Which cabinet is the set? If it's the chairside, the 75 buck price may not be too horrible.

The table model is kind of nice, but not for over half a c-note. I have both of them. It's a nice set. I would imagine you would have a Grand Rapids and Chicago dial scale on that one.

A couple of years ago, Chuck Schwark was compiling a list of how many different dial scales were made for those sets. I wonder what his latest count is?

I bought my chairside 38-7 in Grosse Pointe, and it has a Chicago dial scale on it.

One little bit of trivia, if you hadn't already heard. Those dial scales don't show any stations in the right place. All of the stations changed frequency the end of March, 1941.
