Well...
I Did it... Local guy who comes to our club meetings sometimes wanted to unload a few radios for debt reasons.
he was in the middle of restoring this one when I guess he needed money. I first looked at it 2 weeks ago. he was going to put it up on Ebay. I passed up a 38-5B last year in favor of a 16B (which I haven't gotten to yet)
So, I paid too much for it. 175. it's mostly restored, cabinet wasn't finished. since I looked at it it's gained decals (in the wrong places). works well, except the shadow meter is pretty meh. I haven't pulled the chassis yet to see how "restored" the paper caps and resistors are. Also he finished painting the PS end caps. I see he tried to clean the dial scale *eye roll* Hope RD makes a repro, Unless Chuck is making them again? (I wish) but all in all it's nice, cabinet is in really nice condition.
