Philco 41-629P
#1

I found a 41-629 today. Luckily I did some research here before making up my mind. I realized that it is missing the Beam of Light tone arm. I thought that it had the tone arm, but that it was installed on the left side. I thought, "now that's odd, installed over there." I learned that the left side arm was used to record records, not to play them. The playing arm should be on the right, but it's missing. Probably raided for parts because that BOL arm is desired for parts.

Anyway, they asking price is $85, but seems high without that arm. Question is, did I make the right call to pass it up, or should I go back for it? Just wondering if the radio in that condition is worth it...
