Picked this up on Saturday (9/29) at the big Jefferson, WI old car show of all places for $10. The seller wanted $15, and accepted my $10 offer. Three new capacitors, some off white paint, a new dial glass, DeOXit and lots of cleaning was all she needed. Tubes all checked out good. I had everything here, so I didn't have to purchase anything specifically for the set, so it's still only a $10 investment. Not a bad score!
