Where are you located? I am aware of one for sale in central Kentucky that needs total restoration. You need to contact John Goller to find out about it. john AT johnjeanantiqueradio DOT com

Yes, I do feel fortunate to once again have one of the Mighty 690 models. This one isn't leaving, either. It works well as is, but someone worked on it before I acquired it and the person did not rebuild the bakelite blocks. Some time when I have the time to do so, I will go through it again and not only rebuild the bakelite blocks, but also add old-style tubular caps, restuffed with new components of course, to replace the exposed caps. This one deserves the best.
