Kirk;
I knew what it would be like the first time you posted a link to that auction, a typical "antique mall" style restoration, or what I call a "strip n' clearcoat" job, there are a few of those sorts of radios on my nearby craigslist sites. If you know what to look for it's very difficult for them to hide, no toners, a flat lifeless look, pits from open grain.
Regards
Arran
