I got there probably around 10-10:30 and saw the radio shelves were still full as if nobody had purchased any radios yet. Then I saw the high prices and realized why. Common $5-10 radios you'd find at radio swap meets were priced $40 and up. Crazy!

Then I saw a little homemade wood box on the top shelf priced at only $4. Curious, I opened it up to find one of the power supplies for old radios that Antique Electronics Supply in Arizona sells. Here's a picture of one from their website:



That's all I bought there.

The good news is that an hour earlier I scored a nice Zenith 15-U-269 at an estate sale in Watertown, Wisconsin. Now I have to decide the age-old question of whether or not to restuff the caps, or just replace them in a radio this valuable. Here's the Zenith in my garage before I took the chassis out to get the set into my basement:





Even the grille cloth was in great condition.
