If it's at an auction why is it at $80? Is that the opening bid? By the way the model 40-145T looks like it was more popular, likely because of the pushbuttons, neither were as popular as the 40-180X or the slant front table versions. As I mentioned it has a six tube chassis, with three bands, for the right price I wouldn't turn one down but I don't really need one either. I'm not sure what the sixth tube does, it might be an RF amp or an extra IF amp, though sometimes they would use a double diode tube as a detector/AFC just to make a five tube set into a six tube, without really doing anything else.
Regards
