Another 87 Lowboy? (Bought it!)
#1

Just got off the phone with a friend I am supposed to see for a cookout Sunday. He is the one who works on radios and he just offered me a working 87 Lowboy for something like $30-$50. Said he had it dumped off on him in return for a repair job he did and he's been too sick the past week to mess with much. Guess he hooked the radio up and it worked fine, pulling in a lot of stations with only him using his fingers on the antenna post. He also said the intricate grill was at least mostly intact with only minor damage. Now.. I already have an 87 lowboy, but should I pick this one up? Sounds like it already has things neutralized right and sounds like it is already working better than the one I have. Hmmm.. Icon_think

No matter where you go, there you are.
