37-675X De Luxe
#5

The grille cloth hole alone is enough of a reason not to pay top dollar if you can avoid it, a hole in the speaker cone is relatively easy to fix. Just keep in mind that the average member of the public doesn't know the difference between a 12 tube radio and a 5 tube radio when they have one in their possession; in fact some don't even know what tubes are let alone that having more of them in a radio usually means it's higher end. In my thinking if it is complete with all knobs, tube shields, hardware, speaker, no obviously signs of butchery like a crudely installed phono jack and bat switches, no rust, cabinet solid with a decent original finish, then I would say $150 or less given the hole in the cloth. Without good pictures it's hard to know for sure, and I don't mean the crappy ones usually posted on craigslist or kijiji that only show you the flattering side. Consoles are a liability to most people, they are hogs for floor space, especially when they don't play, and they are usually trying to get rid of them.
Regards
Arran
