gone within the first hour.

Greg,
Sounds like your luck is improving and I am sure you will find something .
I have not bought any radios since last summer .
