WOW! That's a cool console! And yes, Jim ALWAYS like an RCA, but alas, not this one, because of the major (to me) cabinet damage. My cabinet "repair" days are over until I get the proper facilities. Which will be never. At any rate, I was not able to make it there today, as I wound up taking my brother to the hospital again (41st time since last February) I usually wind up staying there about 12 hours, before they even admit him. I stayed 2 hrs. tonight. Told them to call me if he's coming back home tonight or staying. You never know. Anyhoo, I want one of you guys to get it, if possible. Maybe I can pick it up and ship it greyhound or something. One slight problem, though. Here it is: I rebuilt this 38-1 and gave it to my brother. He liked it, and accepted it. But now I know it's not exactly his cup of tea, as he only worked the knobs once or twice since it got put back together. I showed him a pic. of the RCA from the net the other night before I posted here. He LOVED it. I had him pretty much convinced about buying it. (HE would have to buy it, for I have $0. I quit my job to take care of him. I get no compensation for what I do, though my basic needs are met. It took a couple months to cough up the $ for the components for the 38-1). OK. Since I saw the crack, I don't want it, so it will be easy enough to "unconvince" him, that he doesn't want it, also. He does want an old tabletop, though. So, now I have to re-re-convince him to get it, for this purpose. A'int no big deal, though. I'll see what I can do.
