    I got this gem today for $45. It still works, sort of. With a really good antenna, you can pick up a few stations, but you can't hear it unless the volume is all the way up. All the tubes check out good, and it has had its electrolytics heen replaced. I just don't know if it was done correctly. I was told that it has no B+. I think someone mucked up the capactors. What do you all think?
