Over the weekend, my wife and I did some antique shopping, and in one shop I saw a Philco 37-38 shouldered tombstone battery radio.

Here's what was done to it - the photo finish was completely stripped off (looked like plywood!), the grill cloth was replaced with something that was purple burlap, and they wanted $80 for it!

At least it was marked down from $100 to start.

No thanks. Icon_sad
