That looks mighty similar to one we had at an NJARC club auction many years ago. Too big and heavy for most folks to even consider taking home, they couldn't get anywhere near a hundred dollars for it even AFTER the auctioneer pointed out that it had two globe '50 tubes in it!

One advantage (disadvantage?) to collecting within a a good club environment, you get filled up with good stuff so quickly you HAVE to slow down.
