I agree with Ron and would like to know where these other guys are finding grandfather clock radios for under $150 (in decent condition).

That set is one of my favorite grandfather clock radios and it has remained "upstairs" via the wishes of my wife Icon_wink

I like both the styling of the cabinet and the dial face. If the clock motor is original I wouldn't have a qualm going up to $250 for it... if as Ron says it looks as good as the pictures. Knobs will be no problem so the only issue is getting a finial made or finding an original.

Good luck!
