My buddy has one of those here in Dallas and I think he would sell it and it has the factory cloth still in it and in very good condition. You also may wait till the BIG BIG antique radio auction here in Garland tx . May 9th and you also can bid on line. Don't you live in the area. I do , I refinish radio cabinets for THE RADIOMAN in Garland Tx.That's where the auction will be at .

Hi Fred,
Yes I live in Waxahachie.  I joined VRPS in January.  I had forgotten about the auction on May 9th.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will you be at the meeting this month?  I'd like to introduce myself.

Wow, you are very generous!  Does that include Priority Mail?  I'm usually very impatient!  Icon_biggrin

Still nothing from the seller.

Yes I was sitting by the wall next to the Big guy Henry Harmony, I sold 3 console radios there, do remember the philco 116b tombstone, I was the 1 who won the bid on it .

Yup, I remember seeing you. 
I won the bid on the Conar tube tester, the Eico 320 Signal generator, and the variac.

We just never met.  Hopefully I'll met you at the May auction.

Well, the CL has been deleted and never any contact from the seller despite multiple emails over the past week. Looks like I was never meant to get it. I'll see what the May 9th auction has.
