Great find! It's amazing how many vintage radios can be found at flea markets, garage sales, and automotive parts swap meets. I was at the Turlock, CA swap today and came across a Motorola console with AM radio and turntable for $10, an Airlines brand wooden AM tabletop model for $25, and last but not least was a Philco short style console model from what appeared to be the 30's. I could not find a model number number. Tuner was not frozen. The chassis looked good (from a distance) but the cabinet needed lots of TLC. I figured I would take a chance if it was $20 to $30 but he wanted $75. That was too much for my wallet. Now watch it be one of those ultra rare, ultra desirable models! Oh well. It would have been rather difficult to get the truck in there to pick it up anyway. I'm sure it will be there again.
