Kirk is quite correct, many people would love to get a radio of that age with a nice rust free chassis. The case is super as well. You can surely get soem records to spin and think of entertaianing your friends with a Bing or Sinatra disc? Stored in a dry part of the country indoors is a bonus.

Maybe you can bring the wife around? Not to mention the generational thing, my favorite radio is a Silvertone belonged to my great Uncle and a RCA my Dad pulled from a basement. Are they Super deluxe, not really but I am attached.

Yours even has a discwasher!
