Anyone have one of these? There is one on the local CL that looks pretty good except for a broken dial glass, the usual rotten push buttons, and missing the 1232 tube.

Seems looking at the riders that this would be a good player.

I have a 40-190, with a 7G7 I think in place of the 1232. It sounds great with very rich sound and loud bass, even before being restored (I know, I know..)

The skyscraper deco cabinet is my favorite of any console, hence my name. It is rather common though. If the price is low enough, I would grab it.
