40-215 opinions wanted
#2

It has chipped veneer on the front but the finish on the top is also shot. It would be nice if there were some photos of the sides of the cabinet as well. I wouldn't know where to begin on an offer, to me it's maybe worth $50-75 tops as is. Don't forget that these are full of rubber covered wire, and it's missing the remote control box, unless the seller has it sitting around and not knowing that it belongs with the radio. According to the gallery it's the same as a 40-205RX/39-55RX chassis, except that they added a pair of shortwave bands. An interesting set because of the remote control but nothing special in terms of performance, basically a five tube radio with a push pull output stage, no extra RF or IF amplifiers.
Regards
Arran
