Like I said, it is the question of whether you want this radio or not. This radio is just another radio, it is not a representative one, highly sought after one etc etc. It is just that - another American radio from 1940. Not a bad radio. $80, especially in Ukraine, is not bad at all.
If you do like it, and the style of it fits your collection, you could choose to go for it; if it is not on your bucket list or strongly wanted list - skip it.

There are no strong pros or cons.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
