Greetings Elijah, very cool Old Testament name btw!

Joe Rebar is the real deal, he is meticulous. He is also very willing to make good any problems after a sale. Keep in mind he is a seller and restorer.
He enjoys what he does but also tries to turn a little profit. You are paying him to find it, clean it, restore it, some parts, maybe a tube if there was a weakling. This being said many on the Phorum like to find, clean, restore, listen and collect so they are already some of what you are paying Mr. Rebar for, so his price may appear high to some. It may be that sometimes you would like to buy a set you find attractive and have sort of an out of the box it is ready to go experience. That is what you are getting. Nothing wrong with that.

There may be some who cut corners on the Attic, Joe is not one of them. Everyone has their own angles of enjoyment in this hobby and view the antique radio experience as seen through their own spectrum, and that is reflected in the many different responses your post got. My 2 cents...

All the best in collecting. Icon_biggrin
