Packed away in 1941!!!
At least that's what the story is, and it looks good enough to be true:

It's already all over the Halli list.
Assertions have been made that the front panel is a repaint. Looks pretty good to me. Joe Walsh is one of the bidders. Should be interesting.

Yeah, Joe dropped nearly $5K on an SX-88 a year or 2 back, didn't he? I think my SX-73 is more rare, prolly a tad better set, but SX-73s are plug-ugly, & don't have the rep the 88s do. BTW, that SX-62 I got back from Terry's? Consider that one retired. It found a PERMANENT home, in The Ship's Radio Room, back in the back of my house. It ain't a-goin' anywhere...<grin>

I had emailed the seller regarding the fact that the dial lights are lit in the pics. I asked if he had fired it up, and if it worked. He just replied, and said it works perfectly.

Nope. Seems like it was discussed over on the R-390 board.

Wow, thats kind of cool looking. Not for me though. I used to be into old radios--here's mine. I was into the wood ones, not the ham ones though. I wish it worked. This thread kind of makes me want to get into old radios again.

I think it just needs to be recapped. A friend of mine ordered them for me, but ive been busy and havent been able to get by and pick them up.--So many things on my "to do" list. I also need a G-55 tube for it.
