Yep. Radios prior to 1924 and all of the battery supers (less RCA) are the ones most radio collectors are looking for - - - Icon_wtf

- - Don't tell anybody!!

The original tubes are hard to find and may cost more than the radio.

To illustrate this - I just finished (yesterday) a Radiola III and a Balanced Amp. Both are being used as displays for the WD-11s and tipped WD-11s which are worth more than the radios. - - - I suppose that I could just make a stand for the tubes.
