Are you sure that it is a model 71LZ and not the previous years' 370 Lazyboy? Production for both models appears to be 16,285, not common but not rare either. I generally try to pay as little as possible since the chassis is unknown so would try not to go above $125, maybe $150 at the top end since you want a chairside, there are others out there. Part of the beaded molding is missing, so inspect for other cabinet issues.

Just took a closer look at it. It is a 370LZ not the 71LZ.

If he only wants $40.00 what are you doing still pondering over it? Go get it! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

That sounds like a reasonable price, to most people it's just an old fashioned end table, apparently the cabinet was styled by Norman Bel Geddes, not that the name means much these days. Nothing wrong with a 370 Lazyboy, as long as the autodyne oscillator doesn't cause problems

I'll mention a couple of fine points on the 370 that are different from the 70/70B that you currently have. The major thing is that the vol/off-on and tuning are on two concentric shafts. The original vol/off-on control is made out of unobtanium. A single resistor and pot combo (sold as a replacement) doesn't really preform same way the dual pot does.
The dial and drive has a couple of pot metal gears. Haven't seen any failures but I have seen some swelling which makes the tuning knob hard to turn. There's an easy fix which is to slightly enlarge the hole in the gear on the dial.
Your a mechanical kinda guy and I just wanted to give you a little heads up before you dive in. Oh for autodyne detector hater this set doesn't use a single tube mixer like the 80,84,89,19, and so on. It has a 24A mixer/27 lo.

Thanks for the info Terry. Luckily for me there appears to be no swelling in the pot metal gear it rotates the tunner easily
