I did real well over the weekend at the Sargent's Auction in Garland tx. Heres a nice Marconi radio that was a must have and wasn't leaving without it. I also picked up  two 16b tombstones for under a hundred $ , and others. The Marconi plays but needs a tune up and a refinish job. Started teardown today and will post pictures with the after but for now here are the before pics.
