Thinking about buying model 630 Console?
#1

I am using an online auction to bid on a Philco 630 Console, but I am trying to decide if I should stay all in on this one or drop out at some time?  My plan is to stop at $20.

This radio could be a lemon or parts radio or a fixer upper, I just can't tell from the auctiion photos.  But the good thing is no shipping cost because it is located about 30 miles from home.  Anyway I'm thinking I should have another Philco in my stash of radios.  But I really don't need another console and if I buy this 630 I don't know where to keep it?

What would you do?  
Are these 630's worth it?
