Hello,
The other day I saw an 86 on ebay. I happened to see all 15 Buzz videos. Fantastic !!!.
I won the auction. What surprised me is the price: $ 60. The cabinet is in perfect condition. As for the chassis, it will possibly need a major restoration. What I don't understand is that a radio from 1929 is so cheap. Are they not collectibles in the USA? Anyway, better !!!!. Too bad I live 6,000 km away. The price of transport is something else.
