inquiry
#1

Total Newbie to vintage radios. I have been asked by a relative to see if these 2 console radios have any value.
Model 650X (as near as I can determine)
Model 41-280

Both are in reasonably restorable shape. My Aunt claims that my uncle listened to them often over the years, but has not for approximately 5. I was reluctant to plug them in and try them, but will soon when I return.
They are located in Myrtle Beach,SC. I am in NY.

Thanks
