Boston, huh......
I think Henry meant that people are unwilling to spend much for a 20 with a broken grille in his area. If they are fairly common there then that would make sense, prospective buyers would rather pass on a fixer upper and wait for one with a better grille . I've noticed that certain makes tend to turn up more in certain areas then others, and sometimes the location of the manufacturing plant is unrelated to whether you will find them nearby. Like for some reason Bob Andersen rarely sees a Stewart Warner, even though they were built in Chicago, but finds lots of Philco sets ever though they were made in Philadelphia. On that note Jersey is likely pretty good for finding RCA Victor products since their main plant was in Camden.
