My experience: Scott radios are rare. McMurdos are more rare than Scotts. Pre-war Midwests in an original cabinet are even more rare to find than McMurdos.

If you like it, buy it. I sold a similar 1940 Midwest about 6 years ago for $450. It had that gimmicky cardboard organ pipes and an RP but it was a nice sounding radio.
