I got several of my radios that way back in the '60s. Today people know they are antiques and folks will pay good money for them, so such generosity is a lot less frequent. Funny how the "junk" of fifty years ago are now the "antiques" of today.

People will pay good money for SOME of them. The problem is that there are a lot of radios that deserve restoration and people will not pay anything for them.
