A fellow that I know who buys and sells scrap metal gave me a call today and said he was cleaning out a property and they had this old radio that they didn't want.. he said I could have it .. So I met him and this is what I brought home FOR FREE.. I have not had a chance to look at it but all the tubes are there and the speaker looks good.
It's a 1933/34 GE k85,,,[RCA 140] Not a bad deal for free
