Reasonable Offer for 16b Peaked Tombstone
#15

If this was one of the usual as is sets you see on fleabay needing cabinet work and a refinish I would have said no, but this set looks like it was well looked after so $300 was probably a fair price. If there is anything wrong with the chassis it won't be from corrosion damage.
I still remember going around in circles with a no mind on the other forum about a similar priced (actuallly higher priced)16B set, except it looked like a POS, water damage to cabinet, rusty chassis. He thought I was high when I said it needed at least $200+ worth of work on the low end, "It only needs $20 worth of caps and resistors" he claimed, yah right! I guess we can assume that every tube, coil, and transformer is fine without checking, no thank you, not for $375 anyhow.
Regards
Arran
