Has anyone seen this coin-op?
#6

I used to think that coin operated radios were something unusual but they seem to come up more often then you would think. One thing to keep in mind is that they were usually overbuilt using steel or heavy duty wooden cabinets. This example looks like it uses the same chassis as one of the Setchel Carlson "frog" models, what that means in terms of rarity I don't know. To be honest I think $94 is a little steep for something like this, especially if it's DOA, when you get down to it you still have a five or six tube AC/DC set inside.

Arran
