There was a Stratosphere at Goodwill the other day. Someone bought it for $35.

But HERE is the rest of the story about the T/O I just picked up.

I went to a guy's house to see about the Transoceanic, and he wanted to show me his radio collection. In his house there were at least 25 classic old radios from the 1930's. Probably 17 or 18 consoles and the rest were Cathedrals and Tombstones. Some table radios. Everything was in ridiculously nice condition. Many round dial Zeniths, and others that were pretty rare radios. I was in awe of what I saw. A couple large rooms that could pass as a museum, and a couple smaller rooms as well. Truly an amazing collection. I felt like whipping out my phone and taking some photos, but thought the better of it.

We talked radios for a while, and then he GAVE me the T/O. He told me he's not into radios for money. But just for the fun and pleasure of collecting. He said he could tell that I would give it a good home.

I have found that antique radio people are very fine human beings. This guy was a cut above that. I'm still amazed at his collection, and his generosity.
