You are likely right when it comes to cabinet restoration. In the case of my radio, though, the finish can't be beat--bar none! And the electronics were done by a top restorer who used components of higher grade and specs than needed. But I'm still very tempted to lower the price to 3,200.00 just so I don't have to deal with ebay!

Any guesses on the value of the Philco consolette pictured above? I don't want to waste my time or my consignor's if it isn't worth at least a couple hundred dollars. Have too much of my own I could take to the show instead. But I must admit they are a LOT heavier!!
