No, you aren't nuts, you're just hooked on vintage radios. Icon_lol

Arran is right in that the price is rather high - but if you can afford it, and since you say you and your wife like it, I say go for it - only because it is my understanding that vintage radios are harder to find in Arizona.

The knobs are not difficult to find. I have a small drawer full of those 1928-30 knobs...I think. Icon_think
