Thank you Arran! That is precisely the information I was looking for! I like its' imposing gigantic cabinet and odd dial. All of the interior stickers were intact and in good shape, and had some color left to them. Chassis just looked dirty, not rusty. As to overall condition of the cabinet, the sides and front looked pretty nice from what I could see-don't think there were any veneer missing, but it was placed in the center of a large round wooden table with things all around it, and at the base of the table like sewing machines and such (arranged like a Christmas tree display) and the radio had a large ceramic "thing" on top of it, so I didn't get so good a look at that. The RCA was an afterthought for the man, because he didn't show it to me until I was ready to leave (we were talking about jukeboxes and Victrolas-he has some nice ones- THEN to radios, etc...). Arran, do you know off the cuff which pins I should be checking? I've looked at different posts on the net, and there seemed to be some disagreement about the procedure and analysis of the data. Any info is appreciated. Thanks
Jim
